Sheetany

Sheetany has resuscitated my website work, making it fun again!

After eight years on WordPress, I went looking for alternatives a few years ago and tried Webflow, but, for blogging, it was atrocious. I went back to WordPress and embraced Elementor. But an Elementor update broke design across numerous websites, and I became exhausted with WordPress updates and fixes across numerous websites. My goal was to pump out tons of content, but I got mired in development and design. You don't rank for this stuff unless design is way behind the times and not responsive; you rank for content.

I stumbled on Sheetany, a Google Sheets-powered platform, in February. I bought a tier 3 license on DealMirror and then went all in on the Agency Pro plan. I'll be able to build out an unlimited number of websites with custom domain names. Very quickly, I saw potential in the ability to put up content very easily on this platform without my having to get bogged down on development and design.

Sheetany comes with 20 good-looking templates right now, and they include a range, from blogs to video showcases to data tables to book lists and e-commerce stores. In just a few minutes, you can launch a website and connect it to a custom domain.

Once I saw how easy it all was, I bought 10 domain names and am getting to work on creating content that I can rapidly publish. You can manage content entirely by a Sheet or a mixture of Sheet and Google Docs using Sheetany. I actually requested the ability to include blog post content directly in Sheet cells, and the team implemented this feature in one day! This gives me tremendous ability to not only input and publish content quickly but to find and replace text across hundreds or thousands of blog posts in a snap as opposed to having to manage all these individual documents.

Did I mention page performance and speed? Pingdom is scoring pages in the low 90s, with load times coming in at less than a second (182 to 750 milliseconds) in the United States. (As the company grows, I expect load times to improve across the world via CDNs.)

If you're familiar with the WP Sheet Editor plugin for WordPress, you can copy and paste content from your WordPress blog to Sheetany pretty quickly.

Sheetany is still young and needs some more essential functionality and features. The roadmap is active, however, and the team is responsive. I believe this platform is going to be very well built out in the next year. I looked at a competitor that's been around longer, and page loading speed for one of its templates was absolutely abysmal. It was truly a night-and-day difference compared with Sheetany.

If you want to get up lots of content quickly and not fiddle with all the other things that take your eye off the ball, Sheetany might be a good option for you to consider. You can input JavaScript and CSS code to make some modifications. A lot of people are falling in love with the no-code website movement, and many offerings feature just a blog. If people only knew that they could do so much more with Sheetany because its vision is much more expansive, creating flexibility for all kinds of website publishers, they'd go bonkers.
