Feedback from WordPress Business Directory Users
Quality Plugin, super Support
I decided to purchase only a few hours after installation. Clearly this would do what I wanted in a polished way, but I wanted some of the extra functions available only from the paid version.Installation was easy, but I did hit a problem or two, potentially theme related, but also with the plug-in. I dropped the support team some details, and they investigated, and fixed them all within 24 hours.Feed back was quick and easy, and they were very positive to deal with, which makes a pleasant change, and is exactly what I was looking for.This gives me a very useful directory for my local community, with minimal cost and looks nice and professional, but more importantly if I hit a problem, I know I’ll get help.Awesome Job!
Meets multiple needs!
want to give kudos to their tech support… I had multiple questions before and after I bought a 5 site license! Their response time was very acceptable and they helped me meet my client’s needs! It’s a very usable plug-in. I have used other business directory plug in’s but this one is a bit more flexible. Since the client needed multiple directories, I was able to use subdomains to make it work for them. Happy Client and happy programmer!
Perfect Directory and Amazing Customer Support
