Review on Prepr by Phil Mehta

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Prepr is a content management system (cms) that allows you to build, update, and manage your own websites.

Very light weight, great customer service! Lack of flexibility, hard time developing in the way you want to structure content or design sites, not as flexible as Wordpress at this point. Recommendations to others considering the product:It is pretty useful tool that can allow you quickly put together marketing collateral for your company, but just don't expect much from it. The more sophisticated the project (complex dynamic site build) the harder it becomes. Building static marketing pages with ease without needing technical knowledge. Prepr's concept is very solid and allows for full freedom and functionality from the software. Their focus on "product design" is much needed, but the actual system doesn't allow for truly good UI for end customers. The only problems Solved, are the immediate problems by offering the headless API (which doesn't have a ton of restrictions and is in-sync with the UI). Benefits include the ability to easily implement a CMS system for any project and to allow multiple teams to have access (even if they aren't web developers) in a single system. The benefits here is for our specific use case, the concept is fantastic to have one source of truth for our web pages, so we feel we can work more effectively. .
