Ask a Question

Why not add the option for file management when making sites in NicePage so we can design a local website for managing the files and folders and all software and apps on your computer you could host files on a website you design with themes and menu music (if you want music) you could use a symbolic link or something like one to allow any size and type of file to be opened in the website through clicking an image or a video to open the file or software or application so the site effectively becomes a file manager that opens files and software and apps from windows file explorer and windows desktop shortcuts and so on, you could maybe also link indexing and or the windows file manager search function as a website search button or magnifier icon into the site menu as well so you can search through the site which in turn searches through the files on windows, how cool that would be to be able to make book shelves for games/music/photos/books/applications and sofware and then host it on a website locally it would be invaluable to businesses who pay extortionate rates to buy and or use far more costly low cost looking and bland file manager UI's (user interfaces) for serving an office's files, instead you could have everything built into web site pages on your own personal site on your own home or office computer with a beautifull cover image art based arrangement that would put windows explorer and any other file manager software to shame. You just open everything by clicking an image or video that acts as a thumbnail for files you have on your computer wicked that would be a top selling feature to have as well allowing the NicePage builders full scope of features to run on top of windows explorer maybe mac finder and linux file managers as well.

Hello CHRIS,

Thank you for your imaginative and detailed suggestion for enhancing Nicepage with a file management system that integrates with local computer files and software.
Your idea of transforming Nicepage into a comprehensive file management system with beautiful visual themes and intuitive navigation is indeed creative and innovative. We appreciate how you’ve envisioned integrating local file management with a web design platform, which could provide a visually appealing and user-friendly interface for managing files, software, and applications.

Nicepage is primarily designed to help users create visually appealing websites with ease. Our focus is on providing powerful web design tools that enable users to build professional websites without extensive coding knowledge. Integrating a file management system with capabilities like symbolic links, indexing, and local file execution falls outside the scope of our current mission and the technical architecture of Nicepage.

Thank you again for your thoughtful suggestion and for being an engaged member of the Nicepage community.

Here's a less technical feature idea then the opposite of technical, why not allow for converting your site to text based website format, for that you will have to start making a lot more custom fonts to use for it to have any difference between one sites text and another otherwise they'd all look similar as they'd have the same writing format, but yeah font based websites would be good.

Also allow your current web sites already built to have the embedded hyperlinks available to you as a list so that you can copy and paste those hyperlinks into a text editor outside of nicepage and save them on your computer before you begin to convert the site to text format, just incase of any mistakes. Also this would ease workflow making a text only site as you just sift through links copy paste into a notepad create a new site with a text based orientation then copy paste the text from your original site into a new one, this could also assist you in making combos of different sites contents into one text site.

Also allow for both a text based conversion and the authentic already built site so you don't modify the original irreparably if you try to convert it to text.

Hello CHRIS,

Thank you for your suggestions.

  1. Text-Based Website Conversion
    Most web builders, including Nicepage, focus on visual design and don't have a built-in "convert to text-based" feature. However, this can be done manually by simplifying the layout and using minimal CSS to create a text-heavy, low-graphic site. Web builders like WordPress can use themes or plugins designed for a minimalist, text-based look (e.g., Typology).
    Nicepage includes font customization features and you could create a minimal, text-heavy theme by stripping unnecessary design elements and using CSS to emphasize typography.

  2. Exporting Hyperlinks as a List
    This feature is not common in any other builders. However, you can manually extract hyperlinks from HTML code or use browser developer tools to gather links from a webpage.
    Workaround: You can manually access your site’s source code or sitemap to extract links. T

  3. Maintaining Both Text and Original Versions
    Most platforms don’t have an automatic switch between text-based and original versions. However, you can achieve this by duplicating the site and customizing each version. In WordPress, for instance, you can create a separate version of the site using a staging environment or subdomain.

We have added the requests to our wishlist about:
Text-based themes
Hyperlink export feature
Dual versions of a site

The whole point exactly top to bottom in those responses from you is that builders don't typically have these feature....EXACTLY! That's why you should have them native isn't it? You would complement a clone of every other website builder not keep cloning every feature of every other drag drop builder it sets a president for more comprehensive less lackluster builders doesn't it and your wrong file management plugins are everywhere for builders like wordpress but you know people can by all means choose to just keep trying to get new money for old rope if that's their theory let them eat cake just in reality it just doesn't work and or look good at all.

