When I discovered Marq, I realised that I didn't have the tools I needed to do my job quickly and efficiently.

With Marq, you don't need to be a design expert to create great content. You have access to a variety of ready-made templates that can save you time and effort. There are also design tools that allow you to tailor the design to your specific needs.

Marq also allows you to integrate third party content to improve the quality and diversity of your content. This can save you time and effort, as you do not have to search for third party content yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

A disadvantage of this tool is that it does not support some file formats, such as PSD, AI and EPS. This can limit the customisation of the design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Marq solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is the perfect tool for users who want to develop quality branded content but are not design experts. It has saved a lot of time and effort and has made it possible to create professional branded content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Marq?

With lucid press you can do it all. Especially for individuals who are not graphic design professionals. We use lucid press to design things for mini campaigns and with out having to use our already overworked graphic design department. We've created digital pieces, post cards, flyers, posters pretty much anything you could ever need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

There really isn't anything that I dislike to be completely honest. It works a lot better than other competitors, and it's designed for the average joe whose not a professional graphic design artists. It obviously can't take the place of what a professional design program can do, but it works thay great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Marq?

My company uses Lucidpress for organization charts and it helps keep things organized for us. I really like how multiple users can have access to it and can jump in and modify it at their own convenience. The CMS is very user friendly and seems to work well with my company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

The only issue I have had with Lucidpress is sometimes my latest edits do not get saved. I will log back in and see an older version of what I have done after I have saved it with more changes. I'm not sure if this is a user error or a product error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Marq solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are keeping things organized and charted across my company with people located in different areas. This has helped tremendously with it being a cloud service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Marq?

Having trialed publisher and also a couple of other software packages I found Lucidpress to be the best, it's so easy to set up and navigate. I was able to produce my magazine exactly how I wanted and in quick time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

It is entirely cloud based, I personally would prefer downloadable software (at least as an option) so that I can use it offine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Marq:

It is a very good product at a very good price, at the very least when considering a desktop publisher Lucidpress should be on your shortlist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Marq solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have created a magazine, GOSPAIN which is aimed at people living, visiting and wanting to move to Spain. With Lucidpress the process of physically producing the magazine was easy and stress free, it has also raised the profile of my business and in a way that I wasn't expecting (the magazine after only two editions is proving very popular).
