It was a landmark because, the site registered remarkable growth after the migration. What I like most about Quintype is that it is unique for news.

The base code seems to be intelligently designed for malleability. 3. Good account management team with great communication skills. Half the battle is won when a problem is simply explained and correctly understood. > > **Cons**: Works well for websites with modest traffic and lean news cycle. The costs and model could become a constraint when footfalls are high and nature of information displayed critical (for e.g., general news) ----- ### "A wonderful and robust platform" — 5.0/5 > **Akshay** | *20 June 2018* > > **Pros**: We have been using this platform for a year. It is great software for publishers. Fulfils our publishing needs in terms of video, text and photo content. You can also get elements customised as per your requirement. Also, they have a great design team with a good sense of aesthetics. > > **Cons**: The backend takes some time to get a hang of, especially the link between Menu-Section-Collection-Story bit. It takes some handholding in the beginning. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/55934/bold?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/55934/bold) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
