Strikingly Review (2026)
Strikingly is kind of the new kid on the block in the website builder market. It was launched in 2012 - years later than its main competitors - and has gained quite some popularity since then. The website builder’s focus is creating single page websites without any programming skills.
This makes it very interesting for marketers and small businesses. Typical examples are portfolios, product landing pages or events where you show all your information on one good-looking page. In addition to your showcase, you can also add an online store and a blog.
The designs look very modern and will be displayed perfectly on smartphones and tablets. You can even enhance the mobile experience by adding a mobile action such as an easy access ‘call’ or ‘send email’ button. This will make browsing your website even easier on smartphones and tablets.
Their entry plan is free forever, allowing you to create a basic website and test Strikingly's main features. Strikingly expanded the 1-page limit to 5 pages under the Limited plan, enabling you to move beyond single-page websites. However, if you require more, the Pro plan is your go-to option. It supports up to 100 pages, which is likely more than sufficient for most websites.
Let’s find out what else Strikingly has to offer! We’ll take a deep dive at what shines and what they need to improve.
Strikingly Pricing
Prices are quoted for 1-year contracts, with a domain included for 1 year. You can also opt for a monthly subscription. For a more economical option, there are 2, 3, or even 5-year plans available. The entire fee for these long-term plans must be paid upfront, but doing so will enable you to save up to 30% on your subscription.
There’s also an add-on Audience plan, which lets you add live chat, email campaigns and paid membership subscriptions. It starts at $10/month.
Custom email addresses using your own domain can also be purchased through Strikingly – these are offered at $25/year.
Strikingly Review: Conclusion
Strikingly is a website builder that shines when you want to create a single page layout. These designs have become quite popular, because they give you a good overview without having to navigate several pages. You just scroll up and down.
Every page is divided in several sections. You just click on the spot where you want a certain feature and add it. This can be a picture, some text or a contact form. You can even add more advanced features like booking forms or popups, although we found these to still be quite basic compared to the tools offered by other website builders (for example, we couldn’t find a way to accept payments through the booking tool).
If you don’t find what you need, you might find it in their app store (which, unfortunately, doesn’t hold a huge selection of apps) or you can also add some HTML directly. Keep in mind that you will need a paid plan for this.
Strikingly also comes with ecommerce. Of course, this makes only sense for small online stores. Managing a store with hundreds of products on a single page might not be very user-friendly and you will clearly have some SEO disadvantages.
Why is that? Normally, you optimize every single page for a specific keyword. Since you put all your information on one page, your info will get watered-down for Google. Is your content mainly a contact page, product page or just a portfolio of your best works? I guess you see the problem here. If SEO is important to you, you would most likely need multiple pages with more focused content.
That being said, recent updates suggest that ecommerce is an area that Strikingly is focusing more on, so we wouldn’t be surprised if this is something they address in the near future.
Where Strikingly really shines, is support. They won our extensive support test, beating established website builders like Wix and Squarespace.
Strikingly is also a very affordable option: while almost all the other website builders kept on increasing their prices over the years, Strikingly kept their subscription fees steady.
So if you just need a small website for an event, a personal portfolio or some other kind of landing page, Strikingly might be perfectly fine for you. You will set it up in no time. In case you plan to create a more complex structure, you should check out Weebly. Their website is also very intuitive, but you can add an unlimited amount of subpages.
