Typepad Reviews & Product Details

I think being a YouTuber and blogger, I have realized how important it is to have a simple user interface where I can pen down my thoughts and that is what Typepad does.

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.

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 Here are the key cons in my opinion: small number of plug-ins and features,inflexible pricing, outdated and not the best for advanced users.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.

I don´t like the configuration in the own domain , it is a little difficult, also the stiles and the design are limited and finally, the feedback in the community always is in form of plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Typepad has been part of my regular business communications for more than 14 years. I like it because it is so easy to use and requires no maintenance. I can't remember the last time I had a support issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I compare it to other blogging platforms the lack of plug-ins is a bit of a shortcoming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
