Overall Satisfaction with CommonSpot
CommonSpot is used by all departments within the organization to host and edit the website. The organization as a whole utilized CommonSpot for editing of the main website pages, while each department used CommonSpot to edit their individual web pages. It's sole usage, as far as I was able to understand it, was to host and edit the web content for the organization's website.
- I think CommonSpot's greatest strength is its ease of use. It's relatively intuitive in it's usage, so it therefore makes it easy to train new people to use it.
- Within my usage of it, our options were limited, which again added to it's ease of use.
- It was difficult sometimes to make edits once they had been done. Going back and adding something would cause the whole page to reformat and made it incredibly difficult to make small changes.
- This is perhaps due to the limited options from our organization, but the options were boring. As a result, CommonSpot often bore the brunt of our frustrations in not being able to make the site more attractive.
- Adding a link was a tedious process that always seemed like it could have been done with a cut and paste instead of uploading the link address and connecting it to the word.
- I was working in a religious institution and based upon our usage and audience, there was no ROI to speak of. Our usage was more for providing information than having any type of interaction. In that instance, it worked very well.
CommonSpot is the only web content management program I have used.
