We’ve addressed several critical issues to improve your experience with Stunning. Here’s a quick overview of what’s been fixed:

1. New User Confusion and Trial Activation: Newly registered users were facing confusion due to incorrect messaging, and the trial activation process was unclear. This has been fixed to ensure a smooth onboarding experience.

2. Website Builder Redirects: Users tapping the "Buy Now" button were incorrectly redirected to the switch workshop page in preview mode. The issue has been resolved by defaulting the website to edit mode first.

3. Billing Page Confusion: Both non-premium and premium users encountered outdated information on the billing page, with incorrect labels like ‘Upgrade’ instead of ‘Downgrade.’ This has now been corrected, and buttons on the billing screen are grammatically accurate.

4. UI Overlap on Billing Screen: An issue with the username and country icon overlapping with plan details during scrolling has been fixed.

5. Missing Options on Site Editor: The ‘Theme,’ ‘Analytics,’ and ‘Settings’ options weren’t visible on first visits to the site editor. This has been resolved by ensuring the website opens in edit mode by default.

6. AI Marketing Dropdown Confusion: Users were confused by missing options in the AI Marketing dropdown. We’ve clarified messaging to indicate that a website must be created first for the dropdown to populate.

7. Gray Line on Screens: A strange gray line appearing on multiple screens has been removed.

8. Deal Button Redirect Without Login: Users who clicked the "Yes, I want this deal!" button were redirected to the payment page without logging in. This behavior has been fixed to ensure proper login before proceeding.

9. Email Verification Issues: Multiple issues with email verification were causing confusion, including users receiving two emails, and being unable to log in after clicking 'Verify Now.' These have been resolved for a smoother sign-up process.

10. Plan Upgrade/Downgrade Issues: Users trying to upgrade or downgrade plans were facing incorrect labels and pricing mismatches. These have been corrected, and validation is now in place for switching plans.

11. Stripe Redirection and AI Genie Fixes: Redirection issues with Stripe and placeholders in AI Genie, AI Logo, and AI Marketing have been fixed.

12. Miscellaneous Fixes:

- Teams section improvements.

- Hero image blur issue resolved.

- Fixes for Blog4 and Contact6 sections.

- Proper button behavior in editor preview mode.

- Corrected pop-up behavior when clicking the 'Yes, I want a deal!' button multiple times.

We’re committed to continuously enhancing your experience with Stunning. Thank you for your patience and feedback.

We’re excited to share some incredible updates with you!

We have finished our core design and already 90% implemented! Watch the video below:

Over the next 8 weeks, we’re rolling out significant improvements to our website sectiuons. By the end of this period, you’ll see 6 new full leading pages, each featuring 8 unique sections—totaling 48 brand-new sections!

After analyzing over 11,000 submissions on Stunning, we found that ecommerce websites are the second most popular use case. To better serve this demand, we’re integrating Zeew.eu’s advanced ecommerce technology as an optional add-on for Stunning users. This will allow seamless integration with features like store delivery, mobile apps, order tracking, loyalty programs, and over 500 other features.

As the founder of both Stunning and Zeew, I’m excited to announce that we’re positioning Stunning to not only help agencies build websites with ease but also to create powerful ecommerce platforms using the Zeew engine as a backend. Additionally, we’re enhancing our AI Marketing and AI Genie tools to be smarter and study your website/business and come up with ideas and execute them as an AI Agent on the autopilot, and we’ll reveal these updates soon.

We’ve planned a 5-month development sprint, and we’ll be presenting a detailed pitch to the community soon.

We’ve also received interest from users wanting to invest in Stunning, so we’re launching a public community funding round soon. This is your chance to own a piece of Stunning! Check out how Mercury raised $5M through community involvement—it’s a great example.

As we continue to grow, we’re focused on bringing our community together. With already over 140,000 users, we’re working on better ways to engage everyone, as only a small portion have joined us on Slack.

If you’re interested in our upcoming funding round, please fill out this form. We’re gathering internal interest before opening it to the public. Link
