Good features, poor user experience

As an event manager, the feature set is impressively well-conceived. Regrettably, its downfall is a user experience reminiscent of 2011. The demo site itself displays these issues, indicating they are not due to the environment or operator, although experiences may vary. The visitor experience suffers from layout shifts caused by temporary duplication of elements, such as date pickers in searches and calendar views, and with toggles erratically finding their places on screen and… Oof. From an admin perspective, addressing the CSS issues (‘!important’ declarations?) and refining the appearance and performance of page and feature styles, it’s a lot for 2024. I also fear the experience would be one of having to revisit and retouch the styling every time an update rolls out. After a brief trial on a staging site, I’m moving on. While I would invest in these features, the clunky execution is unsuitable for a live site. But the features are so good that I’ll definitely be back in the future to check if things have improved.
