Pros

“The plugin library has also saved us a lot of time and money on custom development since we added some functionality such as contact forms for applicants.”

Tim K.

Founder

“WordPress offers a lot of flexibility and customization, making it capable of building a site that fits your specific needs.”

Michael O.

Communications Manager

“It allows me to choose from thousands of plugins to accomplish anything you could ever want a website to do and all for free. If I ever have any issues I can usually find a solution online from someone else who already fixed it or found a work around.”

Sarah G.

Owner

Pros

“Customer support needs to greatly improve, software fixes and improvements would keep this software fresh and in demand but no plans to improve some of the problems and limitations makes this software seem like a cheap alternative to better options on the market.”

Kat T.

CEO

“SimpleCirc allows me to easily manage our subscriptions and renewals with a few clicks without spending a fortune.”

Sharla I.

Publisher/Editor

“A game changer in simplicity and functionality for our small publications. ”

Doug M.

Controller

Cons

“There are a few things that can annoy us when it comes to updates and mobile compatibility but with plugins and pre-designed templates we're able to save time and concentrate on what we actually do.”

Tim K.

Founder

“The site can also get slower when too many plugins are installed, and you still have to think about hosting, backups, updates and general maintenance.”

Davis M.

Head of Finance

“When we are changing the fonts and their sizes, sometimes and for some reason, the text doesn't pick up the font size and it doesn't appear visible, which force us to do it manually and try to guess the same size that was used before.”

Cynthia N.

Owner

Cons

“The merchandise section, where we can put back issues for sale is not quite as customizable as I would like. But, again, SIMPLE so I'd rather it be easy to use than be more complex and require a ton of training to figure it out.”

Amy C.

Marketing director/Ad sales
