Amazing support
Amazing support, they immediately investigate every issue, no matter how difficult. or how deep into the core of Spectra is required.So kind and passionate to explain how Spectra is thinking.

Good middle ground between simple and advanced blocks
Not as heavy as a full page builder but offers noticeably more layout flexibility than default core blocks. Performance impact has been minimal on the sites I've used it on.

Great help with the setup
I've been using this plugin for a long time and hope it will continue to be developed for a long time to come.

Fantastic plugin and outstanding support.
I am absolutely thrilled with Spectra! It is incredibly easy to use and has allowed me to build my entire WordPress website using Astra + Spectra from scratch, without having any prior knowledge of programming or web construction. But what completely blew me away was their support. I am deeply grateful for the level of involvement, efficiency, and kindness shown by the support service, specifically Ravi & the Customer Care team at Brainstorm Force. They went above and beyond to help me. Highly recommended tool for anyone looking for a clean, efficient, and professional web building experience!

Making a difference
First time using this and had a small problem with getting this to work in my install. I opened a support ticket and received a lighting fast comprehensive reply asking for a little more detail. However my answer was in that first reply and I solved the problem. It was down to the learning curve. The product is first class and the support is first class plus.
