Shogun ‑ Landing Page Builder

I truly love using Shogun. Been using their page builder app since 2016. Combine it with an OS 2.0 theme, the possibilities are endless! I haven't reached out to their support all those years until recently and I'm amazed! I thought it would take them days to respond via email but it took them just 10 minutes to resolve my problem. Thanks, Monique and the entire Shogun team. -Jose

The customer support was very personable and helpful...I like when I can tell I'm definitely talking to a person. I think for what I was trying to accomplish with this app, it may be more complicated than what I need... but I'm excited to try it on other pages where I'd like more design elements than the standard Shopify page. So I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks for your help!

Still fairly new to Shogun but so far it's been a fantastic tool. Easy to use for someone with no coding knowledge with lots of great templates, also has the ability to add html to give extra flexibility. Would be great if it had Emarsys integration for forms, exporting every entry in a single csv is a bit clunky and we do struggle as a team with the limited logins but otherwise really pleased with it.

Die App an sich ist ein sehr gutes Konzept. Es treten jedoch manchmal Probleme auf. Nachdem man Seiten speichert, werden diese nicht wie behauptet als "reiner html code" gespeichert, sondern der code bleibt dauerhaft vom Shogun Server abhängig, weshalb er nach Löschen der Shogun App 'kaputt' gehen kann. Um ihn zu Reparieren wäre dann wieder ein Abo bei Shogun nötig. Deshalb Seiten nach der Shogun Deinstallation lieber nicht mehr bearbeiten, da diese sonst möglicherweise verloren gehen!

We're using Shogun pretty extensively across our site (www.hilogummies.com) at this point. It's allowed us to to really customize our web experience without having to hire on a traditional web developer. As a growing startup, this is huge.

The biggest gain has been the Product Page builder. We've almost completely customized our UX on that page using Shogun.

You need to put in the time to really get the most out of it, but Shogun is a very powerful, page building tool that lets small companies act bigger than they are.

I use this app to design every page other than our home page. The shopify theme we chose has great homepage customisation but not for the other pages. Without Shogun the information pages wouldn't be as powerful. The drag and drop facility is easy, you just need to make sure you plan the layouts and think through how to build them. We've done some further customisation/styling to the shogun pages but if we have any issue our first call is to the team, who are always willing to help and fix issues rapidly. Their support is invaluable.

This app is AMAZING! Totally love it! I actually chose to use Shopify because they have the Shogun plugin to build pages easily and quickly. The interface for this app is easy and fast to use, no coding required. It has a lot of options and it builds responsive code that looks nice on desktop and mobile screens. Customer support is so fast, they reply within one hour usually with all of the answers to your questions. New features are being added all the time, it's such an exciting thing to be able to build a custom site/store without any knowledge of coding, HTML, CSS. And with the Shopify platform to back it up, you've got a top notch solution. Price is really reasonable, I gladly pay it because this app is so worth it!

Second update, I have bumped it back up to 5 because I know how much reviews mean. They addressed the issues and all is well. I still warn to be careful with any coding with their app, make sure you follow things correctly otherwise youll be in a huge mess

Update: Still experiencing major issues with yotpo reviews populating on my pages. This has been nothing but a waste of time and money to try and resolve and shogun isn't helping.

Do NOT use shogun for a product landing page on your theme

Tough rating because I like everything you can do with building pages although its very time consuming to make adjustments for each display option.

I've also had a major issue with reviews not populating and have had to pay a developer a good amount of money to try and resolve a coding issue for reviews to populate on shogun pages. It's honestly been nothing but a pain and wasted time and money. I hope to update my review once they resolve this.

Used to love this app so much and ive definitely learned a lot but overall it feels very clunky, the design side of things is restrictive at times and you often come across errors/bugs/glitches - the support team are super helpful and reply quickly but the app itself is not as seamless as it used to be/feel.

I have 3 different stores using Shogun, all were built with Shogun originally but i've recently decided to come away from the app as a full time tool and use it now just for sections and the occasional landing page. I think the thing that pushed me over the edge to do this was the introduction of product templates but only to those on advanced plans. None of my stores need ad advanced plan, so this felt like a bit of a slap in the face to us who have been paying for years waiting for such feature to arrive, only for it to be locked behind an upgrade paywall. I did reach out to the support team about this but they didn't help this time.

Hopefully you guys will listen to this feedback and improve an already-great app.

Thanks!

Shogun is amazing.

I use it for landing pages created within my Shopify store domain to drive conversions into a sales funnel. I'm in the process of redesigning my product pages to take advantage of the flexibility Shogun offers to tell better product stories. More compelling pages mean more conversions.

I'm a UI designer and I've worked with many builders, frameworks and style guides all of my career, I even designed my own page builder at one point and I must say that this page builder is amongst the best I've ever used.

It’s pretty intuitive to learn, although as with any new tool, the more you use it, to solve a specific design opportunity within your store, the more comfortable you’ll get using it. Building out different pages for select sections of my site, targeting various segments of my market was just the practice I needed to become a Shogun Master!

I particularly like the granular level of control Shogun gives you for each object and the visual guidance it provides along the way. It's very cool how you can adjust padding and margin to each nested item within a block, which I use often, especially when making revisions and fine-tuning the spacing between responsive web and mobile views.

It's also pretty awesome that Shogun comes with built-in version control. I also like the fact that if I install the app, and inadvertently delete it or need to reinstall it for a particular reason, my pages remain safe.

If I had one request, it would be the ability to create modals (popup windows containing additional details for folks who want to learn more) with the same level of design customization within. That would be way cool.

This is how the Shopify builder should work! Especially when it comes to the ability to make compelling product pages.
