Pinegrow

Essenziale

Kommentare: Dimezzamento (anche più) dei tempi di sviluppo. Controllo assoluto di tutti gli aspetti per lavori di piccole dimensioni. Creazione semplice di moduli Wordpress.

Vorteile:

Presenza di tanti template, piena compatibilità con Bootstrap 4 e 5, facilita estrema nella creazione delle pagine web e della customizzazione dei vari elementi. Presenza abbondante di tutorial sul blog dedicato. Grazie a Pinegrow ho dimezzato i tempi di sviluppo.

Nachteile:

Localizzazione in italiano assente, personalmente non amo gli abbonamenti anche se in offerta ho un prezzo mensile vantaggioso.

Alternative WebSite/WP editor which successfully target professional site developer market

Kommentare: After few years of use and numbers of good websites, we earn much more money than Pinegrow software price is. And sites are professional , stylish and easy for maintained. It is very good softvare, which become even better with every new update/upgrade. Excellent job for Pinegrow team.

Vorteile:

Integration of every major website technology you can need in one package is the most interesting thing in this package. It is obvious that Pinegrow software developer team consist of website programmers which know todays internet trends. You can code your site in classic ways: HTML, PHP, CSS or in modern technology throughout WordPress templates, WP actions, Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap technology and so on...

Nachteile:

The is no FTP client integration, at all. You need additional FTP client for all server oriented jobs, no upload, no download from Pinegrow. And Pinegrow dont refresh links to your site files in the local disk, you have to do it manually - no local CRON. If you rename name of any file in disk, there are no option for automatic refresh and correction of all links at your developed site.. you have to do it manually, and it is a time consuming job sometimes.

An impressive app, but I never felt at home with it

Kommentare: Pinegrow allows you to work with HTML and CSS through a graphical interface, offering tight integration with Bootstrap and other frameworks. In theory, this should be a real time-saver, but in practice I was never sure if the app was more of a help or a hinderance. Pinegrow doesn’t hide the complexity of web development. You’re still very much dealing with code, and needing to understand the mechanics of that code, but with an added layer of abstraction that made me feel disconnected from the code I was trying to write.

Vorteile:

What sets Pinegrow apart from most modern website builders, and what drew me to it initially, is that it gives you the freedom to edit your HTML and CSS directly, on top of all the convenience of framework integration and drag-and-drop components. You can start a new project in Pinegrow, or open an existing website and start editing. The UI connects you to the code through a slew of panels and controls that allow you to edit object properties and styles. It supports modern features like CSS Grid, and outputs clean, standards-compliant code.

Nachteile:

Pinegrow is an ambitious piece of software. Unsurprisingly, it has a pretty steep learning curve. But for me, the features that let it down the most were some of the most basic ones: text handling operations like selecting, editing, copying and pasting. In my experience, these things were unpredictable and unreliable. For me, having the confidence that software will behave predictably is critical to enjoying my work and being productive.

A rather unique web editor

Kommentare: Pinegrow's visual interface for web page / css design has enabled me to create pages that are way better / more complex than I would otherwise have been able to create, and visually editing the layout / css properties has allowed me to experiment much more freely with design and layout adjustments, as well as content addition.

Vorteile:

You need to understand html/css etc. to use Pinegrow, but it makes you many times more productive than hand-coding (whilst achieving identical html/css results).

Nachteile:

There is a fair learning curve. It is wysiwyg, but it's much 'closer to the metal' than most other wysiwyg editors. That's OK - it's aimed at users with a good understanding of html/css and just makes them much more productive.

Excellent tool for web design

Kommentare: It's been really good, I've used it for several projects and it's been quick.

Vorteile:

When I bought it, it made it easy for me to create web pages with Frameworks CSS like Bootstrap or Foundation. Creating sections by dragging blocks and inserting elements in the easiest way. After several years with it, I have seen its growth and how it has been adding more tools like animation and now with Tailwind.

Nachteile:

No support for template development from other non-CSS frameworks. Possibly the subscription business model, although it is not totally abusive and you can continue using the add-on without the possibility of upgrading.
