About Tilda Publishing
Tilda is a no-code website builder for creating all kinds of websites: online stores, landing pages, blogs, portfolios, and more.
But if you wish to make something different just use Zero blocks. What is more, there are a lot of ready-made integrations with CRM, chats and so on — just several clicks and everything works right.
5 my websites was blocked and don't worked during compliance procedure. They did not send me a notification before the account suspending, although nothing prevented they from doing this.

Easy to use and well integrated platform
Comments: Great. My only obstacle is my own speed of learning as this is not my main role.
Pros:
1) once I discovered the full feature set: the combination of Website builder, News (blog) engine, Email campaign builder. 2) built in CRM and form data capturing 3) resources: icon sets, tilda font, unsplash images 4) larger social sharing option set than most competitors 5) the separation of content from styling - and the fine tuning that can be done with the latter. 6) Font management
Cons:
No complaints about the platforms. Perhaps more attention and/or some additional features available for the blogging engine.
Tilda is a great alternative to Webflow for indie web creators.
Comments: Very good. Perfect for creating content.
Pros:
The price is awesome, if you want to try or experiment creating websites, it is the best option by far. The number of pages in the more basic plan is 1.000 which is great and provides a lot of room for content and ideas. And the editor is very very flexible. The modules provided are a lot and very well designed. And it's possible to create your owns super easily.
Cons:
There's no CMS. And if you personalize one module, the responsiveness is lost and it's needed to be adjusted everytime you change the size of the content in that module. But for me the flexibility and overall quality compensates a lot this. I'd like a better designed UX/IU. It's not bad, but it's a little bit behind.
Clients from the UK can’t always access pages built on Tilda
Pros:
Wonderful capabilities for building landing pages. Ability to create beautiful design.
Cons:
Last time I used it some customers couldn’t open the site due to firewall because their servers were located in Russia.
Great CMS to ramp-up your website
Comments: Tilda helps me to launch websites in MVP style - fast, good-enough quality, few hours to get a working website from the ground up. It's perfect tool for new startups - don't waste much time on taming the CMS, instead you quickly put together the message you want to send out, and test your hypothesis right away. And the time to go live is crucial for new businesses. If you are mature company, you may benefit from Tilda by using it for your landing pages. Marketing team would appreciate the ease of launching a new landing page, which is already SEO optimized, in just few hours :)
Pros:
- Lots of templates for all sorts of businesses - Flexible editor - Great SEO tools, that make your website indexed well - Reasonable pricing - Lots of personalization and customization features
Cons:
- Customizing some things (like animation, complex CSS stuff) is not possible as compared to traditional CMSes. But how often one would need those?
Super costumers support
Pros:
Perfect costumers support easy to set up and work
Cons:
There is nothing to write for Cons -
My First Experience with Tilda Publishing is Easy, Efficient, and Impressive
Comments: My overall experience with Tilda Publishing has been very positive. The platform is easy to use and made the design process smooth and enjoyable. I found it intuitive and efficient for my needs. However, I wish the free trial included access to more features, like data collection. Overall, Tilda has been a great tool for my projects.
Pros:
What I liked most about Tilda Publishing is how easy and efficient it is, even for someone new like me. I was able to create a landing page from scratch in just one and a half hours because of the intuitive interface and real-time editing, which makes changes quick and easy. The Responsive feature is really helpful because it ensures my landing pages look great on any device, perfect for users who don’t know much about making sites responsive. This saves a lot of time and effort. The Activity Dashboard also helps keep me organized by tracking my projects.
Cons:
What I liked least about Tilda Publishing was the limitation in the free trial regarding data collection services. It would have been nice to try out the data collection features before committing to a paid plan. Having access to these features during the trial would help new users understand and make better use of them.
My feedback on Tilda Publishing platform
Comments: Generally speaking, the platform is amazing, constantly improving, working with it is a pure pleasure.
Pros:
I like the logic of the interface, wide design possibilities, ease of use and intuitiveness of Tilda. Wonderful knowledge base. 10/10 when when the client's needs match the platform's technical capabilities.
Cons:
I don't really like the fact that you can't upload video files. Editing options for AMP pages are limited, and Google console does not want to monitor them, it shows errors. It would be perfect if converting a standard block to a Zero would transfer the design of the standard block to it.
A scalable website builder for many purposes
Pros:
-Versatile (we built so many different pages on tilda, from promo pages to even landing pages to even our business site...) -Aesthetics -SEO: Tilda-made pages rank very well! -Easy to use: we use Tilda for our marketing tasks and everyone in the team can quickly modify something if necessary. It's like working with Google Docs, everyone knows how to edit something! -Teamwork available -Price is super affordable, templates are free
Cons:
Maybe more templates would be nice - they have many now but sometimes we have to redesign them a lot to make them relevant for our goal. For the rest, the platform is very nice!
Best platform to create your presence online.
Pros:
Tilda is one of the easiest and most efficient platforms to use to build your website.
Cons:
I would like to see more flexibility across the building blocks; sometimes, it's annoying that one block has certain options and other blocks lack them. Hard to see the logic?
Black Front Review
Pros:
Very intuitive interface and ease of building entire pages
Cons:
possibility of greater freedom in personalizing tools
Quality review of Tilda
Pros:
- Nice functionality with Animations, UX & UI, SEO & data analytics- Good choice for Lead collection
Cons:
- Still lack of Multilanguage support & Fonts
Flexible and powerful
Comments: We started using Tilda for internal presentations in our app development agency Live Typing. Once we explored the features, we realized that it's the best tool for case studies. Designers can create beautiful pages without limitations, and our developers spend their time on customer projects.
Pros:
I would need a lot of time to list all Pros. I tried different editors, like Readymag and Webflow. Unfortunately, all of them require too much time, so it becomes easier to custom code things or ask a developer. Tilda is just a perfect balance, the library of predesigned blocks is huge, I think it almost 500 blocks there. Any block is flexible and configurable. It's so easy to update content for a regular manager, and designers can create amazing stuff with it. Tilda does not lock you on their platform. There is an ability to export code and save it on your costing or event integrate into your CMS via API. It's amazing how Tilda Publishing so friendly for beginners, and at the same time, you can add CSS and JS if you want. Other website constructors charge for specific features like data processing in form, but Tilda gives you everything right away (and yes you can accept forms data with your CRM, Zapier and custom scripts). There is basically one pricing plan – the difference only in quantity of websites under the account. Tilda's a tool for all levels of professionals, and I feel very powerful with it. I can create a webpage extremely fast and later constantly make it better step by step to the level when it looks like a 100% custom website created by a team of web designers and developers. Sometimes I think that Tilda does not charge enough, but I am glad about it :)
Cons:
Tilda adds features very fast, so I'm afraid to put something in the cons, but for example, now it's not possible to run animation in Zero blocks as a reaction on other object interaction. But there is no tool on the market where you can do it without custom code. If Tilda makes that feature, it will be an ultimate web page constructor not only for everybody but design professionals. Another thing is responsiveness corridor for big screens, right now Tilda allows you to control this ranges of responsiveness: 0 - 320 320 - 480 480 - 640 640 - 980 980 - 1200 1200 - up And I want to have 1200 - 1600 and 1600 - up Although some people think it would be too much :)
Really a great tool! But it needs a couple of adjustements here and there!
Pros:
I love the flexibility for building the pages the blocks system is really good, works well and is flexible enough to create you own when needed.
Cons:
The menu is really a pain, there are two ways to go around with the menu there is one by creating a menu as a page itself but then the linking process is more complex than it needs to be and the other solution is updating the menu page by page and that is really tedious. Also the menu design is somehow displayed different if you do it as general menu or page by page. The customer support could be improved, especially the chat response it can be slow. the document upload function is a most but is not there.. we need that feature! and the tilda batch on the bottom should be removable once you pay for the service! Why we need to pay extra for that? we are already clients so we are promoting the service anyway. I think it should up to me to keep it!

