Okay, I’ll start then.

Since I discovered elfsight through the Google Reviews app three years ago, many other apps have immediately inspired me to delve deeper.
With an All Apps subscription, I can use everything and adapt it to my needs. The Community Board, in particular, is a supported treasure trove for this, offering unimagined additional possibilities.
With my website, I have a unique selling point in my industry for my local target audience. Maximum views aren’t important to me, but modern and forward-looking features are.
My AI chatbot has opened the door to the pinnacle of today’s internet for me. I’ve already gained customers with whom I previously didn’t need to speak and who was wasting time on the phone. The friendly chatbot took care of that. Likewise, the AIO Reviews app transparently presents customer satisfaction, which helps acquire new customers. I’ve currently configured the calculator, which I only need internally, but which has saved me a lot of work with Excel.
Apps like buttons, social media, and forms—I find it much easier and more customizable than the features in the CMS, some of which aren’t even there. I believe a lot of new, advanced features will gradually be added. The main thing is that elfsight doesn’t run out of top developers and a fantastic support team .

kind regards
sina

Excellent results so far. We’ve signed up 100+ newsletter subscribers to a deeply technical newsletter (hard niche!).

Hello
I added AI Chatbot to my company website. Thanks to this, it answers my customers’ questions about the company’s offer in real time. During this time, I can do other things and thanks to this I have better productivity. I definitely recommend using AI in your work.

I work at an independent non-profit online magazine which has a broad and cluttered product infrastructure. One of our websites is pretty old and still runs on squarespace, but I wanted to make it a bit prettier, hoping that more people would join our co-operative by buying shares. When looking for pricing tables for squarespace I found your widgets, and it was just exactly what I needed. Setting one up and integrating it was super easy, and we’re already seeing the effect of it: the number of people who buy shares has already increased, as well as the average number of shares per person.
Let’s see how this develops in the long term but I’m optimistic that this trend will continue!

(the only problem I see in long term is the pricing: the revenue from the shares is not actual revenue we can use, we don’t profit from it, and as we are a non-profit organisation we have to watch out for every € spent. I wish there was a pricing plan for organizations like ours! I don’t need any of the advanced features - 1 widget is enough, I don’t need projects or collaborators. I just need more than 200 views!)

[Arturo_Rodriguez (Arturo Rodríguez)]

We are the Piscaria Association, a non-profit organization in a very small town in the province of Burgos, Spain. We only have 22 inhabitants. In the summer, we reach about 100.
We have been using Elfsight widgets for over three years. The latest one we started using was the calendar widget, in which we mark all the interesting dates and activities for our town. Since using this widget, our visits have grown very rapidly, and we already have over 4,000 visits to our page, and many interested people have asked us for information.
Only, it is very difficult for us to pay the fee, since we are a non-profit organization, so it would be very interesting for us if you had a special plan for these cases. Thank you very much.

Elfsight – The Power Behind My Websites!

Spring is here, and I couldn’t miss the chance to share how Elfsight widgets have completely transformed my websites! All my projects—salonkenzo.ro, olhovschi.com, and eddyon.com—are 100% custom-built, without any CMS or frameworks, relying solely on Elfsight widgets for functionality and interactivity!

The Impact:
Salonkenzo.ro – I’ve integrated almost all Elfsight widgets, from Booking, Instagram, Reviews, and WhatsApp Chat to Forms. The result? A dynamic, interactive website and a significant increase in appointments! It’s worth checking out!
Olhovschi.com – I use Book Appointment, Blog, and Instagram widgets, leading to 25% more collaboration requests and increased visitor engagement.
Eddyon.com – A dedicated online radio platform where Elfsight’s Audio Player widget powers seamless streaming, creating a smooth listening experience for users worldwide.

Elfsight widgets have made my websites more engaging, functional, and user-friendly. If you want to see Elfsight in action, take a look at salonkenzo.ro, olhovschi.com, and eddyon.com—perfect examples of how powerful these tools are!

I created a group on the social network “The schedule of quizzes of our city”.

To increase subscribers, I decided to create an additional widget for the site. The Event Calendar was chosen for this purpose. It was installed and integrated into a website with a different theme.