It's regurgitated template/font updates your adding and some blocks nothing substantial in a development sense it is lazy features which take seconds to copy cut past a template and adjust to desing it clearly. This is not selling the product it just dumps it behind wordpress and other builders with plugins because the development time is wasted on bulking images/blocks/template carousel items all the stuff it already has had just been topped up periodically but no real work no actual major upgrades don't say hosting as a come back for that either that's an easy built option using a server otr third party/parties serves and linking it nothing special that hasn't been around since internet domains began life.
But you know throw all these ideas in the meat grinder and keep pumping out mediocre updates and go under then, the least you could do is allow any files you want any music/videos etc of any size to work in the pro offline software because you did used to until you forced it to align with the online builder file storage caps basically adjoining them to match as to be a bit lazy in my personal opinion so that you only had to do one lot of adjustments not 2 when republishing or updating the site because the offline builder would retain a separate storage capacity meaning different code lines likely done each time at a guess.

Either way there's no reason to block the sharing of sites and projects between offline softwares either that's cruel and unusual punishment as is file size capping for videos and music files in pages it's deliberate back pedalling when you sold it with the trial showing it working it is a breech of contract on the sale of the software any user could claim the cost back for that.

I appreciate the software but it never improves in any meaningful way it's stuck in park for 2 years I think now really so I'd add something a lot bigger than tiles/images/fonts and blocks you need pdf export and any size file import of any file type to bond into the html folder when exported, you need much more than that, a file management plugin and so on. To really shine you need all of that and a lot lot more. But I can aboslutely tell you a fact right now that puts all those put off to be, that is the fact you disable the ability to openly share the projects without adding people to an online account why on earth would anyone add a online factor to the offline pro softwares they make other than double dipping and it is wrong very very wrong to do that, it stunts expansion/growth and adoption and makes you look predatory i would just allow open sharing no account login for either the software or the sharing aspect when exporting a project this would go a very long way to improving and that you can do overnight in an few fours not even that few minutes probably other than the stripping out of the element to add users to a product as an admin none of that is a requirement of any builder for websites it's in my own opinion an act of negative custodial over zealousness.

"You'll keep the loyalty if you drop the trying to make a royalty" catch my drift LOL

Hello CHRIS,

Thank you for your detailed and passionate feedback—it’s clear you’ve spent significant time using the software and care deeply about its potential. Your points about the need for more meaningful development beyond cosmetic updates, open project sharing, unrestricted file support, and more robust native features (like file management or media handling) are all valid concerns that many power users share.
Ultimately, feedback like yours helps push the conversation in the right direction. We'll make sure your insights are shared with the development team. Change doesn’t always happen overnight, but rest assured, critiques like this aren’t falling on deaf ears.

We truly appreciate your support—even when it comes with hard truths—and hope to deliver more meaningful upgrades that reflect the power and flexibility you’re looking for.

Here's 2 ideas I missing

  1. Option to export all links on each page into link only format would be amazing this would mean you can recreate different templates and add your content links 10 times faster than going into the HTML files then copying the title then copying the link etc you can just export purely the links and titles for each page item into a plain text .txt file ready to take anywhere or into any project inside or outside of Nicepage. but it makes Nicepage alterations from say full site to text based site much much faster it expedites the workload

eg. what the text file content might look like for a music page once exported =

MUSIC

80S HITS PLAYLIST

https://'site html link address here"

90S HITS PLAYLIST

https://'site html link address here'

and the whole page gets laid out in .txt basically grabbing sub titles and the links you've added to content

  1. You need to provide an option to add a border to any block not just to a grid and I already know before saying that grids have this but what we don't need is just grids we need the block to also have a border colour picker so you don't have to add a prefab grid and then make a grid it into a singular block shape just to add a border it's annoying.

If you think logically here you could make an export option to export all sites full sites as a pdf file and that way you can then make a site into an ebook because you tear out headers and footers and add images and text blocks and bingo! you have a pdf magazine or book etc without the need for secondary costly or monthly subscription softwares it would be native and totally free do not paywall it is the best way it separates you from the competition doing that. I mentioned this before but it just came to me just how easy that actually is to implement, you'd simply add pdf export function to convert the site into a pdf instead of exporting it as a html website folder format.

