Excellent support and service...
These guys really know their stuff and they share it willingly. I worked on a project and had never used the Spectra Blocks before. It's different than Astra itself. I'm thankful for the developers willingness to help those of us that stumbled through the transition.

Best support ever!
When I first started using Spectra, I felt overwhelmed because it has so many features. You can create amazing layouts. I still don't master it but I am learning every day. I was moving a large site from staging to production, so I was naturally nervous that something might go wrong. I can honestly say I wouldn’t have managed without the help of their amazing support team, who guided me every step of the way. If you value your work and time online, I recommend choosing Spectra and their support team. They truly deserve 10 out of 10 stars! L.

So far so good
I've been using Spectra for one year now. I decided to upgrade to Pro and it was a great decision because of the priority support. Right now, I started to use their new Spectra Blocks and it's bloody fast. Some features still need some tweaks (like dynamic content and templates) but I feel heard by the support and they are eager to improve. Looking forward to explore it more.

Spectra Blocks – Global Container Width and Responsive Padding Are Less Flexible
Hi Spectra team, I’d like to share some feedback regarding the current Container/Blocks workflow compared to the previous Legacy Container. In the Legacy Container, it was much easier to create a consistent global layout. I could set the container width and horizontal padding once, and the content across different sections would naturally align with the same left and right boundaries as the header/logo. For example: Full-width section/background Inner content automatically follows the same max-width Left/right spacing remains consistent across the website The same layout works across multiple sections without manually configuring each section With the current Spectra Blocks/Container workflow, I often have to configure the width, padding, and responsive settings individually for each section/container. This makes building a page considerably slower, especially for pages with many sections. The responsive behavior is another concern. On mobile, I would expect the global container settings to automatically handle the horizontal spacing, similar to how a global container system works in Elementor or the previous Spectra Legacy Container. Instead, it often feels like I need to adjust responsive settings for individual containers/sections. For example, I would ideally like to define something like: Desktop Max-width: 1200px Horizontal padding: 24px Mobile Horizontal padding: 16px Then every section using the global container would automatically follow those rules. The desired structure would be something like: Full Width Section └── Global/Inner Container ├── Max-width: 1200px ├── Desktop spacing └── Responsive spacing Rather than having to configure: Section 1 → width/padding/responsive settings Section 2 → width/padding/responsive settings Section 3 → width/padding/responsive settings Section 4 → width/padding/responsive settings ... This is especially noticeable when building websites with many sections. I really like Spectra and the direction of the block editor, but
