Danger Snacks review for Shogun ‑ Landing Page Builder

Nov. 10, 2018

Shogun is amazing. I use it for landing pages created within my Shopify store domain to drive conversions into a sales funnel. I'm in the process of redesigning my product pages to take advantage of the flexibility Shogun offers to tell better product stories. More compelling pages mean more conversions. I'm a UI designer and I've worked with many builders, frameworks and style guides all of my career, I even designed my own page builder at one point and I must say that this page builder is amongst the best I've ever used. It’s pretty intuitive to learn, although as with any new tool, the more you use it, to solve a specific design opportunity within your store, the more comfortable you’ll get using it. Building out different pages for select sections of my site, targeting various segments of my market was just the practice I needed to become a Shogun Master! I particularly like the granular level of control Shogun gives you for each object and the visual guidance it provides along the way. It's very cool how you can adjust padding and margin to each nested item within a block, which I use often, especially when making revisions and fine-tuning the spacing between responsive web and mobile views. It's also pretty awesome that Shogun comes with built-in version control. I also like the fact that if I install the app, and inadvertently delete it or need to reinstall it for a particular reason, my pages remain safe. If I had one request, it would be the ability to create modals (popup windows containing additional details for folks who want to learn more) with the same level of design customization within. That would be way cool. This is how the Shopify builder should work! Especially when it comes to the ability to make compelling product pages.