It would be one hell of a feature to proclaim Nicepage has when you say it has native support to export your site to pdf format, you'd draw in many many more customers and increase that user base rapidly because you can then make a magazine or book and writing enthusiasts who can benefit from that would be enticed to come over to Nicepage and have a look and probably stay with you, you'd make it so you can add html links still so you could have an interactive ebook or interactive magazine this way you could embed hyperlinks for free gifts and free or paywalled content available on a third party site or locked until they get the password yes you could in fact retain password site pages in hyperlinks embedded inside that ebook or magazine you could do anything even open a club website and bond that in a ebook or magazine hidden behind a password or not up to you you could also an an image or a plain hyperlink to anything even make the image clickable possibly not sure if pdf's can have clickable hyperlink images if they can WOW.. it would also allow embedding links to videos and music in that book or magazine for it's interactive side including entire playlists etc from third parties like odysee.com and youtube and so and so forth. You can make tutorials that include video content/websites/other ebooks or magazines you make with Nicepage this way, you could host a site with them inside available as hyperlink images like an library/archive.

You could embed download links from any site as well for giveaways etc and completion prizes the world is your oyster with that functionality.

  1. In the header please allow disabling background activity linked to it so it can be a plain image with no function, also allow adding an image a video or a song to that header and or footer images so we can pin your custom songs or videos or files etc etc to this. Not pre-fab personal choices like nicepage.com address or modal or pdf that's a good one but n image in an image is cool you could even allow adding multiple images to go to specific pages via making a QR code for each or embedding links and sites into QR codes that could carousel to open the diffrenet files and or QR images to scan to navigate quickly in fact there's another idea a qr navigation menu lol.

It's the way to get heads turning oh and it will turn many heads jaw to the floor stuff.

  1. Add emoji symbols so that we can add them into pages in any block or grid and have options for these to be used to link to pages/hyperlinks and files like audio and video and pdf. What you could do with emojis is use them for categories and moods for music sites and video sites for eg. using a smiley with shades to represent a section named cool make the emojis resizable to..

                         **--  MUST READ THIS PART IT'S AN AWESOME TRICK --**
    

I have actually found that you can make a full images included pdf of each seperate page by opening the Nicepage preview in the opera web browser right click the open page and choose save as pdf you'll need to disable the header and footer if making a book or magazine or keep the header and temporarily disable the menu as clicking that does not work. Hyperlinks and images are perfect though, so yes you can make a book or magazine that is totally rad this way. Fast native artwork backgrounds of images and /or colours, making a rotation for the text would be essential to have a tilted angled writing for covers for magazines, so can the Nicepage team please add a tilt accent to text titles.

What I do notice though at the footer of the page in all browsers once made into a pdf is this silly statement which makes it feel like your not the owner how do i remove this silly unnecessary watermark please? It's nothing but a blight. I will assume that it's saying it's via a live browser pdf viewer thus that owner watermarks like an advertising banner annoyance? If so I presume you must be able to save it using a different viewer without a watermark?

Found the way to do this, you just delete this part in a text editor

enter image description here

Then press backspace aka delete key behind the < symbol until the words ,/html> join the rest of the text

This automatically regenerates it's self each time you save the project and export the project so it has to be done for each individual page repeatedly each time you want to export it footer free.

And that is how a book or magazine can easily be created it would be advantageous to add a footer live html message removal checkbox though and this pdf export for pages.

The finished product when removed by html editing looks like this

enter image description here

There is a mjor issue there in doing this with opera you still get that watermark and only opera so far allows you to use pdf save with full sites all images but the watermark your enforcing ruins it. you open it up in brave browser it's fine no watermark once edited open it in opera your watermarking reappears. And i do know that this is your watermark now as it is written into all saved websites in Nicepage you've clear;y embed that to happen it needs abolishing.

No they can't it is only the Made or Built With Nicepage comment in the footer that is removable this I already do always but this is not the issue the issue regards the viewing of a site with a Online HTML Viewer this auto enforces a different and new alternative footer that appears which cannot be turned of that's a fact.

faults that argue against the software that need removing or fixing are as follows.

