Amazing Block Builder, Everything You Need

groovyq August 5, 2024

I was amazed by how smoothly Firebox works with the Firebox plugin. This plugin didn’t add any unnecessary bloat to my website, and included a timer which was amazing for my pop ups and lead magnets for creating scarcity. The block builder is an amazing tool for a marketing campaign. I had it with FireBox, and the pop up I created helped me generate a lot of sales without causing me any problem for over a year.Also, the support team was absolutely amazing, replied fast to my concerns and helped me fix some of the concerns I had. I highly recommend it to anyone, it deserves a lot more attention along with their FireBox plugin! Well deserved 5-star-rating. ??

Amazing plugin
