• I decided to move away from this plugin and have a custom theme developed because I no longer had confidence in the support experience.

    My biggest concern was the quality of technical support. I took the time to clearly explain the troubleshooting steps I had already completed, but the responses often repeated the same basic suggestions instead of addressing the actual issue. That made it difficult to resolve problems efficiently and left me feeling that my concerns weren’t being fully reviewed.

    I use this plugin to help run my business, so reliability and timely support are essential. If a plugin causes downtime or unexpected issues, it can result in lost customers and harm a business’s reputation. Because I couldn’t rely on getting the level of support I needed, I ultimately chose a custom solution that gives me greater confidence.

    The plugin may work well for some users, but based on my experience, the support fell short of what I expect from a paid product.

    Hi,

    I’m sorry to hear that you decided to move away from Page Builder, but I’d like to add some context for anyone reading this review.

    The support thread referred to here was opened on Sunday evening, 21 June, and we replied on Tuesday morning, approximately 33 hours later. Our reply asked for a different troubleshooting test from the one already performed: whether the issue persisted with all other plugins disabled while Page Builder and the Widgets Bundle remained active. That helps distinguish an issue within our plugins from a third-party plugin conflict.

    We didn’t receive a response to that troubleshooting question and followed up again on 7 August.

    Page Builder and the Widgets Bundle are free plugins, and our community forum is also a free support channel. When opening a thread, we state clearly that replies aren’t guaranteed and can take several days. In this case, the response to a Sunday evening post was close to the response time we aim to provide through our paid Premium support channel. For users who require consistently fast, reliable support for a business-critical site, SiteOrigin Premium provides direct priority email support.

    We don’t offer telephone support at any tier.

    If you are a SiteOrigin Premium customer and had difficulty accessing Premium email support, please contact us through the support address on our Contact page so we can investigate.

    We’re sorry Page Builder was no longer the right fit for your site and wish you well with the new solution.

    Andrew
    SiteOrigin