  1. CD Key's entered manually not licensed by a server as this may go down and thus you can never re-install again if you go bankrupt you take the sites everyone's made with you buy turning off that server you'll be still liable in court for losses of earnings in a civil case you do not require a server to activate software every platform and disc always used them and don't spin that yarn it's safer because it's more dangerous having it floating around wirelessly when you can encrypt lock it and unlock it with upto 1024bit encryption within the software program it's self and email the codes out only a free update to allow the unlocking and inputting a key is then needed no more online necissary it is wrong very very wrong to enforce this is like a anvil hanging over your head by a cotton thread ready to drop when you go down everyone then goes down without offline activation.

  2. stop forcing picking a option for content inside the header logo image allow option for none (nothing) why do we have to annoyingly pick something we don't want to even have behind the image???????

  3. Allow the fonts to come preinstalled inside the installation of the offline builder this is a must as it is not offline when the site you've built loosing the fonts and reverts to basic native text formats like sans etc when your not connected to the internet, do not argue with me here because this is what happens on mac os with the offline builder in a html view on a web browser, it absolutely will not and cannot see the chosen fonts until you get connected meaning they are simple backend pointing to a third party they aren't even in the software like it says, thus that is not offline is it, it clearly states x amount of premium features in your ads when your buying a pro or other paid version specifically these offline one's, but when it requires an internet connection to obtain and keep these fonts not detailed in that ad well that is not offline at that point you have miss sold and miss advertised the product, and I am sorry to sound nasty but it is illegal in the uk European countries and the US to do that, it's possible to call that obtaining money by deception really but you'd definitely get charged aka fined in the UK for doing it irrespective of what your home country/locale is you could be ordered if reported to refund all packages or amend that advert to say which features will not work offline thus really it cannot be called offline any way if any are a advert claim then don't work offline it's false advertising and obtaining the money by deception, not to mention sites that ever went down when you close down or the server changed address but you refuse tyo update to allow connection the customer could sue for eg. loss of earnings or loss of access through miss advertised software being sold a civil case could be brought by each individual hunting the CEO down after the company closes as well for loss of earnings due to loss of access to accounts/site builds for maintenance and keeping up to date, it's in your best interest to make it actually offline.
    Adding fonts is easy any way because fonts are tiny miniature little nothingness level file sizes weighing nothing but mere bytes each and not even kilobytes, so there's no real excuse for you to not have them pre-loaded on installing to keep the creation side of the software always functional being hyperlinks in a backend of api or some framework is sheer lazy and knowing it will die beforehand thus liability is inevitable at the end, not doing so is a blatant disregard for the customers rights who have paid and a clear breech of those consumer rights laws with complete disregard and impunity for consumer laws it ceases to be fit for purpose as an offline website builder with these proclaimed fonts and images when they are bound to some website or some third party unreliable platform for storage because anyone can pull the plug at least having the fonts embedded resolves the major issue you can use loads of other image locally but not fonts you must make the effort to embed those now before you ever go under and they will sue you then if it damages business through it,

4.This is why i keep telling you over and over and over again exporting is essential as well for free nobody pay wall blocks and locks people in a cage of you can't have your site project to transfer somewhere else mate it's callous and it isn't practical when the platform dies again they'll sue you civil case for losses being accessible same with none transference or re-installations not working to access projects because you've deliberately paywalled it behind a license server. That is bang out of order give them what they paid for as described and they'll flock to it and stick with it wall it all off or miss advertise it it will fail outright it's just a matter of time now these aren't big fixes they are expect features that are not as described in the ads and breeching law consumer law.

It would give people confidence in buying outright offline packages knowing it will always be there to access and reinstall with an external key it can't if your locking it to a server address to check validity did cd rom and dvd rom games need that in the past no they used product keys so no excuse for that one at all.

Having found these flaws it's highly concerning to me definitely I don't feel confident it will last and I feel absolutely guaranteed to loose access to my sites because fact is I will when you close shop. I would imagine this is the biggest factor to a lack of sales you'd be having, there's no software reinstallation long term ownership security what so ever none hence they'd just use offline wordpress instead with plugins as well because it guarantees it will remain functional not walled in by servers and breaking when the change or get closed down like Nicepage offline will.