Abel, I see you used a menu not in the standard way but ready to help you with your needs. There is a possibility to exclude global menu for any separate page; also there is a second level menu and alias blocks. So there is no need to update the menu on each page manually. I must admit that our customer support chat could not be instantaneous, but we are working on a quick search for our comprehensive knowledge base. Recently we rolled out feature to accept any file with a form submission, so now it is possible to store user files in your Dropbox or Uploadcare accounts. You can remove "Made on Tilda" footer not once you pay annually, which most users do (Site settings ¿ More ¿ Platform label ¿ Off). Our monthly plan gives you all features without limitations and ability to select a color of minimalistic, stylish platform label in the bottom of the page. So there is no extra payment for the white label just a difference between annual ($10/m) and monthly plan ($15/m).
DOES IT GET ANY BETTER? I DOUBT IT!
Comments: The final destination was well worth it. Having had a trial on the well known website platforms; Squarespace, Wix, Weebly and others, I decided to spend hours and hours, months and months seeking a website builder that suits our organisation and associated businesses. Tilda was in sight but I had to trial it first in order to see if it met all our expectations and it nearly met all. We did not wait a couple of weeks before our white label trial ended, it soon became apparent that Tilda was for us. We immediately signed up for the business annual plan. A decision we have not regretted. I am hoping that Tilda will consider allowing PDF and Word documents to be uploaded as this is an essential part of our organisation. Yes, we can use third party applications, but I would like simply to be able to have the facility to upload documents so visitors can download them at their will on the same platform as our website. The other important feature that we would like to see a membership secure area. Again, we have this via a third party but not ideal. If Tilda can provide this, we would be extremely happy and would be happy to pay a Tilda developer, subject to costs, to build this for us. Pricing is really good. But we do need to purchase another business plan and highly likely several business plans, but an overall business plan that will allow us unlimited websites would be very welcomed indeed. We can then move all our websites away from sitemaker.com for good, but the costs prevent us doing this at presentl Surely, Tilda is superb, far superior to the website builders we have seen and tested. Well worth the purchase and we look forward to years of using Tilda and being part of their future progress. Well done to Tilda. I have a strong feeling that over the next couple of years, we will hear a lot about Tilda and I am confident that they will become a market leader.
Pros:
Too many to mention
Cons:
PDF and Word documents are not allowed to be uploaded, so these are important to most organisations and businesses nowadays. A a secure member's area would be great as well as file uploads via the online form blocks.

