### "Economical Basic Website Manager with Good Customer Service"

October 21, 2021

4.0

The biggest plus to our work with Catapult has been the great customer service and ability to work with the developers. At one point when it was described to me the 58 step process (no joke - I saw the list) of publishing our monthly school board meetings, I analyzed where the bulk of those steps occurred and worked with a company developer to show him the problem and my suggested solution. Within a couple of weeks, an hour long process just to post the monthly agenda was down to 15 minutes.

Pros

They helped transition us from our last website manager to their platform and provided good basic personalized training and some ongoing support. With some basic training of users, maintenance is fairly easy. I also like that there is basically a "splash page" from which I can quickly go back and forth from our various Catapult platform products.

Cons

Heavy reliance on pre-done templates and layouts. Years ago when I worked in Dreamweaver I found there to be a really good balance there of greater flexibility in my editing that I get often frustrated with using Catapult CMS.

Reason for choosing CatapultCMS

Pricing and ease of transfer.

### "Great website and content management tool"

October 21, 2021

5.0

Communicating seamlessly and timely with all stakeholders in a way that they can all access.

Pros

CatapultCMS is intuitive and easy to use. Users can easily edit and add to their websites. The integration with mass notification and an app creates a powerful and integrated communication platform.

Cons

There could be more robust editing tools and it would be easier if all subpages were linked to the main page rather than having to link them as an external website. This would also make it easier to link the subpages back to the home page.

Reason for choosing CatapultCMS

Cost, features, support, felt like my business meant something to Catapult, desire to listen to and hear feedback.

### "A great software for someone with little experience"

October 21, 2021

3.0

Overall it has been good. There have been ways I have found to work around the limited components available and the support team has been amazing.

Pros

I love that it is easy to use. It is simple and easy to train additional staff if needed.

Cons

You are locked down to very limited templates and components. It has a lot of clutter on the home page and not many options to remove or re-arrange how you want things to look. If you upload documents/images to one page, it does not carry over to other pages so you need to re-upload a lot of content. There is no options to create re-directs or shorten URLs. If you publish to preview only, the page publishes overnight so very difficult to work on pages and put them into the review.

### "Easy to use & stellar customer service"

July 29, 2021

5.0

Overall, our experience has been very positive. It is a pleasure to use the software and all interactions with customer service are great.

Pros

We switched from another educational website software company mostly because it was so difficult and cumbersome to use. Catapult is so user-friendly, making updates is very easy. And the customer service is amazing, every time. So responsive.

Cons

Only one editor can publish a section at a time. Doesn't integrate well with google calendar. The horizontal banner is sometimes difficult when formatting images in the space.

September 7, 2021

Amazing. The relationship that Catapult has with its customers is the best. They do not rest until we are satisfied. Customer support and service is top-notch and they are always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we get exactly what we ask for.

The integration with tools, such as Active Directory and Google workplace makes editing nearly seamless.

Cons

I have not found anything that I dislike. The company bends over backwards to meet our needs.

### "Catapult CMS review"

August 7, 2021

4.0

Pros

Overall, the product is very ease to use and looks nice and professional.

Cons

I’ve had challenges with uploading images to the banner without getting distortions, despite following steps recommended from Catapult support. I would like to review and update the overall look and feel of the website and would like more control over that. If that exists, I am not aware of it.

### "Junction City Elementary School"

August 2, 2021

5.0

Staff is great and I always appreciate the help team! They respond really quick and always make sure we are happy with the end result.

Pros

This product is for the most part easy to use. We have a really nice template that I think is very pleasing to the eye. I also believe that it is user friendly for our parents and students who utilize it.

Cons

I really don't like the image editor. It is complicated and my images never really turn out how I would like them to.

October 21, 2021

5.0

Pros

The support staff is great. I can always get help quickly if I forget how to do something.

Cons

I would like one page for staff that requires a password to get in so some confidential things are there for us but not out to everyone in the universe.

### "Picture Edit Function is terrible"

October 21, 2021

3.0

Pros

The overall ability to manage website information.

Cons

I really wish the picture editor for the Banner was more evolved. It is terrible trying to find pictures that fit. I also have issues with pictures fitting in the announcement section. It takes up too much time and is frustrating.

Catapult's customer service is 2nd to none! They have outstanding customer service; professional and quick turn around time on submitted questions/tickets.

### "Website use with ease"

August 2, 2021

5.0

Pros

Using Catapult as our host for our website has proven to be a great choice. We have been able to update our entire site at a very reasonable price. In addition, they have features that make it very easy to add or change items on the current page. In addition, it has been easy to add a page and make sure it is easy to use and edit as necessary. All and all, a great product and customer service.

Cons

Some times the formatting is frustrating, but with more experience it has become easier to use and customize.

### "Long time Catapult user"

November 12, 2021

5.0

Our company has been using this software for more than 15 years now. It has definitely grown with the times. With each release new and updated features make using this software easier. I see no reason to look for a different product.

Pros

We have three separate web sites and have multiple users editing those pages. They can all gain access through an easy to navigate dashboard. That makes it easy to quickly add or edit content. With upgrades in design our websites have a clean, fresh look about them.

Cons

There have been some issues in the past with certain features. However, the Catapult staff is always available and willing to correct/fix/improve any issues. So there is really nothing that stands out that hasn't been addressed.

### "Great Product!"

October 26, 2021

5.0

Everyone at Catapult has been great to work with. We wanted a website that represented who we are, the new design definitely delivered on that expectation.

Pros

Catapult is so easy to use! Our previous website was clunky and hard to manage, we had to contact the developer any time we wanted to add pictures or make any other changes. Catapult has made it easy to make the changes ourselves.

Cons

The only thing we wish we could do that we can't is the ability to integrate ParentSquare into the website.

Reason for choosing CatapultCMS

Catapult's website development team took the time to understand our school and what we needed on our website. The cost was affordable and we really liked that they were a local company.

### "Decent product, lousy integration"

November 2, 2021

3.0

Pros

The product itself is better than the last several CMS products we've used (from smaller vendors).

Cons

The integration with other Catapult products is terrible to non-existent. We use EMS and Connect as well as CMS, and have to have separate scripts to synchronize data for each product.
