IgnitionDeck is one of the best platforms in the market today.
-
I am full-time growth hacker and have been doing business online for the past 18 years. I have 2 companies, one for mid to large businesses [ link redacted, please do not post links in reviews ] and another that targets small and local businesses. Because of the vast difference between large vertical markets and small businesses, I had stopped offering my services to small and local markets. The process was cumbersome, time consuming and frustrating to say the least. And the honest truth, I just could not find a platform that could meet all the requirements I needed to make it work.
Over the years, I tried different platforms. They all worked up to a point. But, there always was that final step that I just could not bridge…until I came across IgnitionDeck. Now, I must say I am not a developer. Everything I know I learned on my own. But, when I came across IgnitionDeck Enterprise, I knew it had capabilities way beyond Crowdfunding, therefore I decided to give it a try.
As you can all imagine, using a platform and mash it up with different plugins, systems, themes, etc. was no easy task. The fact that I am not a “developer” certainly made things a bit more challenging…and this is why I am posting this review.
IgnitionDeck Enterprise is not a “simple” platform to understand. It has many moving pieces. That is exactly what makes it such a powerful platform, which can go way beyond the Crowdfunding industry…but that complexity comes with a price. If you do not take the time to understand all the moving pieces and what each part does…you can become quite flustered and frustrated very quickly. There were many instances that I asked myself, what comes first, the chicken or the egg. Only trying, failing, and trying again, did I find the answer.
In the process of adapting IgnitionDeck to my business model and having to mash it up with so many other parts, certainly created a massive number of support questions. I spent 3 months exactly (nearly 24/7) putting all the pieces together…and IgnitionDeck support was always there for me. They do not offer support on the weekends. So that can be frustrating for people that want answers “now“. Beyond that, they are a group of awesome developers and just nice guys to say the least. Willing to go the extra mile to make it work. The success of my site, and the complex back-end, is in big part thanks to IgnitionDeck’s framework and the support of these guys.