Libby, thank you for such detailed answer, it helps us to improve. Recently we rolled out feature to accept any file with a form submission, so now it is possible to store user files in your Dropbox or Uploadcare accounts. We understand desire yo use great Tilda's uploader for any files. Unfortunately, we're not yet ready to offer file-sharing services under the current cost. It looks like specific file-sharing services are holding that market (Dropbox, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc.) You can create secure members area with password protected pages in Tilda; also you could cover the whole website under specific login and password. Any website or a page created on Tilda suppose to be exportable, that is why we are not looking into full-featured personal cabinets. The more websites you do with Tilda, the cheaper cost of each website. There are extra plans to have many websites under one Tilda account (go to Plans and Billing under your account and expand the list)
I bet this will become the industry leader within 2 years!
Comments: I'm using tilda to run highsub.com and for the store i use Shopify via a custom integration i made (nothing too complicated). Tilda does provide out of the box e-commerce solution but i found shopify to be more robust for my needs. Currently Tilda is a perfect tool to handle all of my marketing pages (brand website + landing pages). I often start with a provided block from Tilda and then customize it for my needs. If nothing seems to fit, i create a custom Zero block - it takes a bit longer (no code required) but i always know that i can do pretty much anything i want.
Pros:
After reviewing all of the similar tools on the market I decided to go all in with Tilda. It is the ultimate balance between choosing from templates and being able to fully customize and create from scratch. Competitors such as Squarespace make you really depend only on their templates and as soon as you want to customize you are in big trouble as you realize they are a headache to change (unless you just want to change a color). With Tilda you can be rest assured that whatever design vision you have in mind you can do it with their Zero Block feature. It has also great out of the box sign-up forms, count-down timers for your product page launch, and really pretty much everything you need to make your website up and running within just a few days! (and often just within a few hours once you get used to it - which will take you about a week to be fully comfortable). I highly recommend Tilda if want to achieve what YOU want and not what a tool tells you to do!
Cons:
I wish there was a better Shopify integration as well as ability to create a member area. Sometimes it takes a bit of time to find a template block you want to find, so hopefully there will be an update to that.

Thank you Arseni for the detailed feedback
Slight Improvements Would Make This Platform The Market Leader In Site Building
Comments: Great site builder but.... Pages are in fact mini sites. So if you have many 'pages' it's going to take a whole lot of time updating the menu, because the menu tab has to be amended on each page rather than just once in a central portal. Document upload as the previous reviewer has said is a no no. In a modern world of PDF and WORD documents, a site builder that does not alllow these to be uploaded is in a way behind its competitors. Relying on Dropbox and other providers is very wrong. Everything should and must be housed within the site builder itself. Password protected pages/and or member's area is needed. The forms blocks needed to be reformatted as when they are delivered to the email in box, text is unreadable. I agree about pricing plans. Offer a discounted higher rate so the user can have many sites for one annual fee. Slight improvements would make this platform the market leader in site building.
Pros:
Fully responsive and google friendly.
Cons:
No facility to upload PDF and WORD documents, no member's area, menu tab should allow its updating only once and not on every single page and price plans needed to offer discounts for more pro annual accounts

This is not a solution for production websites
Pros:
Simple and flexible design tools. You can use standard blocks for fast prototype or flexible ZeroBlock for custom design without coding.
Cons:
Their support is terrible. I had a problem with my card and they blocked my account without any notifications. 5 my websites was blocked and don't worked during compliance procedure. They did not send me a notification before the account suspending, although nothing prevented they from doing this. Tilda is not a good choice for production websites because they can block it any time.

Hello Rodion, The reason for blocking your account on Tilda was a dispute opened by JSC CB Privat bank over the suspicious transaction that had been done on the card for purchasing Tilda subscription on March. To resolve the dispute with the bank, money was refunded and the account was temporarily suspended for further details. After the appealing to Tilda your account was unlocked and for now on is available and operates in a regular way. We recommend you to contact to Privat Bank and obtain the transaction details. We are ready to assist you and provide all the necessary information. Support team sent a reply to your request within 40 minutes.

