Google Web Designer For Your Website

5.0 last year

Comments: First of all, after a simple and easy installation, you start using it quickly. The screen structure has been designed and prepared with the users in mind. Nothing unnecessary is added to the screen. It makes the best use of time and resources and outputs it to the user. The results are 100% compatible with your website.

Pros:

Whether you are a website designer or not, it is perhaps the best solution for problems experienced in content production sometimes. It is an interface that makes the production of HTML5 coded content quickly and easily for you. It is ready to use after a quick installation with its easy and simple, user-friendly interface, familiar window structure and menus. You can start using it quickly with the content, add-ons and tools it offers. The free installation and making it more attractive to use has not lost its professionalism.

Cons:

It is not possible to find a negative or problematic structure of the program. Especially if you are not a user who is not active in this sector, it definitely offers great results for you. Just give it time and see the results.

Your best personal designer

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: With the use of this application you can now create content for different screen sizes and thus customize the ads according to your needs. It allows you to customize your projects to such an extent that events will be activated according to the preference of the netizen or at a certain moment. Create or modify video and audio clip now in a direct and flexible way. It is free, accessible to all those content creators who are in need of a comprehensive program for their designs.

Pros:

This web application will allow you to design, compile advertisements, images, videos and web content through code and visual interface. Now you can create content with drawing tools, text and even 3D objects at the same time you can animate all this on a timeline. You will also be able to create XML, CSS and JavaScript files using autocomplete to minimize errors. Galleries of images, maps and other effects can be added to websites and advertisements.

Cons:

An HTML file cannot be accessed if it is created by a tool or application other than Google Web Designer, as it does not recognize files other than its own. If you are looking to stand out in a web advertisement or otherwise, you must have knowledge of source code and programs in general to operate this application correctly.

Great software for HTML banners and ads

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: I used this for ads and banner campaigns and it was a great solution and alternative to creating embedded GIFs which are not idea for large campaigns and optimisation.

Pros:

GoogleWebDesigner is a great option for digital design, particularly HTML5 banners to be used in display campaigns). Very easy to set up and start working. No knowledge of HTML or javascript is needed. Creating animation is fairly easy and similar to other tools like Adobe After Effects in it's use of timelines and milestones.

Cons:

Never used the software to create websites, and can see this being very difficult and having issues with responsive nature. Exporting from Google Web Designer can be a bit of an issue - with limited capabilities for exporting meaning that it's difficult to get clients to proof work due to files only exporting as HTML variants, and no option for .mov, gif or .mp4. This caused a lot of time bloat in having to manually record them after the fact. Would also benefit from being able to create 'templates' easier.

HTML5 banners for display campaigns

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: I use it to generate animated HTML5 banners for display campaigns across the web. Just great!

Pros:

It's the easiest and most complete tool to design HTML5 banners to be used in display campaigns (both on Google network and on other publishers). The installation/onboarding takes a very few minutes, everything is very intuitive. The UX is different from other Google products... and this is good! No need of HTML or javascript knowledge (though knowing them helps in getting better, ad-hoc results).

Cons:

I never really used it to create web sites (or simple HTML pages). From what I see, it's probably not the best tool around for such a task, even though it has a lot of features that cover most of the basic needs.

Super Easy

5.0 3 years ago

Pros:

I am not a professional, just a Data Scientist. However I made a profession help site very easily.

Cons:

If I wanted to make something more complicated, I think that was difficult to get to. But adding HTML or Java in windows was super easy to do if it was available in the template.
