Very good site building software and wonderful support

I like that MT allows you to create many different types of websites, such as blogs or photo galleries with ease! It was very easy for my husband (who has no computer experience)to learn how this program works so he could start creating his own web pages/blogs using it right away!! Nothing in particular about movable type itself but we were having some problems getting our domain registered through their customer service department at one point which caused us quite alot of frustration while…

Pros
  • Easy interface
  • Lots options available when designing your blog posts etc.
  • Very versatile software works great especially if wanting multiple website functions within 1 site insteadof several separate sites.
  • Tons'o'tutorials online both free & paid versions outthereon line!!! :)
Cons
  • Not much really i guess just wish they had better support staff

Pros
  • Easy CMS administration
  • Great support community behind all products available today.
  • Many great plugins / addons readily accessible across multiple categories; ecommerce being just one example
Cons
  • None

Also, sometimes there are problems with the layout of blogs - they don't look right until after being published. The support staff also seems to take forever to respond to emails. But once those issues are resolved everything works great! We've been able to quickly set up several different types of

Pros
  • Great template options; good search function within WordPress admin interface so we didn’t need an external tool suchas Google Search Consoleto find out about duplicate content penalties etc.; ability upload audio files from iPhone if necessary via Dropbox folder option which is quite convenient
Cons
  • Slower than other platforms
  • Does not always return correct results even though query syntax looks
