Time Sites Reviews & Product Details

A product can only be as good as the support team behind it, and this is especially true with Brandcast. As the development team at Brandcast continues to update their software, the support team does their best to stay ahead of their users in understanding and explaining how things work, what improvements are most helpful, and what approaches are most effective. Questions on their live-chat window are quickly answered, and difficult problems are followed up with personal emails and discussions.User-input and feature requests are also carefully and genuinely considered.

The Brandcast app itself is an excellent tool that anyone can use to bring their message to the web. Dynamic web pages are made possible with simple tools and robust support. Page and site management are also easy to navigate. On top of all of this, the app itself continues to improve as the developers push out new and requested features. With Brandcast, our team has been able to create a wide variety of websites and pages for our clients as well as for our own company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Power features lay just outside the grasp of users familiar with web design and development. The ability to manage and use custom CSS ids and classes doesn't exist at the moment, so site-wide formatting can be quite tedious. Hopefully, as features like this are suggested to and considered by the development team, tools like this will soon become available. File-management (graphics, icons, etc.) can be challenging as well since there is no ability to create or reference folders; supporting files are uploaded into a single folder and cannot be organized outside of file-type or name.

I like the freedom and flexibility of the different components to build really unique websites. We've been able to build really intriguing websites with few resources and time constraints than with something like Wordpress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a definite learning curve. Not having prebuilt modules and widgets sometimes makes things tedious. Sometimes modules simply stop working and I have to contact the support team to get them working again because it's a back-end glitch. It's always resolved but can't say that I've had an issue like that on other websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For my team and I it's the perfect tool to use when our current website doesn't provide the solutions we require in terms of aesthetics or functionality. It also allows us to host all our microsites in one central place and ensure consistency with our branded templates across our global offices. The ease of use means even those without HTML/CSS and CMS experience can create a website that looks professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of editing options which sometimes can be hard to work out how to use - although there are plenty of help guides and the team is always on hand to offer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the easy use and the possibilities for creative design. Whenever I have a question the answer comes as soon as possible (given the fact we work in different time zones). All in all great experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a problem I found - when you open more then one site to work on, the platform crashes and needs to be refreshed. Thankfully all changes are saved, but sometimes some things disappear. That slows down the work and can be very inconvenient.

Also sometimes the platform doesn't load at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how user-friendly the interface is and all the platform support features. I have been able to create beautiful, customized websites more elaborate than I ever could have imagined having no previous web design experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the features are a bit more advanced than my skill level and can take a bit of time to figure out, but the support team is always happy to assist when needed andIi always end up figuring it out! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The designs offered are pretty good, but the service is even better! There's always someone available to help through the live chat, which has been very beneficial when you don't have time to look through the tutorials for the right topic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are still a few features that I wish would be added to Brandcast, but I've been told that they are being worked on! :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how it is code-free but it gives more customizations than typical website builders like Squarespace, Wix, Wordpress, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You do need to learn their system quite a bit. However, they give awesome online tutorials, and workshop. The best thing is, when you are stuck, there are experts instantly offer you help or even fix the probelm for you! Unlike WordPress, they only offer help on a certain templates.

Extremely helpful and patient support team who is very well versed with the platform. At first it may look intimidating to use brandcast but once you start and play around and watch the tutorial videos available, you can absolutely create a basic and functional website with your own customized branding in no time:) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the features are not very intuitive and there may be more then one way of doing something. It can sometimes become hard to know if doing one thing one way is the right way. Once things start looking funny in the responsive layout, the user soon realizes there might be another way of doing the same job right! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the amount of control you get over the spacing and placing of elements on a page. I've used Wordpress, Wix and others and found myself struggling to get things lined up the way I wanted them. There are hacks in any platform, but Brandcast makes it easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With any web building tool there is going to be a learning curve. Most things in Brandcast are intuitive, but some things are not. The support is good and I believe that if you are persistent then you will get where you want to go and never look back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
