• The process of editing the opt-in box needs a lot of improvement. It can be extremely confusing especially if you are not used to it or are a new user, to edit the copy in the side bar and not in the existing place where the copy is supposed to be.
• All the changes made are not saved by LeadPages. However, It has a functionality of auto saving the data but in some instances, it is not consistent. So, it becomes necessary to click on the click on the save button every time any changes are made. This can lead to headaches if a user forgets to click on the save button and considers that the data is auto saved.
• LeadPages still has limited functionality, although new features are getting added constantly. It still lags behind some of the other landing page builder tools like ClickFunnels that possesses a lot of more features than it. As a user, you don’t even get to personalize your content.
• All the designs and templates are pre-defined and you cannot make any changes to them. You don’t even get to re-arrange or re-order any of your items. This is a very limited functionality from the user point of view.
