Zyro Review

Who Should Use Zyro?

Zyro focuses on providing easy-to-use website design tools at a budget price. It has a blog as well as design tips to help novices get started quickly. While Zyro offers limited flexibility for meticulous designers, it’s ideal if you want to create an engaging website or online store without investing lots of time and effort.

Ease of Use

Signing up for Zyro is simple. Just choose your plan, select a template, and start designing your site with the drag-and-drop builder. The only thing to keep in mind is that you can’t change your template later. However, you can modify all your site’s styles, making it easy to customise your website no matter which template you choose.

Zyro’s website builder enables you to quickly add content elements like text boxes, images, videos, galleries, and buttons. You can drag and drop them anywhere onto a premade grid layout and rearrange them at will. The grid layout can be helpful for building quickly because you don’t have to worry about ensuring that everything is aligned.

Overall, Zyro’s designer is great if you’re happy with the platform’s templates and don’t mind giving up a significant amount of design control. However, the fact that you can’t change templates is disappointing, especially given how important your template is in determining the look of your website.

Template Design Options

Zyro offers a growing number of website templates (roughly 150 at the time this review was written) that cover a wide range of activities. These aesthetically pleasing and elegant templates are created by graphic designers and are just a starting point since the templates are fully customisable to suit all your needs. You can modify everything: the structure of the pages, the images, the colours, the text blocks, etc. 

But Zyro's real strength is the artificial intelligence built into the website builder. This AI can help you write your texts and will offer you content based on your activity, which you can then freely edit and adapt.

Creating a site with Zyro is easy and intuitive. The interface is very simple to use, allowing you to quickly create your site and lay out the content without a great amount of technical knowledge. 

Plus, if you don't have a logo yet, you don’t need to search for an expensive designer to do it —Zyro provides a logo maker so you can create your own with just a few clicks. The same is true if your business is currently lacking a slogan. 

How to Use Zyro

Once you select a plan and sign up, you can begin designing your website using Zyro’s built-in artificial intelligence. This specialised technology doesn't just help you write content and create a logo, but it also helps you optimise your site's conversions.

Another handy feature is the AI Heatmap, which allows you to predict visitor behavior and anticipate their reactions. You benefit from advice to make your site both more attractive and more effective (for example, including the placement of your most important messages on your pages).

If you’re running an online store through your website, you can then begin uploading your products, choosing your payment methods, and filling all other necessary details to get your business up and running.

Features

Hosting

All Zyro plans include hosting, unlimited storage, unlimited bandwidth, and a promise of 99.9% uptime.

Branding Tools

Zyro includes an AI-enabled business name generator that can help you come up with a brand name for any new online business. Just enter keywords that describe your business to get suggestions.

In addition, Zyro has a logo maker that can save you from paying for a graphic designer. You can choose to create a logo yourself with a suite of simple drawing tools or alternatively, use Zyro’s AI logo generator. The AI will suggest starter logos based on your business category, which you’re free to customise.

AI Design Tools

Zyro can also help you build your website content. You can use the built-in AI to automatically write product descriptions or even your about page. Just choose from any of 12 topics, select the type of content that you’re looking for, and Zyro will instantly offer several options for copy.

Drag and Drop Editor

Choose from an array of easy-to-use premade templates and customise it to suit your style—no coding required. The grid-based layout means you’ll be able to move elements around without worrying whether they remain aligned (and pleasant for users to look at). 

Mobile Responsiveness

All websites created with Zyro are perfectly responsive. That is to say, they automatically adapt to the device on which they are consulted. So, whether your visitor uses a smartphone, a tablet or a computer, the rendering of your site will be optimal.

Safety and Support

Get 24/7 customer support from real people via email, or use the extensive Zyro knowledge base to find the answers you seek. Plus, with SSL security, HTTPS encryption, and transaction protection protocol, you can maintain peace of mind while running your website with Zyro.

Other unique and useful features include:

• Design adapted to the theme of your site
• Customisable and assisted creation at every step
• AI heatmap
• Conversion optimization with artificial intelligence
• Integrations with Google, Facebook, Pinterest, Snapchat, Hotjar, and more

Ecommerce

Zyro is excellent for selling products online. You can add an unlimited number of images to any product, write custom descriptions, add SKUs, and create multiple versions or sizes. You can’t add product videos, but you can embed links and attach downloadable files, like user manuals.

One thing that’s nice about Zyro for e-commerce is that you can suggest related products. The platform also supports discount coupons and gift cards with all e-commerce plans.

Online stores can be integrated with Facebook, Instagram, Amazon, eBay, and Google Shopping. You’re free to choose from more than 50 payment processors, including PayPal, iDeal, and Yandex Kassa.

Blogging

While there’s no built-in email marketing suite or newsletter builder, you can set up a blog and add social media buttons to it (and throughout your site). You can share new blog posts to your social media accounts manually and schedule blog posts, too.

On a more positive note, all Zyro websites are designed to be mobile responsive and fast to load. You can add SEO titles and descriptions to all your pages, as well as add alt text to images. 

Mobile

As mentioned, every website built with Zyro is automatically optimised for mobile users. There’s no extra work to be done here, which helps cut down on production time and lets you focus your efforts on strengthening your brand, online business, or any other aspect of your website.
