Format vs WebWave: Which is a better fit?

Mathew: Hi, I'm Matthew. I am a photographer. I give Format four stars out of five. For more reviews like this, click the link below. Before I settled on format, I looked at a few other options. The only one that I really tried in earnest was Squarespace, which came highly recommended, very beautiful, it was just a little bit outside my price point. And I really liked the ease of use of Format, compared to Squarespace, and the fact that it came in within my budget. I chose format because it provided just what I needed at the time. I was looking for something fairly simple, so I came in at a level which allowed me to have the galleries that I needed, just an attractive web presence, and something that was fairly easy to use. I like being able to get in and get started fairly quickly, without too much mucking around. I did also really like the fact that I had the option for HTML customization, so that I could come in, and where I wanted to, I could tweak and update and add a bit more functionality to the galleries or to the pages that I was offering to my clients. That was a really appealing at functionality to me, of Format. And again, it came in at a good price point for me. Getting started with Format was actually quite painless. There's always obviously a bit of time you have to invest when you go into a platform, but Format made it pretty easy to get started, to get going, to get things up and running. And their customer service, I didn't use the customer service directly many times, but when I did, they were really very responsive and very helpful. And I found that, compared to where I had used Squarespace beforehand, I found myself getting a bit lost in that environment. Format, I didn't have that problem. For anyone who is thinking about using Format, I would definitely say they're worth a look. There's obviously a lot of products to consider when you're making a decision like this, but Format's definitely one I would put in the list of things to consider. Jump In, they offer a trial, so you can come in and have a look for free, to see what you like, and to see if it works for you. I guess that would be my recommendation. Just try it. It's definitely worth having a look. They've got some really nice templates, they're fairly easy to use, and their customer service is very good.