Pretty good for beginners
Pros:
I came in a complete novice to web design, but I was able to get a great looking webpage built really quickly. As with anything the more intricate you wanna get on design, the more you have to learn, but it was pretty easy to figure out.
Cons:
The customer service and billing had been an issue at times. Long response time, and multiple tickets created for one question were really annoying.

Thank you for spending the time to give a review. As you noted it is easy to figure out something in Tilda once you are ready to learn. Unfortunately, our customer support is not momentary, it would be impossible to organize instant help with such unexpansive plans. Tilda's knowledge base consists of comprehensive, well-illustrated help articles and the search function http://help.tilda.ws I am ready to help with any question and hope you will update the review.
So Many Features!!
Comments: In the last 7 months, we as a nonprofit organization on a small budget have recreated our entire web presence. We now have multiple brand new websites featuring our various initiatives - we could not be more pleased to have been introduced to Tilda by one of our marketing advisors.
Pros:
Tilda is packed with features, it is simple to use and they have put together a platform that includes the best of everything an organization needs for a phenomenal web presence.
Cons:
Their help desk is sometimes slow to respond. They are exceptionally gracious and helpful when they do, but be patient. It might take a day or two to get a reply from an agent. They do need to improve this area but they say they are working on it. I give them the benefit of the doubt on that.
After trying Weblow, Wix and Squaraspace, we at ELK Academy chose Tilda for our needs
Pros:
We chose Tilda for a good balance between advanced features and the ease of use. It's really simple and intuitive therefore saves us a lot of time. We love their rich visual content, online store works great too.
Cons:
We'd love to see some development of the menu and sliders for videos. We agree that slight improvements could make this platform the absolute market leader

The best website builder for non-designers and designers alike
Comments: Tilda enabled me to offer much higher quality websites for smaller projects and to prototype ideas much faster. It's especially good for early-stage projects, events, presentations and content research.
Pros:
Tilda has probably the most intuitive interface and smallest learning curve of any software I've used. The quality of the templates is great from the start but they are also super customizable. And if you're a webdesigner you can do pretty much anything with it. I will probably never do another website from scratch for early designs or small initiatives.
Cons:
There are still a few small glitches to clean up and maybe need some work on the settings end.
Tilda is so easy but the design is so nice and mobile friendly.
Pros:
You can customize whether certain section show up on mobile or not. I really like how good things look on desktop and mobile, the speed of loading, and the uptime: I don't recall it being down.
Cons:
Some things seem a little harder to do than I think they should be. I'd like to see some more selectable themes, perhaps.

Eric, thank you so much for the public feedback. There is a reason why Tilda has no "traditional themes" ¿ a set of functional and stylistic restrictions which are hard to change without code. With more than 450 responsive blocks for any part of the webpage, Tilda provides best ways and structure of the content presentation but Tilda does not insist on a particular style to limit a user. Within website settings, there is the ability to set global Fonts & Colors, which are an essential part of any branding. To avoid extra work with configured blocks or pages we advise to just copy them and change the content or use alias block to inject the same information in multiple places and change it from one source.
Worst support ever.
Pros:
Quick and easily configurable. Enough modules for a start.
Cons:
Worst support ever, trnsferred my websites to other account with no confirmation. Support responds once every 2 days. Would never recommend their service even for free as you can end up with thousants of dollars for SEO and then someone else gets your website for free with the SEO.

Hello, Victor We apologize for responding only now. We did not pay attention to this site for feedback. Could you specify the login (mail) of the account with which you had problems? You can send it to [email protected]. We will certainly consider the situation in detail and contact you. Best regards, Tilda Team
My go-to for pages that look great and don't take too much time to create.
Pros:
You can't really mess up the design because Tilda won't let you, which means whatever you make will look decent. It has the most intuitive interface among all of the constructors I used. The free trial allows you to try all of the features, create and publish a website with everything you need and then keep it after a trial ends. You can export website and upload them manually to your server. You can create any type of pages with it and again, they will look good.
Cons:
Not the best in terms of SEO. So that needs some manual tweaking, like everywhere else. Still managed to rank all of the websites I created on Tilda.

Easy to use and so powerful tool
Comments: I really in love with Tilda. It's so easy-to-use and at the same time very robust tool.
Pros:
I like how easy it is to make any website. You shouldn't be a designer to create beautiful and visually correct landing. Everything is done for you. But if you wish to make something different just use Zero blocks. What is more, there are a lot of ready-made integrations with CRM, chats and so on — just several clicks and everything works right. I really enjoy that service keep updated and add new features.
Cons:
Support sometimes not so fact but always helpful. And some blocks not so flexible as I wish.
