"ShortStack saves us time! "
What do you like best about ShortStack?

Being able to use the templates that ShortStack has already prepared for use, saves us a bunch of time. Being able to just drop images and text in the places dedicated for them is such a simple process.

What do you dislike about ShortStack?

I wish there was an easier way to get to the entries, rather than going thru a few steps to do so.

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

Our giveaways, whether it be thru social media or email, ShortStack has helped our company get things done, and in the correct matter. The amount of time we save by using ShortStack helps our bottom line.

"Awesome, user-friendly platform"
What do you like best about ShortStack?

I love how easy it is to build great looking landing pages for our clients. Our web designers can use code to customize a look, but those of us with no coding knowledge can also easily create a nice looking page that get results. With the forms, we are able to seamlessly generate leads for our clients, collect emails through contests and make changes on the go without missing a beat.

What do you dislike about ShortStack?

There's not a whole lot I don't like, but if I had one complaint, it would be that we can't have more than two users without paying a premium.

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

Shortstack has given us a an easy way to develop a mobile website for a specific campaign without have to code one on our clients website. This saves us so much time, and it's super easy to make changes and updates as we go. It's also been a great tool for email capture and lead generation.

"Amazing Product"
What do you like best about ShortStack?

This product is great for giving you the tools to produce what you want, without a need for extensive CSS or programming knowledge. It is extremely user friendly, and the support team is very helpful and responsive. The widget based platform allows you to more easily visualize what is happening, allowing you to think of what else is possible for future ideas.

What do you dislike about ShortStack?

Although the new template design tools are a major step forward in terms of being user friendly, it can still be difficult to identify what exactly you are changing. It would be very helpful if there was a pop up help icon that gave a brief description and example screenshot of the section the option controls.

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

Shortstack is allowing us to quickly create and run campaigns with little to no involvement from anyone with actual development experience. This saves both time and money in regards to the potential cost of hiring a developer.

What do you dislike about ShortStack?

I would like to have more templates available for different themes/holidays.

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

We are getting more engagement with ShortStack through contests. We have gained more subscribers to our email newsletter which has resulted in more sales. We are also building our brand utilizing a year long contest with ShortStack to celebrate our 10 year anniversary.