However, the page with the widget was added in the search for Yandex and Google, and the increased influx of visitors on the website

And site data for the year ) Yandex and Google

Of course, I would like to have more numbers, but so far I have what I have.

Greetings @Max et al.,

My Use Case

My use case for Elfsight widgets is not commercial at this point. You could say I’m a web development student. I found Elfsight while researching how I could leverage a no code website CMS platform and push its development to the maximum as it relates to overall development, website security and performance.

After testing out the free version of Elsight widgets that included Elfsignt’s branding, I subscribed to the annual plan in Mar-2024 that includes all the widgets. I doubled down and prepaid for an extra year in Nov-2024. With that being said, I only started to really push the use of Elfsight widgets once the Blog widget was released. My professional projects website has now evolved enough to my own liking to place it on my resume.

My Professional Projects Website

The site currently only has 3 visible pages via the menu, however there are approximately 66 pages in total that have been published. I use the below widgets on the site.

1. Blog = 1 - Always visible with a click.
2. Event Calendar = 2 - Not visible, but 1 shared for viewing occasionally.
3. Form Builder = 2 - Not visible, but shared for viewing occasionally.
4. Portfolio = 2 - Always visible with a click.
5. Radio Player = 1 - Not visible, or shared for viewing, as it is still in draft.
6. RSS Feed = 1 - Always visible on the home page.
7. Store Locator = 1 - Always visible at the end of each page.
8. Subscription Form = 1 - Always visible at the end of each page.
9. Team Showcase = 1 - Not visible, or shared for viewing as it is still in draft.
10. Testimonial Slider =1 - Not visible, but shared for viewing occasionally.
11. Weather = 3 - Not visible, but shared for viewing occasionally.
12. YouTube Gallery = 3 - One always visible on all 3 visible pages, and none visible pages, with the other two shared for viewing occasionally.

Website Audit Insights Statistics:

Note:

1. I’m not a coder, just a technology enthusiast that plans on mastering web app development over my lifetime.
2. I only use Elfsight’s widgets, and the native widgets of the no-code website CMS platform.
3. The no code website CMS platform inherently affects the performance. There are still numerous developments, and tweaking that the audit revealed needs to be addressed to improve the website performance.
4. SEO statistics are skewed, primarily as I’ve turned off search engine indexing.
5. Also, other statistics may be skewed due to use of a VPN, and other web browsing security applications that may have slowed the connection speed, and blocked some of the website’s functionalities causing slower loading etc.

Year Over Year (YoY) Engagement:

• Mar-17-2024 to Mar-17-2025 vs. Mar-17-2023 to Mar-17-2024

This is the first time I’ve done an audit like this on the website. It is also the first time I’ve been able to do a YoY Engagement comparision. All part of my learning process, and I am very pleased. The no code website CMS platform, and Elfsight widgets have remained stable which means little to no maintenance needs. Due to this, I was able to start development of another website on another no code CMS website platform that is more sophisticated but requires more time for maintenance. The initial tests of the Age Verification, Website Translator, AI chatbot, and Spin-The-Wheel widgets went very well on that new site, so I’m looking forward to expanding the widget types and use cases.

Overall, using Elfsight’s widget has supercharged my web development, and created a way for me to showcase my web design, web, development, and other digital creative talents. More than likely I will have to upgrade the current plan for the 4 website projects I have planned over the next year. These will further enhance my digital professional presence and commercial ventures.

Finally, I’d like to say that the best element of Elfsight is this community, and the support staff like @Max, @Helga and @DevTeam. They have been invaluable and extremely helpful by making themselves available for all my queries, feedback, and facilitating all the customizations I’ve requested. Thank you Team, you are sincerely appreciated.

With thanks,

I’ve had the best time with the Google Maps widget, with a slightly ‘out of the box’ use! I’m a travel advisor and I’ve used the widget to create a travel map, showcasing where both myself and my clients have visited. I can add photos and ‘tips’ for each destination. My clients are engaged as they get excited to add their own experience, and new leads can use it to see if I have experience in the destination they’re keen on. Highly recommend!

