ABOUT:

Strikingly is a web building application that relies on scrolling as its main draw. That is – strikingly does not allow you to build your website as more than one page, though you can link out to other items easily and as often as you like. Strikingly is a drag and drop platform that is easy if you can’t code, but can be frustrating if you rely on coding to allow you to manipulate templates.

Supported

PC, Mac

Pros

• Very easy drag-and-drop/WYSIWYG platform that requires no coding
• Provides a clean, copyright friendly backdrop that is in trend
• Looks great across devices

Cons

• You are stuck with the template. If you want to code to manipulate it, you must upgrade.
• If you want more than one long page, you can’t have it. This is your only option.

Uses:

You could use strikingly in a variety of ways. You could use it in an art class to showcase visual work, or build a website that presents a complex concept. Or like George Clark III, you could use it to host a portfolio for your major requirements. Anything that you could use a website for – strikingly will likely be a good fit.
