Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Mixed Support gone quietPraisePerformancePricing

Reviewers split hard: several call the design tool excellent with quick, personal support, while others say the sales and support behavior is rude, the plugin drags site performance, and the four-figure setup fee plus monthly cost puts it out of reach.

    The customer service at DesignNBuy is just atrocious. Sales people are extremely aggressive and rude. Few of the 5 star ratings on here are Indian people with Indian IP addresses that are probably family or friends of the stakeholders of the business. The plugin itself is decent, far from the best… but it doesn’t matter if the customer service sucks. Usually the service is great BEFORE the sale and then diminish once they get your money, but these guys suck from the get go. If you need a simple plug and play solution, then Designo may work perfectly for you. But if you need any type of customization, you’ll rip your hair out trying to get these idiots to comprehend anything.

    Design-o is an awful piece of software – absolutely convoluted and the plugin brings down wordpress performance on an otherwise very performant amazon S3 instance. The developers do not listen to input and only managed to half-assedly rectify issues after a lot a hand-wringing and endless meetings. I came back to my installation after three months and finally gave up on it. Save yourself the hassle.Further edit: It seems to me that the company does not fully stand behind their product, and their response to the above reads as follows:“it has come to our attention that your previous review was edited on 29th May, and the updated content includes remarks that could be interpreted as unfavorable.” This topic was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by mhartel.

    Design’N’Buy team and software are the most powerful solution available in the web to print market. I tried couple of different solutions in past but none of them met my requirement. We are so happy and grateful to them.
