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.
