way to complicated to do any good. I would need a doctorate and 100 hours a month to us this.

Pros

It look like there was a lot of helpful stuff.

Cons

Keep It Simple Stupid; lots of junk that really does not help much

Response from Vendor

May 15, 2019

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback and I'm sorry you didn't find DSS to be a helpful tool for your specific needs. It is, indeed, really robust automation software, and not everyone needs all that we have to offer. DSS is designed to be all-in-one marketing software, so if you are simply looking for a website/CMS, then this is certainly more than you'd need. Should you ever decide to give DSS another try we provide tons of support, training, education, information, webinars, and Users' Groups to help you make the most of the system, and we also offer marketing services if you don't have time to manage the marketing yourself. We'd be happy to work with you to make sure you are getting what you need out of the software! Best of luck to you in your future endeavors!

DSS is the absolute best solution out there'by far. I know Wordpress, or even Wix, Weebly and SquareSpace can seem tempting with their low price and advertised ease of use, but they're not even in the same ballpark as DSS. Apples to oranges? Try Ferraris to clown cars. Wix, Weebly, SquareSpace and even WordPress (to an extent) are created for aesthetics. To someone who just wants a "pretty website," they're just fine. But to business owners who are serious about increasing their online visibility, traffic, user engagement, and'ultimately'sales, DSS has no competition. Most platforms only take price (i.e., cheap: Remember, you get what you pay for) and aesthetics into consideration, while DSS takes the final, most important piece into consideration as well: search engines. DSS websites are not only gorgeous to the outside observer, but are also built with search engine-friendly code that makes your site attractive to both users and search engines alike. Because what good is a pretty site if nobody can find it? Add in the extra time you gain by having everything you need in one platform, the extra security you gain due to the fact that DSS is HIPAA compliant, and the extra joy you gain by having an OUTSTANDING customer service team that will walk you through any questions you have, and you have the ultimate business-building, sales-supporting, sanity-keeping platform.

Pros

What's not to love??? We have built many websites in WordPress and get so sick of the archaic backend. Want to add content? It's difficult. Want to add a photo? Good luck. Want to add a video? Even worse, except add in the fact that all of that media will slow down your site as well. In DSS, everything is easier than I could ever imagine. I want to spend every moment in DSS and never update another WordPress site ever again!!! And let's not forget about the fact that in DSS, there's no need for plugins. There's no need for you to ever go to outside social media or search engine analytics sites, because that information is built right in! Need a CRM system like Insightly or SalesForce? No need; that's in DSS too! And want to send out emails? You guessed it: already in DSS and already integrated to work with your website pages & forms, CRM, analytics. Simply, DSS is the best platform there is, and you're insane not to use it. (Unless you're our competitor; in that case, stay on WordPress.)

Cons

Doesn't currently integrate with Insightly.

I have been using DSS since 2004 when I first created my website with Foster Web Marketing. DSS allows you the ability to make instant changes to your website without the need to wait for a webmaster do it for you.. I can add articles on the fly. I can add blog posts. I can immediately publish an e-mail newsletter. I can add videos, photographs and anything else I can think of. I can add PDFs. I can optimize my articles quickly and without the need for any coding. I can share my content on social media using DSS. I can schedule when I want my content to go live. I can add anything to my website with ease and just as easily, delete any page or link on my site in seconds. DSS is a simple, straightforward and very powerful tool that every website owner should have. It has a great set of analytics connected to Google analytics. DSS allows me the ability to write content on a daily basis to help my consumers and potential clients get information that they need and want to know. I still know attorneys who have to wait weeks to communicate with their webmaster in order to update their website and make changes. DSS allows you to avoid all that nonsense and get it done instantly. Without hassle. With out a huge learning curve.

My law firm has used Foster Web Marketing's DSS software product for several years. It's a valuable tool which enables us to update the content of our website, to include adding case results, client testimonials, and practice area additions. It's flexible - we can log in and create website updates from any location, and when our schedule permits. Notably, it's allowed us to take control of our website. It's really an integral part of my firm's online presence.

I use DSS for several companies whose content I oversee. Adding, editing and tracking how the content is performing is easy and efficient. Knowing what content needs to be updated is also a plus when running multiple accounts, and if I need a questions answered the team at Foster is always quick to respond and helpful.