I added the Announcement Bar to a nonprofit client’s website late last year, initially to promote their big fundraising dinner. A website visitor could hit any page of the site - skipping the homepage, skipping the events calendar - and unobtrusively also learn how to buy tickets that were selling fast. Once the event happened, it was simple to convert the Announcement Bar into a tool that would promote a video announcement debuted at that dinner. Thanks to Elfsight, it is easy and a little fun to give my client yet one more professionally styled tool for spreading info and breaking news about their vital mission in their community.

I’ve been using elfsight for over a year now for multiple businesses. I use the Google Reviews, Sales Notifications for specials, Facebook chat and Social feed. I do not have any numbers to share only feedback from my clients. One client made a point to say one of her customers left a review because it was in their on a daily pop up and was easy to do. The business owners really like the widgets and think they stand out compared to their competitors. They also like the ease of updating on the go on their phone when they have a spare minute. I know of one client that is active on Facebook and Instagram and the ability to have her posts be visible on her website has added more engagement.

Over the past few months I have added my own local directory website using many of the widgets and have created a buzz in my area and will be adding an income stream as a result.

Closed a deal on the first day! Im stoked for the future!!!

[Erin_Fernando]

My review will be a bit different than the others. My experience is that of a web dev. I love making things myself, but some things require too much experience or skills I don’t have. I was struggling to come up with designs that I could actually make myself and was feeling very sad that I couldn’t deliver something of the same quality as the business. It was frustrating and stressful. Then I found these widgets and they look so beautiful! They have so many options for customization, it’s insane. Both I and the business owner are super excited about these widgets. They are everything we could ever need and even some things we didn’t know we wanted. Any product that makes you go “squee!” upon sight is a product worth investing in.

The review widgets are very nice, specifically for our business category - weddings. We get many reviews from entitled individuals that can tank recent ratings and that has always been an issue. But with the reviews widget, people are more likely to look at the results on your website instead of going directly to the reviewer (google, yelp, etc.) website, so we have more control over it all. The owner no longer has to worry about those reviews complaining about not being allowed to invite 50% more people without paying. It ruins our image to have unreasonable people bombing us with 1 star reviews. But now we have hope for the future and more control over our own business. It feels empowering and I love the widget’s design <3

(Edit to add: we are currently using the widget for a website revamp, so we have not been able to test it on our normal site yet. We don’t yet have numbers on how helpful it is for numbers. But
I prefer to focus on how it impacts me - the rookie web dev, the actual customer in this instance.)

[Erin_Fernando]

That is super dope. Congrats and keep up the good work!

I’ve had elfsight for just a few days, but I’m already hooked. I’ve created an AI Chatbot for the Tutors on my tuition platform to get instant support, another for customers browsing our website, plus pricing widgets, testimonial widgets, form submission widgets, WhatsApp prompt widget - Elfsight has taken a rather bland website to another level, and I’m positive it is going to help improve streamline our client onboarding and tuition processes. I’ve purchased a full year of all app access already, and I think this will be just the beginning. I’m already cooking what else I would like to make, and how it can be crafted to support my own custom-made HTML widgets and webpages.

[maxim (Maxim Smith)]

Since I found Elfsight, my website has completely transformed! It’s like a whole new world. Everything runs smoothly, and the widgets are perfect. They’re easy to add and customize, and they fit seamlessly into my site.

Whether it’s social media feeds, reviews, or forms, Elfsight makes everything look great and work effortlessly. My site feels modern, professional, and super user-friendly now. It’s been so fun to watch it all come together!

Thanks to @Elfsight
And the developers, who created these amazing widgets—thank you for making everything so easy and powerful!

Also, a big shoutout to @Max and @Helga! Thank you both so much for taking such great care of the Elfsight Forum. Your support and dedication truly make a difference, and it’s been great to be a part of this community!

[D_G1 (D G)]

Elfsight has been absolutely key to helping us flesh out our website. Because our host is designed to both provide a web host and accurate inventory, we’ve found that the web design options are fairly limited. Elfsight widgets have made the website more usable, from allowing us to publish and easily update a calendar of events to showing off dynamic photo galleries. We get queries through our Elfsight forms all the time! This has made an amazing difference in our engagement and our ability to advertise upcoming events. Any time we need a new functionality for the site, we check Elfsight first.
