Great drag and drop interface & tons off free addon services

The layout of this program makes it very easy for someone who has never used WordPress before but have basic HTML knowledge, like myself (I'm not good with graphics or anything). There are multiple plugins you can install which will allow more features than what I've been able use so far; however if those extra functions aren’t needed then there should be an option where they won't show up after installation! That being said though once installed these additional functionalities do work well…

Pros
  • You get your own server space.
Cons
  • Some modules cost money.Not free.
  • Not all module is complete

Fantastic drag & drop software suitable even just novice CMS users

It's easy enough for non-techies without overcomplicating things by adding too many tools that aren't needed or don't work well together. I like how it comes with preconfigured themes, which makes setting up pages quickly very simple. The only downside would be if you're looking at using an open source system as your main website editor - there are some bugs here and there (like not being able to save images) but they do have plans of fixing this soon so hopefully we won't need other solutions…

Pros
  • Ease in building custom templates.
  • Easy way around editing code via drag & drop interface instead relying solely upon FTP accesses etc.(although still supports ftp)
  • Great support team is always quick about responding whenever problems arise,
  • Very good documentation including video tutorials where applicable
Cons
  • Minor Issues

Perch is a simple, yet powerful tool for creating websites.

The interface is intuitive and easy to use. Features like RSS feeds are pretty much standard these days, but Perch adds some great features to make site creation faster and easier. The ability to easily customize pages and post content makes the experience even better. Perch also provides built-in integration with popular social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc.) Overall, if you're looking for a quick way to create a web page, then Perch is definitely worth checking out. I'm a solo…

Pros
  • No technical know how required!
  • The community is also very active and responsive.
  • Built-In Content Management System - I can edit my own posts directly from the browser without having to go through another application like WordPress, TypePad or Drupal.
Cons
  • If you are a beginner, you might consider trying a simpler solution first.
  • Not Well Documented - In order to figure out how to build an app with Perch, one must understand Ruby On Rails basics.

Perch is a great platform for building small websites.

The simplicity and ease of use. The ability to edit the content anywhere. I have no complaints about the software. It has been an amazing experience using perch. It has provided me a lot of flexibility in what I am able to do with the site. It has been my pleasure to work with the developers. The support has been amazing, the training has been comprehensive. There is not much I haven't been able to do. The ability to publish directly to the CMS as opposed to needing to publish directly to a…

Pros
  • The customization options
Cons
  • The software meets all of my needs

Easy to use template driven software designed mainly

It's user friendly, not overly complicated but does exactly what I need it for without much fussing or faffiness! The best part of this system so far has been that there are other people who have used similar systems before me & helped educate myself further as well - which saved my time over having go through each step by hand (which would be tedious!). There isn't any one feature specifically however we do sometimes struggle with how quickly our emails come back when using multiple email…

Pros
  • And most importantly : no hidden costs!!! Just excellent customer service across board ! :)
Cons
  • I don't really have any dislikes about this, everything is just fine
