KytheraI stumbled on KARMA Page Builder (and AURA Content Formatting) organically "in the wild" earlier this year and decided to give them a try. They quickly became MAJOR apps in my workflow and now I can't imagine life without them!
My primary use case is KARMA as the main page builder for my public-facing technical writing portfolio: https://documentation-czar.atlassian.net/wiki
As a team of one (just me), KARMA Page Builder enables me to build visually beautiful pages despite not being a graphic designer or web developer. The built-in templates are a fantastic starting point and are easily customizable, so I can refine the design until it matches what I originally envisioned.
Creating a custom color palette and saving all the colors from my personal branding makes it easy to keep my pages consistent. For components that I re-use often (like my blog highlights) is quick and easy, and streamlines the workflow for adding new content.
Overall, the interface is very user-friendly and intuitive. Whenever I've run into something I couldn't figure out on my own, I've been able to find the answer in the official documentation. I haven't taken advantage of the free demo yet, but the fact that the option exists is amazing and I'm likely to schedule a demo just to see if they show me things I haven't found on my own.
Since KARMA Page Builder is free for teams of 10 or fewer, it's an unbeatable low (or no) cost way to give your page visuals a professional quality boost if you're a small team (or working solo).
The only drawback is, as others have mentioned, the visuals don't necessarily translate if you export a page built with KARMA to PDF or Word format. KARMA (and AURA) elements also don't render if you use something like Scroll Sites to make a public knowledge base. They do seem to work in JSM knowledge bases, though!
