Justin L.: Hi, my name is Justin. I'm a PPC specialist for Practice Promotions, and I give BigCommerce five out of five stars. BigCommerce is an excellent solution for e-commerce. That's what I primarily used it for. It was our primary e-commerce platform at a company that I worked at called Verilus. My favorite thing about BigCommerce is that it combined a really great shopping cart with inventory management and the ability to design and modify websites with a large library of different templates that you could use from the BigCommerce library. Some of the checkout options when I was using BigCommerce, having the ability to customize some of the different settings and add dynamic options within an item were something that we looked into doing, and at the time, it wasn't supported in BigCommerce. That type of customization would have been good for us, but, yeah, it was not available within BigCommerce when I was using it.

Will: Hi, I'm Will. I'm a CEO and today I'm reviewing Rocketspark five out of five stars. For more reviews like this, click below. So we were looking for a platform to build our websites and we also looked at Shopify and Magento, and the reason that we didn't go through those platforms and we did use Rocketspark was the ease of use. We found Rocketspark a lot easier to use. So we chose a Rocketspark over all the other platforms out there for a number of reasons. One was the ease of use. We could get a website up and running with only just a few hours with Rocketspark. You can very easily create a website from a template, load your contents up, they're very easy drag and drop blocks. And then from there once you're ready, you can email the support team and they can even help you push that site live on your domain. So it was very, very easy. We have a number of websites on Rocketspark because of this. So the onboarding with Rocketspark is excellent. Very easy, just go to their website, start a free trial, and then you're taken to a page where you do get to choose the template you want to build your website off. Once you've chosen your template, you can then go edit the copy and also the images. And if you do change your mind, you can very easily go and flip to a different template, which gives you a lot of flexibility around that design process. Once you've created all the content and all the images loaded on your website, you go into the home page and from there, it was very easy to get your site live and you can even chat with someone from their support team to help you out with that process if you answer [inaudible 00:00:01:23] around domains and getting the domain life. If you're looking at setting up a website, I'd highly recommend checking out Rocketspark. Just give yourself 15, 20 minutes, start a free trial and that way you can get an understanding for how easy it is to set up a website on their platform. You'll create a very beautiful website within just 15 or 20 minutes. Then from there, you can do a little bit of tinkering and get that website live. So I highly recommend checking it out.
