Overall Satisfaction with Magnolia
We use Magnolia as the CMS for our main corporate website. It was implemented as part of our re-design and re-launch in 2019, a project by the corporate and IT team. Today, there are multiple groups of users, including the communications/web team, the customer support teams, as well as the various product marketing teams, few who have "web design experience." It allows us to create and publish webpages in an easy and efficient way.
- Easy interface to adopt to publish webpages.
- Great standard components/templates used as building blocks to build your pages.
- Customizable to suit specific business needs.
- Site speed has been an issue in the past, but has gotten better.
- Customer service has been a bit hit/miss in the past, but has also gotten better with our latest account exec.
- A few years later, we are seeing errors/mistakes in the way some customizations were done by our agency, something the benefit of customization, also lends itself to.
- Where product marketing teams used to rely on agencies to build landing pages for new campaigns, they are often now being built through Magnolia.
- Thanks to the training and expertise of our web team, we have been able to prove that in-house specialization can and has often been more agile to launch new creative, pages, etc.
- During COVID, etc., it has been one of the easiest ways to get information out to customers, employees, etc.
Have used quite a few home-grown/built as well as web/CMS (i.e. blog) platforms. Magnolia offers the ease of many of these platforms, but also provides a platform that is strong enough that you can be confident to build your brand's corporate website on it.