Allow the fonts to come preinstalled inside the installation of the offline builder this is a must as it is not offline when the site you've built loosing the fonts and reverts to basic native text formats like sans etc when your not connected to the internet, do not argue with me here because this is what happens on mac os with the offline builder in a html view on a web browser, it absolutely will not and cannot see the chosen fonts until you get connected meaning they are simple backend pointing to a third party they aren't even in the software like it says, thus that is not offline is it, it clearly states x amount of premium features in your ads when your buying a pro or other paid version specifically these offline one's, but when it requires an internet connection to obtain and keep these fonts not detailed in that ad well that is not offline at that point you have miss sold and miss advertised the product, and I am sorry to sound nasty but it is illegal in the uk European countries and the US to do that, it's possible to call that obtaining money by deception really but you'd definitely get charged aka fined in the UK for doing it irrespective of what your home country/locale is you could be ordered if reported to refund all packages or amend that advert to say which features will not work offline thus really it cannot be called offline any way if any are a advert claim then don't work offline it's false advertising and obtaining the money by deception, not to mention sites that ever went down when you close down or the server changed address but you refuse tyo update to allow connection the customer could sue for eg. loss of earnings or loss of access through miss advertised software being sold a civil case could be brought by each individual hunting the CEO down after the company closes as well for loss of earnings due to loss of access to accounts/site builds for maintenance and keeping up to date, it's in your best interest to make it actually offline.
    Adding fonts is easy any way because fonts are tiny miniature little nothingness level file sizes weighing nothing but mere bytes each and not even kilobytes, so there's no real excuse for you to not have them pre-loaded on installing to keep the creation side of the software always functional being hyperlinks in a backend of api or some framework is sheer lazy and knowing it will die beforehand thus liability is inevitable at the end, not doing so is a blatant disregard for the customers rights who have paid and a clear breech of those consumer rights laws with complete disregard and impunity for consumer laws it ceases to be fit for purpose as an offline website builder with these proclaimed fonts and images when they are bound to some website or some third party unreliable platform for storage because anyone can pull the plug at least having the fonts embedded resolves the major issue you can use loads of other image locally but not fonts you must make the effort to embed those now before you ever go under and they will sue you then if it damages business through it,

4.This is why i keep telling you over and over and over again exporting is essential as well for free nobody pay wall blocks and locks people in a cage of you can't have your site project to transfer somewhere else mate it's callous and it isn't practical when the platform dies again they'll sue you civil case for losses being accessible same with none transference or re-installations not working to access projects because you've deliberately paywalled it behind a license server. That is bang out of order give them what they paid for as described and they'll flock to it and stick with it wall it all off or miss advertise it it will fail outright it's just a matter of time now these aren't big fixes they are expect features that are not as described in the ads and breeching law consumer law.

It would give people confidence in buying outright offline packages knowing it will always be there to access and reinstall with an external key it can't if your locking it to a server address to check validity did cd rom and dvd rom games need that in the past no they used product keys so no excuse for that one at all.

Having found these flaws it's highly concerning to me definitely I don't feel confident it will last and I feel absolutely guaranteed to loose access to my sites because fact is I will when you close shop. I would imagine this is the biggest factor to a lack of sales you'd be having, there's no software reinstallation long term ownership security what so ever none hence they'd just use offline wordpress instead with plugins as well because it guarantees it will remain functional not walled in by servers and breaking when the change or get closed down like Nicepage offline will.

bro I work offline, with fonts, too.

Well however you built it does not translate those fonts into html when you save it from preview windows and stupidly embeds that HTML Viewer message in the footer the only way is to edit that out manually on the underlying HTML file it's self but fonts will not operate in the preview window if you try to view in preview mode offline the fonts become basic and none customised trust me it's a fact I am seeing it in the flesh. FACT not fiction mate like that window showing which proves nothing except a window in the builder not a preview offline either/and/or the exported saved as pdf file launched in a pdf viewer inside of a browser it then looses all context of the fonts the images stay but fonts don't remain until you reopen with internet access active only again FACT! I have tested this multiple time and come the exact same conclusion it is pdf format when the sites viewed offline in a browser from a file:// address if made in Nicepage it breaks all fonts and shows arial or basic rudimentary sans a stock one not a custom font as the page was initially created in I'll prove it on video.

Here's another feature idea as well you need a website file size indicator when you click save it determines the current total output size of the HTML folder it would be exporting so these site hosting platforms with strict size limitation you'd know before building a whole site whether is will even be allowed to be published so you can stop creating it if the size grows to outside of the limitations of a hosting platform.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing.
1. We have added a request about link copy to our wishlist.
2. Block borders are already there, see attached.
3. Noted your requests about the header with images and videos.
4. The footer notice is a default one; users with a license can easily remove it in Site Settings.

