What is Strikingly?

Strikingly is the most loved website and e-commerce builder by entrepreneurs. We’ve launched 12+ million websites & online stores — and counting!

Strikingly’s mission is to be the CTO for every entrepreneur. We were born in Silicon Valley, backed by Y Combinator & investors of Google and Facebook. We’ve been featured on Forbes, New York Times, USA Today, and many more media outlets. Strikingly is known for two things: being ridiculously easy to use and having the best customer support. Building a website or storefront with Strikingly is as easy as making a slideshow.

 

Why build a website or eCommerce store now?

Three words: Join. The. Revolution. 

  1. Your buyers are online. There are 2.14 billion digital buyers, and e-commerce sales are expected to account for 18.1% of retail sales worldwide. They’re online, and you should be too.

  2. COVID changed how businesses are done. The pandemic triggered the digital and e-commerce turning point, and everyone went online. It’s time to go all in and go online. 

  3. Technology is no longer the bogeyman. The no-code movement made technology less intimidating and more friendly. Your competitors are only online, and you don’t want to miss out. FOMO is real.

  4. Last but not least, every entrepreneur, business, or even side project has a site or app these days. If you don't, it's hard to convince your audience or even your partners that you're legit. 

Now is the best time to start your business online. Launch your website or store in no time with Strikingly, and get your first customer today!

Simple Prices. Serious Value.

Strikingly offers very competitive pricing for each stage of your business. 

Most Popular Plan: Pro Yearly

Our Pro Yearly plan with three (3) Pro sites is definitely one of the most attractive pricing options in the entire market. You can launch a powerful e-commerce store, add paid membership, enjoy unlimited bandwidth, get a free domain, and more, for just $16/month. This is the price most providers charge for publishing just one (1) website. With Strikingly, you get to publish three (3)! Our Pro Yearly plan is easily one of the best pricing options in the market, and it's the most popular choice for our users. Default to this option, and you can't go wrong.

Other Pricing Options: 

  • If you need more powerful features like multiple membership tiers, multi-language sites, or priority support, we have a VIP Plan for serious merchants. It's like our Pro Plan but on steroids.  
  • Or if you have a limited budget and can't get the Pro, you can choose our Limited Plan. For the price of two coffee, you can publish two .com websites. 

For anyone who has searched the market for a solution, it should be clear that our pricing is very competitive. Check out our pricing page. We want to make it a no-brainer for anyone to choose Strikingly.

Basically, our name is our promise: "Strikingly is actually striking". This quote from our user says it all.
