Shogun ‑ Landing Page Builder

I trialed Gempages, Shogun, and Pagefly page builders. Shogun is the one I will continue using. Gempages was frustratingly slow and I didn't even get three days through the trial before uninstalling. Pagefly is a close second with great performance and the best variety of modules. Shogun won out because of the direct support they give with a personal customer success manager. (Thank you for all your help, Charles) It performs the best and is by far the easiest to use which translates to faster pages. The ability to organize, restructure, and move modules is so much easier than the other two I tried. My only criticism is the lack of the ability to directly modify the HTML or CSS within the app. Not enough of a mark to knock my review down a star. This app will be the backbone of a pretty major website overhaul and it's a pleasure to use.

Spent so much time trying to add little things to my homepage for the free Supply theme through online forums with bits of code that worked 30% of the time. I then came across this app and it works so well, especially for your homepage!

absolutely one of the top apps available. i could not imagine going back to the design i had prior to using shogun. customer service is top notch as well!!

I'm all but taken away by not only the EXTREMELY VALUABLE tutorial information that Nick had shared, but also by the lengths that the support staff are willing to go to, in order to help their customers. After countless hours of research and review-reading that I've done for the past couple of months, as well as the disappointment that had nearly "rained on my parade" (due to the negative reviews given by some on a variety of sites affiliated with launching a retail store online), I'd almost turned away from my dream. Thanks to Nick and the rest of the support staff, I've turned that frown upside down. With every tutorial I watch and every confidence-building reply that I receive from these professionals, I find myself becoming more knowledgeable in a realm of the website building process and the blinders have finally been stitched on. With such talented individuals on the Shogun team, the only chance at outside failure is the inability or unwillingness to put one's defeated subconscious aside, grab that bull by the horns & force one's way down the right path. I now have the utmost respect for the staff at Shogun. PHENOMENAL EFFORT, SHOGUN!!!!!! CLASS ACT!!!! Oh..and P.S....I was in a bit of a bind today and saw that Shogun was closed until Monday. I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed, but not in Shogun. I knew that I still had a ton of products to view, review, determine whether or not I wanted them in my store, price checks and practically playing the part of a day trader just to assure that I'd be competitive in the roulette-world of eCommerce. I did, however, understand that everyone needs time off each week. Then, out of the blue, Nick replied to a message that I'd sent early this morning. When I finally saw that there was a response 2 hours prior to me seeing it, I replied to his message (thinking that a time lapse would occur before I heard back from him), but to my surprise, he read my message and responded right away. Thank you, Nick!!!!

I needed more customization options than shopify allowed as a non-coder and they make it super easy and have the fastest support team I've ever dealt with!

Great product, great customer service!

Customer Support was extremely helpful.

Prompt, professional, and personable.

So far so good; really helpful tool in creating attractive pages (About, FAQ) you'd think would be included in a $180 Shopify theme. Excellent, insanely fast customer service. Jill fixed a small issue I was having two minutes after I asked. Highly recommended!

Here's the thing. I'm cruising along buildin' ma' pages, loving the app, when about midnight on Saturday rolls around and I get this mysterious Shopify error message inside Shogun's page builder. The kind where I'm at a stand still and can't publish pages. I'm NOT a developer so I go through the usual amateur motions of flailing my way around google trying to figure out what could be happening as panic sets in. I try Shopify support and wait for an hour in a que (#78..). Very nice guy says he'll pass it on to the developer. I'm think: yeah, right (cynical, i know).

I give up, write an SOS email to Shogun support and figure I'll just sleep on it ...hoping against hope I won't be jolted awake by nightmares of catastrophic failure (i.e. cyber weekend is coming and i got no storefront). Oh, and I'm already writing off Sunday cuz no way I'm gonna hear back, right?

No sooner than I set my toothbrush down than I get a...get this...I get a PHONE CALL...from a strange number. I'm like, no, it can't be. I pick up. "Hey, it's Nick from Shogun - saw your email and figured you were working late, too..." whaaaaat?

A super-calm and professional Nick explains that they were working on a new feature and it was causing this error and they'd have it fixed by morning. BOOM.

Lights out. Slept like a baby.

Since then, I've needed support a few times and I gotta' say it feels good to know there's an open line to Shogun's team.

Moral of the story?

Not a developer? Need waaay better Shopify pages...AND sleep at night? Shogun.

Shoguns page builder was easy to use and beautiful on my website. Their customer support system was top-notch. The app is an overall hit- especially for e-com brands that want to take their store to the next level (where a theme might be too simple).