No they can't it is only the Made or Built With Nicepage comment in the footer that is removable this I already do always but this is not the issue the issue regards the viewing of a site with a Online HTML Viewer this auto enforces a different and new alternative footer that appears which cannot be turned of that's a fact.

faults that argue against the software that need removing or fixing are as follows.

  1. CD Key's entered manually not licensed by a server as this may go down and thus you can never re-install again if you go bankrupt you take the sites everyone's made with you buy turning off that server you'll be still liable in court for losses of earnings in a civil case you do not require a server to activate software every platform and disc always used them and don't spin that yarn it's safer because it's more dangerous having it floating around wirelessly when you can encrypt lock it and unlock it with upto 1024bit encryption within the software program it's self and email the codes out only a free update to allow the unlocking and inputting a key is then needed no more online necissary it is wrong very very wrong to enforce this is like a anvil hanging over your head by a cotton thread ready to drop when you go down everyone then goes down without offline activation.

No not sure what you mean by that comment, but I am saying those fonts do not work withput the internet when using HTML viewer in a browser if you've got the internet connection turned off you loose the custom fonts it changes to stock fonts only?

Hello CHRIS,

At present, our licensing system is designed to work through online activation, which ensures secure delivery, validation, and management of software access for all users. This method also helps us prevent unauthorized distribution and maintain the integrity of our platform.

That said, we recognize there are valid concerns about long-term access and reinstallation, especially in the case of service disruption. Your point about wanting a manual CD key system with local-only activation is understandable and has been forwarded to our development team as a feature request. While we cannot guarantee immediate changes, user input like yours is invaluable as we continue to refine our licensing process.
Once activated, our desktop app can work offline for design and editing.
Reinstallation and activation require internet access only during the license verification phase.
We do not restrict access to your exported or published projects — your work remains entirely yours.
We do not force to input logo image, that is only an example for element usage.

Fonts are not hardcoded into the installer due to licensing and file size considerations. Many fonts — especially Google or premium fonts — require dynamic loading or are served via web links, which may cause them to appear incorrectly when offline unless they are manually embedded.
We are not reliant on third-party servers for font delivery in exported HTML if fonts are properly embedded. However, by default, the preview behavior in a browser may still differ depending on browser caching, OS font support, and local security settings (especially on macOS).

There is a size indicator for WordPress/Joomla export, we have noted your request about HTML export too.
Thank you again for taking the time to write to us. We’re here to support you further.

Something angering me greatly angering me is the fact i had bought this builder knowing that at that time it would work with files of any size for audio and images and video but since haveing bought it you then cruely removed the option to use any size file WHY? That has prevented people using anything of a 4k standark image wise anything GIF based being 20mb each most of the time that limits the software completely goes back on the word of the trial before buying it works then after you strip it out and break the audio backend and don't bother fixing it, i want to know why you haven't bothered and why why on earth you would choose to restrict any single option for audio/video and images to be limited to a file size evever it has xzero to do with you it's up to the customer but the fact you chose to remove these prior worrking options after sales i actual miss selling nad miss advertising the product you don't sday you can do this or that then turn round and say sorry we don't do it any more the only answer why that i can come up with is lazy development bypassing the need to create two builds one for offline with no limits where the config files or structure would deviate from the restricted size limits imposed on online user accoutns that is unacceptable behaviour, you need to reinstate that for all pro users that have bought the software really, it's actually fraud because you've said it is one thing before paying and then deliberately changing what it is that was actually paid for tin he features post purchase that's not even legal in the uk you should have improved on those features and not reduced them and that has made me so angry, and that is really the number one big reason I won't buy it again after paying for features fell in love with to get me to buy it only to be taken out after a unecissary update it limited video and artwork sizes and you broke the mp3 background at a time i'd created a site using it i had to restart everything. i loveed but i hate what you've done to it in respect of those 3 things it is insultingly small file size limits unusably small for mainstream use you never cap anything on that side itunless it's account driven that's what I think you wanted to not have to create two copies one for the online accounts and a second offline with a different structure for the build to provide unlimited size caps for audio/video and artwork it's bang out of order I mean seriously made me flip out at that time i'd spent forever it was amazing then bang you broke it and all I got was a free upgrade for a year it entitled you to a full refund that did as it was not fit for purpose any more for the site i'd built, you completely destroyed it it was like defanging the software. If you can lift those restrictions you should immediately what's the point of making something worse not better???

