Our take
Aimed at digital creators, Amaze Software creates no-code digital tools that help individuals and small companies market their products online. Matching powerful design and editing features with eCommerce tools, Amaze acts as an alternative to larger companies like Squarespace and Wix, and is focused specifically on online marketing rather than border websites.
Amaze has grown considerably since its founding in 2011, reflecting the growing demand for online marketing tools for smaller companies and freelancers. The company has also attracted considerable funding, and acquired web developer Spring in 2022, the powerful software of which has bolstered the company's own offering.
