Major Upgrade to Website/Funnel Builder to be on the same level as Elementor

in progress

Simon Bakker

As a web developer making websites from scratch and also with years of working with Elementor, I find the current website builder in GHL to be very buggy and it has a limited amount of elements.

Right now when I make a headline a specific font-weight, it just doesn't work. Also sometimes, the text font-weight differs from what is shown on the actual live page when I save + publish it.

As Funnels is pretty much one of the most important selling points of GHL, it really needs a massive overhaul to have:

The ability to change color of certain parts of a headline, other than the limited options right now
More elements (badges, tables, features)
Custom styling on literally every element, as is possible in Elementor
Saving elements/sections as templates to use in future work
Font-weight settings on headlines that actually WORK

Agree, it is very limited and not easy. I would appreciate if the layout was more easy to modify

Hey Clients Team

Would love an update on this. Seems to be a lot of similar feature requests around making the builder better, if that be the things mentioned here, ai, photo gallery elements etc. 
Currently its still a bit clunky/old school. 
Elementor, Kajabi, showit, etc are doing great here. GHL still blows past them with everything else but leveling up the builder will be huge. Thanks team 🙏

So far I love how far HL has come with their builder but let's be honest is nowhere close to how Elementor is. I was shocked and curious as to why this was marked complete. The builder is still slightly choppy, has no proper Global styling (setting up font styles based on H1-H6 tags, body text, etc.), limited widgets, Ecom store customizability as far as the builder goes is limited and clunky, no custom fonts available, no text animations, the list goes on. 
We need this ticket to be a home run from the last ticket that is marked complete. To be frank, I was honestly hoping for a complete overhaul of the funnel/website builder, not minor UI updates which are still cool.
Hopefully, you guys will go back to the drawing board and redo this one again please, I and many other agency owners would gladly drop Wordpress, Wix, Squarespace, Duda etc. if this happened, funnel builders like myself are desperate for this update.
Even with new site speed updates you guys have pushed, no matter what I do, our current white label outperforms GHL sites in every test we did, every image is compressed, we don't use heavy code on our site builds, fonts are Google fonts so it's accessible, mobile optimized, images have defined widths and heights and nothing, GHL still struggles to pull through.
Keep in mind our test subjects are identical sites we have already built out from what we already have on our current white label solution. So nothing is different. We replicated our test sites not missing any details, and the results from GHL's end are sadly disappointing on both GTmetrix and on Pagespeed.
You got this HL, we believe in you!

May... what happened? THIS IS ONE OF THE MAIN POINTS!! Please UPDATE THE FKN PAGE BUILDER from 2016 > 2024 ! Framer, Elementor, Divi AI Level.
wtf is going on? The Page Building Process with ghl and the Workflow Building Process are the longest to build, its a waste of time... when we could do things, zap in a few clicks with ai! Spending and click and click and click and click... wow... no one has time for that stupid slow processes anymore.
What is the ghl ceo, productmanager and team are waiting for?
Oh probably for another subscription month :D

Thomas Stippel Agree. An important part of the CRM that needs a big improvement.

Honestly, I would just love a drag and drop WYSIWYG editor a la Wix. I know everyone "hates" Wix, but the average sub-account user needs SIMPLICITY. We also need built-in photo editing tools (i.e. Cropping, masks, sharpening, color grading, etc.), basic shapes (lines, circles), etc.

Right now, I have to use Canva for every single tweak I need to make to a photo. This is A LOT for most users.

You should be able to add stroke to text and gradient to text and background

And another bug of mine is when we use our Adobe Fonts through CSS they look great on desktop but don’t get pulled through on mobile.

Section templates would be nice. I find that I don't need to reinvent the wheel to make a good website, just have some quick options that I can use to get started.