If your not willing to change it then tell me how to manually edit the cap out on images and and video at least that way we can build properly it's just walling you in otherwise with those caps it can't be of a higher standard with low quality standard file sizes you can't have hd audio or hd video or 4k or anything doing it. It makes totally zero sense to not have HD capability in 2025 when you can go 8k possibly 16k on content why are you making it equivalent to 360p levels for raw file content lol that is insultingly low quality content. I don't know of any site adding raw content that doesn't drop 1080p or 720p minimum on hour long clips etc and half hour clips. Or 320lbps mp3 to 16bit or higher .wav audio it's making you cringe just thinking about 5mb files and 10mb files it's pathetic in a nutshell, and it's crippling utterly crippling Nicepage, doing it makes it a laughing stock to many would be users thousands probably avoid it for this reason and it would be completely off putting to content providers wanting to build a site definitely with embedded physical content in that site because hyperlinks can go down but raw files don't so allow the user whatever they wish for every file type known to man don't you it's them hosting it and paying for the hosting at the end of the day and not you therefore you shouldn't be cutting them short on anything to do with adding file types and or the size of. files they can add into a site.

It's doing the company harm financially and it is doing the builder a great Injustice by giving it less capability to what we know it can actually achieve as it used to be able to do it before some bright spark thought i know we'll take all the features out and put off content creators and video makers/photographers/photo editing specialists/music publishers/producers/song writers//sports personalities and sports fans/musicians all use content on sites that is high quality not one of these can do that with content ownership being lessened and or copyright flagging and other muck that comes with publish somewhere outside the site to come back with a link to? Why do that if they have a server they also cannot pin direct from it to the site again restricting creativity increasing workflow putting all your work on someone else's site instead of your own because you've capped the file size and types to a silly 5 and 10mb joke worthy limitation, it's totally bewildering???

I can give some awesome ideas to why you'd want high qual large videos and music files, you could add video backgrounds that are full HD or 4K you could add background songs and video to all pages to create a audio visual menu system, and here's a cool addition you could add sound files to buttons and swiping arrows for carousels elements you could add sound files and FX to things like image clicks and you could add/embed complete song lists and video lists to sites you could have any file in fact...eg. a zip file or a pdf file etc etc the site becomes the file server it's self you'd sell more large capacity hosting likely as well at least some any way and that self reliance means users not having to utilize some third party unnecessary content platform to embed links inside their site every single time they want sound or video??? And anyone who tries to say that the site won't load with big content in it blah blah is lying because I have already put a site online that was almost 1gb size made in Nicepage it went online and it was on s free host mainstream and and blockchain hosts which run slower and it was still the same speed almost as native say 100mb sites will be scrolling and turning pages and clicking etc,, if you start adding audio and video and files of any type instead of mp4 and mp3 only iat silly 5-10mb sizes LOL t's going to vastly expand the creativity and adoption no question about that high qual content is the feature why is this sticking 30 years in the past at this 360p none-sense well least compatible size profile of anything ever seen on websites??? The file size is quite literally pathetic absolutely pathetic in relationship to other platforms your just cutting your own throat restricting it to begin with and shooting your self in both feet simultaneously it's absolutely absurd to insist anyone can even post a file at those 1990s level irc chat post sizes lol it's just impossible no video no song not even a a 12 second sample file in .wav format can fit inside your file size criteria it is ridiculous stupid to be honest your putting everyone off why use anything that says no to anything? When the rest say yes to everything???

It's like sayijng here's a new car your not allowed to put any more than 1 litre of petrol in it and you can only use one type of petrol and you have air con and heating but your only allowed to use the air con????
Or compare to an electric bike but the bike has no motor or no battery you sold it with it then stripped out via updates why? I am going to assume it's to make it unified and easier to maintain nothing more but it destroyed it.

