Hey guys - just wanted to give you some constructive feedback after building numerous sites with Cornerstone over the past few months.
Mostly, I’m satisfied with the tools that are available. The cornerstone builder, itself, is pretty good, as well as all of the MAX benefits (especially all of the explainer content/videos!)
But for me, the biggest issue I have with the theme is its lack of fully working/impressive-looking templates and themes - especially for prebuilt individual sections.
Many of the themes that are currently included are not functioning properly any longer for one reason or another (for example, you can’t use many of them out-of-the-box without a premium account for Revslider (which requires a monthly fee to continue using) – and some of the premade themes look almost identical to each other when comparing their homepages. I definitely thought Cornerstone would be faster to work with and would have more premade stuff to play with when building sites. (Admittedly, there’s a learning curve when coming from other page builders like TagDIV, which was my previous go-to, and now that I’m over that curve, it’s going much faster than it initially was!).
[A related minor gripe: you also have Layerslider as a suggested app in the dashboard…which also requires an additional $90+ purchase to be of any value, else prebuilt design options are severely limited!].
Even though I definitively love Cornerstone and will continue to use it, I would like to see more templates/themes/sections (OR, even better, the ability for designers to share their cornerstone sections/themes in a connected community of sorts. [And yes, I know I can save sections I create as templates and share them across different sites really easily - imagine adding a connected version of this and how useful it would be for making building quicker!].
