Precision Impact review for Zipify Landing Page Builder
Aug. 21, 2017
See TL;DR at bottom: I am a fan of Ezra and his Smartmarketer brand, so when he introduced it to us, I wanted to try it right away. I had never used a drag and drop WYSIWYG editor for Shopify, so when I first tried it, I thought it was amazing. It was sooooo much easier to use than the built-in Shopify editor. One of the best features is that Ezra gives you the templates he uses for his own websites so you get to see first hand what a highly converting landing page looks like. I highly recommend getting at least 1 month membership just to see these. Months later, I ran across a different editor by accident called Shogun. I decided to try it out and was blown away by how much easier it is to use. After using it, I understood two of the big disadvantages of Zipify: Zipfiy's blocks are fixed. Shogun's blocks are dynamic. If you want to make a table with 3 columns with an image/text/image: In Zipify, that would be a pre-defined block that Zipify would have to build for you. If they don't have that particular block, then you you're kind of out of luck. In Shogun, you would just insert a 3 column table, then insert an image block, text block, and image block. Basically, Shogun gives you the raw building blocks, allowing you to be EXTREMELY flexible in what you can build. Zipify gives you pre-assembled blocks, which are inflexible for building. In Zipify, you cannot insert blocks within blocks. In Shogun, you CAN insert blocks within blocks. Zipify had some essential blocks that Shogun didn't have, like the countdown timer and 'add to cart' buttons. But then I made a request to Shogun and they added these features right away. TL;DR: My recommendation is to get a month of Zipify to see their amazing templates and get a sense of what a winning landing page's flow looks like. Then use Shogun to build it faster,easier and cheaper.