I appreciated it more when i could add anything at any size and you took it away to reduce workload and improve workflow at the expense of pre sold pro versions which were used in trial mode and sold thereafter with those features as part of the trial to entice you in it's what sold me on getting/buying it during my trial period adding video and audio songs full ones as background music then you removed them which is illegal in the uk and overseas sales into the uk it's a breech on the consumer right act 2015 the item was sold to do certain functions embedded in that trial then you removed them after the point of sale after people built the sites utilising those features thus it becomes then "not fit for purpose" aka "not fit for the purpose for which it has been sold" it entitles every person who bought it at that stage to a full refund based on it no longer function as was sold and as was described to have been pre purchase that is illegal period it's fraud aka "obtaining money by deception" in UK law

By law you thereby have to re-instate the functions initially included at trial after the purchase or full refund all customers ripped off by miss selling those functions as included but then removing them, as it is no longer the same product they bought at that point it is not fit for purpose.

There is one more way to get around it provide a way to retain all projects yet downgrade or a second version an old version to install to a secondary account so they can do that they just import the project file into that old version the initial release they bought.

Or stop encompassing online functions like file size restrictions for wordpress based online account use into the offline builder like you never did before instead of being idle and unifying it to save a few minutes and two output files it's bone idle self indulgent development not fair honest or user friendly development neither is not having your own team or font provider pictures are ok loads of sites exist but fonts you need to reach out and hget some donations you add permanently rather than bouncing off hyperlinks all the time to save time it would be faster having them embedded any way.

I am in now way saying the software is bad it's actually very very good, but it lacks those extra functions of music and video lift the restrictions and add zip/rar and iso/mp3/wav and other formats you can think of even .apk for app developers to post apps embedded in a site is an incredible file extension to allow as well as those devs have to use cr@p platforms like google drive and dropbox or something to host even tiny little apps in a website and that is not in house it would go a very long way towards encouraging people to part with cash to tell them they can treat their websites like a server no file restrictions applicable and any file can be embedded anywhere in any page header footer anywhere even behind any image just amazing that's going to be it broadens the user base size to encompass every trade looking to host a site with a thematic apporach either/and/or files built into the site so they don't have to pay monthly for a secondary host for the files aka a cloud think about it...it's simple yet very very clever.

An app developer can publish their apps directly on to his or her website bypassing Google amd other premium contractual marketplaces no hosting or listing fees or cut of their income for one.

Musicians can host their must directly in a website even providing songs as background for each style of music if they want on different pages like a cyberpunk page with cyberpunk backround music a EDM page with a EDM song as the background and a backround image or video evn how cool is that.

A book retailer could create a book shelve style website page with books for sale on a shelf image background you could add horror music for the horror books page you could add a space background music for the sci fi books page

The possibilities are endless and you could open another page in the forum where people showcase their sites you then hold competitions at random picking winners for free updates or upgrades or free hosting packages for the best sites picked by the users or the staff the board etc if there is a board?

But yeah that's where it's at engagement adding unique incentivisation to use it ways to use it and gifting and encourage that creativity to expand and grow the user base it will definitely do and it's not hard work either one extra forum website page to add and then applyunlimited file types and unlimited files size capacities to the offline builder, that's all it is.... simples mate.

The other would be get companies that want sites built to ask the community to build one for them as a competition the creator exports a zip they can use of the project lift the 10 user limit off everything to allow that to happen importing inbetween versions etc online/offline and they award the one they pick with a reward and you for hosting the competetion in the forum.

Hello CHRIS,

We sincerely apologize for not getting back to you sooner, and we’re truly sorry for the delay in following up.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and concerns in detail. We completely understand how frustrating it can be when software changes affect the features you relied on—especially after investing time and effort into building something with specific capabilities in mind.

Regarding the file size limitations:
Yes, there have been updates that introduced limits for media file sizes in certain builds, especially those tied to the online builder or hosting environments. These changes were primarily made to ensure site performance, browser compatibility, and upload stability—particularly across shared hosting environments. That said, we recognize that creators working with large media files, like HD video and high-fidelity audio, have different needs.

Unfortunately, at this time, those size caps cannot be removed manually in the offline builder or through config overrides. However, we’ve passed your feedback along to our development team for review. You’ve raised valid points about creative freedom, modern standards (4K, HD audio), and the importance of offering advanced users more flexibility.

We want to assure you that your message has been heard. While we may not be able to immediately meet every request, detailed user feedback like yours is critical to shaping future development. Thank you again for sharing it with us.

Anna.
