Strikingly is an online website builder that came out of Y Combinator in 2012. It builds mobile-first sites, most of them on a single scrolling page, and is aimed at people who want a personal site, a portfolio or a launch page without writing code or hiring a designer. Its funding round was backed by investors including SV Angel, Index Ventures and FundersClub, according to the press it features.

The company says its builder needs "zero code or design skills": a user picks a template, edits it by clicking on the page and publishes, a process it says can take about 30 minutes. It describes itself as trusted by millions of entrepreneurs and creatives, runs its interface in more than twenty languages and offers support around the clock by email and live chat.

## What it does

- **Click-to-edit editor** working directly on the page, from a library of templates.
- **Mobile-optimised sites**, mostly single-page, with multi-page sites on paid plans.
- **Simple Store** for selling online, with PayPal and Stripe payments.
- **Blog** with individual post pages.
- **Sign-up and contact forms**, and social feeds from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
- **Built-in analytics** dashboard.
- **HTTPS** included by default, and password protection for pages.
- **Managed cloud hosting** included with every site.
- **Domain registration** and custom email as add-ons.
- **Mobile app** for editing on the go.

## How it works

1. Pick a template from the gallery.
2. Edit text, images and sections by clicking on them.
3. Publish on a free Strikingly address, or on a custom domain from a paid plan.

A paid plan can be cancelled at any time, and the site then goes back to the free tier with no further charge, according to the pricing page.
