Ok, I have been evaluating Nicepage for a few days. I like very much the way you can quickly create a website. However I find the workflow to be a bit awkward.

For instance if I am designing a site for a client for a wordpress installation, I generally will set up a test site and upload the theme and content for review, the customer can suggest changes etc. This is using the desktop version.

However if my customer wants to make some changes to the test site using the NicePage plugin, the only way to get the changes to production site is for me to duplicate the changes made with the plugin in the desktop version and then upload to the production site. Or even if the client makes changes to the production site and then wants me to make additional changes I only have the option updating through the plugin. If the site gets hacked or crashes etc, I don't see how I could recover the site, unless I am constantly updating my desktop version to match what is happening on the site which can get to be a pain.

So we really need a way to export the site when changes are made with the plugin. I understand from a marketing aspect of why nicepage currently works as does. However I think a good workaround would be to have an export function through the plugin that will export what is on the test/dev site to a project file, that can then be imported into the desktop version to easily keep things in sync and be able to move what was developed or changed on the test/dev to production through opening project file with the desktop version, then generating new wordpress export and uploading to the production site.
