Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Ceros is used mainly by our graphic designer. It allows us to create sophisticated content and pages with smooth animations and videos (shoppable lookbooks, original content), without the help of a developer and without weighing down the site (since the content is hosted on Ceros and it's embedded into our site). We have also started using it to create more engaging internal communications.

Pros and Cons

Easy to use and adopt user interface. If you know basic Photoshop, you can use this.
Encouraging roadmap - the product has gotten better every year. The company obviously listens to client feedback.
Smart, dedicated client team - always checking in, comes with new ideas, generally nice people. We always love our meetings with them!

To ensure the page is SEO-friendly might take a bit more time.

Return on Investment

Higher revenue for visitors who engaged with a Ceros than average

Alternatives Considered

Creator by Zmags

Ceros was more flexible in its functionality and in what can be created than Zmags at the time.

Support Rating

Our CSMs have always been 100% and their support team typically responds within an hour or two. Their design/build team also worked with us on perfecting several experiences and are always mindful of how a project is going. One of their designers didn't really understand one of our requests and the project took more rounds of revisions than in previous projects, but they rectified the issue and the project came out well in the end. That outcome probably only happened in the time it did due to our CSM consistently checking in and getting feedback throughout the project - unfortunately, not something that happens enough with all our partners.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you want to publish original content quickly without development, Ceros is the perfect tool. If you want a page super optimized for search engine crawlers, there's nothing better than a simple text page - which is not what Ceros is for. We've used it for shoppable catalogs and gift guides, collection launch landing pages, shopping guides that live continuously on the site, and even for hosting video content, so we don't have to have a large video file within our site that might slow it down.
