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

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.
