Content design and desktop publishing software. QuarkXPress has plans for individuals, businesses, non-profit organizations, teachers and students.
All that was left unclear was resolved in one session after the first one in few minutes. Just love a learning curve like this.
Nothing stands out as being a negative, except the company website used to display all pricing tiers, but that has now been relegated to 'contact us for details. I think that immediacy is missing now.
Logic behind animation and design tools is great and saves A LOT of time. Also importing design elements from my computer gave me the freedom i needed to create a quality product.
As a vendor of books/technical manuals, we were worried about working long-term after all of the set-up was complete. And we'd been burnt in the past with other systems.
I appreciate how much thought has gone into making such an capable product. We use ED books daily as an editor/admin and absolutely love it.
The app submitting process was a bit of a struggle as we have never done it before.
Great feature are the inbuilt promotion options like coupons and vouchers that we can easily create as well as bundling offers. The production process is quick and simple.
I don't like that I cannot create multiple pages with different canvas size.
There is also an online community behind this software that is wonderful and can usually get you where you want to go if you need help.
Updates are a bit expensive for the frequency which they offer them. I miss the little alien, they could bring that back, a little bit of stress relief I miss.
QuarkXPress is a very elegant and intuitive software to use for layout. I especially like the ability to create templates, master pages and style sheets when creating multi-page documents.
Design flaws in software are a constant obstacle. Can't open multiple projects at once, makes transferring things to a new project a huge pain.
It's ease of use made it the industry standard back in the day, but it's been eclipsed by Adobe and the excellent integration of their multiple software products.
When I first got this software the registration process was laborious and the customer support was terrible.
Does everything I need it to do in design for print. Accurate, fast, reliable and a very powerful bit of kit and that's all that matters in my book.
Since it doesn't seem to be in the industry standard anymore (sadly) it's hard to use daily because the updates do not come through.
Grice W.: Hi. My name is Grice. I'm CEO of a recruiting company, and I give QuarkXPress a three out of five. I looked at other products, mainly Adobe Creator. Felt like that it was a little bit more cumbersome to learn. It was also on a monthly subscription basis only, and I didn't want to make that kind of a commitment on an ongoing basis. I wanted to be able to own the software outright, which is why I didn't go with those guys. I went with QuarkXPress because I had some prior experience like 20 years ago using a version of it prior. It felt like I had some awareness of what its capabilities were. It's a pretty hefty program. It's a lot to learn, but I felt like I could have a headstart compared to learning Adobe from scratch. The training was thorough and there were enough online tutorials to help me get up to speed. QuarkXPress is a significant program. It was a big change for some of the folks to learn. There was a lot of hands-on mentoring that needed to be done, but it was a rewarding switch. But it was definitely a pretty challenging onboarding. QuarkXPress is great because it's got so many micro-level ways to adjust and format and things like that that are really important as a designer, as a creator. I feel like if you know what you want to do and what you want to control, that's a good headstart before you make a product selection like this. But I'm really glad I picked these guys.
