Guy G
Director
5.0

Guy: Hi, my name is Guy, I'm a director in a consultancy firm for the health and fitness industry and I would give HTML Editor a five out of five. So, before using the CoffeeCup HTML Editor, we were using, I think Microsoft Expression and probably a combination of Microsoft Word and Notepad. And I think there was certainly a cost option, we're on the free version of CoffeeCup HTML Editor. But also the simplicity, it just works really well and it's really straightforward. So, that's what won it for us. So, the main reasons we chose HTML Editor was just the simplicity of the product. It's very straightforward, not too many bells and whistles. And on the free version we have, it just does everything we need. Very easy to edit newsletter templates that we do for clients, but also web pages as well, and yes, just brings it all together really simply basically. So, I'm sure there are some integrations, but again, we're keeping things very simple here. So, I can't really talk about the integrations, but in terms of onboarding, it's very, very quick and straightforward. It's pretty ... I mean, I get stuck into software fairly easily, I'm not super technical, but onboarding and getting to use HTML Editor was again, very straightforward. So, not wanting to repeat the same things over, but my advice to anyone looking at HTML Editor would be to keep it simple to start with, don't try and use everything off the bat. We get most things done that we need to, as I said, newsletter templates sending out for designing emails and also building web pages. We got most of that from the free product. I'm sure there's lots of extras you can do, integration with websites and other integration tools. But my main advice would be to start simple, keep it easy. And then if you need to upgrade and build on what you've learned and it'll be straightforward to do so.

Owner
3.0

Lucas M.: Hi, my name is Lucas. I'm an E-Commerce owner, and I give B12 three out of five. For more ratings, click below. I tried Shopify for a while, and it had its ups and downs. I tried AliDropship. AliDropship also had a lot of errors and a lot of things I didn't understand. I'm not really too familiar with WordPress. Then I decided to use B12. I chose B12 because it seemed a lot simpler, quicker, as far as page optimization, and that's one of my main reasons for choosing it is just the simplification of it. Everything just seemed like it was there, right in front of you. You didn't have to go to too many places. Onboarding was pretty simple. You speak to someone and they pretty much guide you as to what's going on step-by-step. Integrating wasn't as easy, because there are different systems, so I had to do the integration from a whole different perspective. Me, personally, I don't really recommend transitioning to B12. It's good as a beginner software, if you haven't tried anything else. But if you're coming from somewhere else, I would suggest just stay where you're at and get more familiar with what you've got. B12 is a good option for beginners.
