"There are better options for blogging platforms"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Typepad?

I have opened of a blog site on TypePad in 2013 because I had an interest to become a college fashion blogger. I can personally say there are pros and cons to this platform. In simply terms, these are the pros: easy to use, pretty good customer service, easy setup and buying of custom domain, anyone can use it even people that don't have technical knowledge or skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Typepad?

With all the pros being said, I think there are better platforms out there now that blogging and being an influencer is very common nowadays and everyone has been wanting to get into it. I also do believe that there is no differentiating factor that makes TypePad stand out - there aren't a ton of advanced features. Here are the key cons in my opinion: small number of plug-ins and features,inflexible pricing, outdated and not the best for advanced users. This is the biggest for me: you dont own your own property. I ended up getting rid of my TypePad blog in 2015. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"TypePad is a easy-to-use blogging tool, but somewhat limited"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Typepad?

TypePad is an easy-to-use, if limited, blogging tool. I really appreciate the ease of use, UX and features. I use it to publish several blogs. WYSIWYG interface is intuitive. Pricing is not too bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Typepad?

I know enough to be dangerous with tools like WordPress. I wish TypePad offered advanced features - as the WP tools are important but difficult to use. I specifically wish TypePad offered redirect tools and an ability to create more robust menus. I also wish I could archive/back-up my posts more effectively. All of that said, I continue to use TypePad as WordPress is difficult for me to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Typepad:

If you're looking to host your own site, for advanced SEO features, TypePad might not be robust enough for you. It's certainly easy to set-up, requires no maintenance, and I love the WYSIWYG interface. I do wish it had some of the more advanced features of WordPress, like menus and advanced SEO (redirects, specifically). That said, it's my go to choice for basic blogging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Blogging for personal and small business use. Quick deployment of blogs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
