Export Strikingly Alternatives to HTML

Strikingly nailed single-page websites. Smooth scrolling, clean sections, mobile-responsive out of the box. For landing pages and portfolios, it just works.

So why look elsewhere? Usually it's one of three things. You need more than one page. You need features Strikingly doesn't have. Or you're tired of paying $16-49 per month for what's essentially a fancy webpage.

Let's run through the options.

Carrd is the closest match. One-page sites, simple editor, super affordable. Their free tier is genuinely usable. Paid plans start at $19 per year, not month, year. If you just need a simple landing page, Carrd is hard to beat.

Wix is the "more features" answer. Multiple pages, real ecommerce, apps for everything. Way more complex than Strikingly but way more capable too. Pricing starts around $17/month.

Squarespace is the design-forward choice. Their templates are consistently beautiful. If you're a photographer, designer, or creative professional, Squarespace makes your work look good. $16-52 per month.

Webflow lets you build anything. Seriously, anything. It's a visual code editor, powerful but with a real learning curve. Great for people who want total control, overkill for a simple landing page.

WordPress.com has a one-page option buried in there somewhere, but honestly? It's overcomplicated for this use case. WordPress is a blogging platform that grew into a website builder. Shows its age.

Then there's the static option. Export your site to HTML, host it for free on Netlify or GitHub Pages. You lose the visual editor but you also lose the monthly fees. Forever.

The static route makes espcially good sense for sites that rarely change. Built a landing page for your freelance business? Export it. Update it once a year in a text editor. Pay nothing for hosting.

Before switching anywhere, export your Strikingly site. Keep that backup. You never know when you'll need it, and you can't get it after you cancel.

The best alternative depends on why you're leaving. Need more pages? Wix or Squarespace. Want cheaper? Carrd or static. Want prettier? Squarespace. Want free? Static HTML on GitHub Pages.
