"Great End User Experience"

What do you like best about Foleon?

Foleon allows us to create online content that is accessible and easy for our readers to navigate. We use it to create a magazine. The platform gives the audience a web-like experience, and it's easy to adjust content to fit desktop, tablet, or mobile devices. I like how easy it is for our designers and editors to coexist on projects; they can work on the platform simultaneously. I also like that there are individual URLs for each story link. That allows us to be more targeted when we share our content on social media.

What do you dislike about Foleon?

There can be a bit of a learning curve if designers have only designed for print. But the Foleon team was great about providing guidance and tutorials.

What problems is Foleon solving and how is that benefiting you?

The university cut our print budget, and we needed to find a way to deliver content to users digitally. Foleon lets us produce a high-quality magazine with a superior online, web-like experience for our readers.

When duplicating a publication, all of the overlays need to be relinked - this is somewhat annoying. Also, in the old editor, photos need to be sized before they are uploaded.

Ensure you are have the time to learn the tool and that a couple of people at your organization can make the updates. This will help with the adoption process.
