"Use Typepad for blog"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Typepad?

It is easy to use, fairly self explanatory, and gets the job done! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Typepad?

No so much a dislike, but the same thing that makes it easy to use, also limits its abilities and makes it fairly simple. There are fewer features than some other platforms, but Typepad is the easier to work with than other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Typepad is a valuable tool to augment your website and add a blog option for people who may not otherwise be very tech savvy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Typepad"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Typepad?

I like the ability to blog from a mobile device or other device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Typepad?

It's almost useless to use in the iPad, but I am hoping fixes come soon. If you know basic CSS You shouldn't have an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the first blogging tools continues to service millions..."

2.5/5

What do you like best about Typepad?

It is one of the easiest to use blogging tools, but it is deceptively powerful. You can make TypePad into a website building platform as well as a blogging platform with ease. The design editor is still to this day one of the best ways to quickly change layout, formatting and the UI of a website without one line of code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Typepad?

The same design editor I like is also the biggest limitation of TypePad. The themes are not as flexible as you'd like and not nearly as functional as WordPress themes. There are also no easy ways to create menu bars that are hierarchical. There is only 1 level of categories as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Typepad:

Make sure to consider all of your alternatives ahead of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Recommendations to others considering Typepad:

TypePad has not seen a major update in several years. They have withstood a major DDoS attack in 2014 and are now setup to withstand future DDoS attacks. The product is excellent and stable, but is only good for the simplest websites as there is no plugin functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
