User Testimonials
	Jekyll	TypePad (discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	Open Source Jekyll is great for people who aren't intimidated by editing HTML, CSS, and Markdown files, people who are on a shoestring budget, and people who want a blazing fast website. Jekyll may not be the best option for people who aren't interested in editing their websites in a text file and would rather have a WordPress-esque back-end from the beginning. Incentivized Nathan Arthur Programmer Read full review	Newfold Digital (Endurance + Web.com) TypePad is great for serious bloggers who aren't very tech savvy, but advanced users may become fed up with the simplicity Incentivized JS Jeannette Saysomvang Student Read full review
Pros	Open Source Content stored in Git with the website code Free to use Easy to deploy to cheap/free hosting solutions Produces super fast static websites Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Newfold Digital (Endurance + Web.com) Great support Many themes you can choose from Very easy to use from the beginning Incentivized JS Jeannette Saysomvang Student Read full review
Cons	Open Source Complicated for non-technical users Can be difficult to enter in new content Implementing dynamic components can be challenging Incentivized Kyle Taylor Senior Drupal Developer Read full review	Newfold Digital (Endurance + Web.com) Some themes appear very outdated. Limited options for backup Lack of flexibility for advanced users Incentivized JS Jeannette Saysomvang Student Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Open Source Jekyll is integrated into GitHub Pages, which made it an easy choice. Using Jekyll was also easier as there's not really a server or a database to configure and you can just get things started from day one. Running and verifying content changes locally for developers is super efficient as Jekyll runs locally, too.

Return on Investment	Open Source Jekyll has kept our costs low, very low, on all the projects I've used on it. Think $10 a year low. Incentivized Nathan Arthur Programmer Read full review	Newfold Digital (Endurance + Web.com) No answers on this topic
