Grid.studio (beta) - Build progressive websites with simple drag'n'drop 🚀

by•

Website builder reimagined from the ground up! Develop and design at the same time, while adding content by simply dragging in your files. Kind of like a hybrid of Webflow, Squarespace and Google Docs.

cool
this seems like a straight up ripoff of Universe, down to the tagline

Hi John. Someone else mentioned this on Twitter as well. Have you tried the tool yet? 😉 Both solutions seems to be grid-based, but that's pretty much the only thing they have in common.
That’s is what I am after! Excellent
Where are the docs?
Maker
Hi Robert, this is SaaS so you don't have to worry about docs! ;)
Hey guys, will you be adding a way to export code to this? That's a big advantage of Webflow at the moment (and they recently added CSS grid, making their builder similar to yours). I understand Grid Studio build PWA, not static sites (pretty cool!) but still, for someone who wants a static site but like the ease of use of your product, the price is prohibitive.
Maker
Hi Anna, thanks for your feedback (also during the beta)! As mentioned in the reply to you'll have to compare to Webflow's 'Business Hosting'. We might offer a 'light' version later, and expect to offer export for our pro-version. Considering you get premium hosting and a built-in crossplatform app we think it's quite fair - but for small static sites you're currently right.
yes of course, I'm only referring to those times when someone does not need premium hosting, small projects :) in Webflow, you can design the site for free for as long as you want, and then subscribe for one month in order be able to export the code. So for 20 Euro you can take your time to design the site, and only pay once you wanna export.
Maker
I totally agree. 20€ for a quick export makes sense, for small static sites. But hosting dynamic PWAs sets certain requirements for the server, so it's simply to ensure the best performance and delivery that we do not offer export yet. Furthermore all images are tailored to the individual devices, meaning we would have to generate infinite images or decide on generic sizes resulting in overhead. Would love your input for the upcoming pro-version, as I think it will be a better fit for you. 😊
Yes, I understand, in that case your pricing makes sense, again, I'm only talking about those small projects! :D
Any plans to expand the functionality for multiple pages or to allow different tabs?
Maker
Hi Sejal, you can already create multiple pages! :) Give it a spin, and let me know if you have any other questions.
I’m trying to figure it out
Maker
Cool, let me know if you need help 😄
Very nice. I am impressed it works on ipad! what are the plans for dynamic CMS, ecommerce, user login type stuff? Thanks
Maker
iPad support is still experimental 😄 but thanks! The plan is to connect with various sources such as Google Sheets, Airtable and Stripe, to simply pull your existing data and show it to the world. Kind of like a public view-layer of your business. 😉
Might want to check for the Google Sheet import -> mobile app, to research what they did well.
Hey Stefan, nice product you've got. One question, do you have some kind of API in which one could build own components for the editor? I also wrote to your support chat :)
Maker
Hi Ismail :) Thanks! Yes, custom blocks are launching very soon! Send me an email at if you would like beta-access. ;)
Done :)

Wait for improvements

Pros:

Very good Initiative and thinking about the future

Cons:

Problems saving changes, Preview mode doesn't work well.
