SUPPORT IS WORLD CLASS!!!

I’ve been juggling a very demanding full time job, and a hobby that I love and get paid for, for 40 years. I am a professional salesman, and on the weekends, a professional children’s entertainer. I AM NOT A WEB DEVELOPER. I need tools that are powerful intuitive and easy to use. When I need help, I NEED HELP. I’ve been using Sparkle for a couple of years now, and every time I’ve needed help, their SUPPORT team has been WORLD CLASS. My day job is selling technology products to Fortune 500 companies—and Sparkle’s SUPPORT team is on a par with any of the SUPPORT teams that I’ve ever worked with, and I’m comparing them to teams that support mission critical multiple million dollar investments in infrastructure.

In particular, Duncan Wilcox is amazing! He is responsive, tenacious, and competent. I don’t even want to say how far and above the call of duty he will go, because I don’t want to set the bar TOO high for him and Sparkle, but what he did for me today was very, very impressive. He’s an inspiration for how I want to treat my customers in all of my endeavors.

The product itself is great. But if you’re going to run a business, small or large, and count on the product, YOU NEED GREAT SERVICE—and Sparkle delivers!!!!

Pick a Pricing Model and Honor It

It's fine if you need to switch to a subscription model to be profitable, but I bought this app a while ago with the intention of it being a one-time purchase and it feels like every feature needs an upgrade. There are apps like Affinity by Serif that charge to upgrade but they're VERY upfront about that when you purchase. Also they release major updates pretty rarely so it's not very often that you need to deal with it, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, if I'm still on v1.9, I can have v1.9 downloaded on my computer. I'm not constantly clicking on features that I don't have access to and being prompted to upgrade. Now here we are all these years later and I'm not going to pay the "one-time-fee" to upgrade to version 5 because I have absolutely no reason to trust that you won't release v6 in a few months leaving me to deal with the same thing. This had all the potential in the world to be a really useful app but the pricing model feels confused and disjointed. Just decide what you want to do, stick with it, and honor the commitments you made to people who purchased your software in the past. That means if you're not willing to maintain a separate product for people on the previous version, then the proper thing to do is grant lifetime license holders a license to the current software, not make it unusable by stuffing in new "premium" features that are basically unavoidable.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your review. I'm sorry Sparkle hasn't worked for you. All we can say is every company has a different market and there's no single pricing model that works for all, in our case this means we charge for the new features we work hard on adding. We have certainly never changed our policy of making a purchased license work forever, so 8 year old licenses can still use the latest Sparkle with all the fixes and compatibility and performance improvements. We are extremely careful in not making the software feel bloated, and all features we add are heavily requested by customers like you.

Outstanding Value

I bought Sparkle after reading the good reviews, taking a chance it would be an acceptable substitute for iWeb, which I used to build my sites long ago. It IS--and it's even better. I've managed to make a really creative website that gets lots of compliments, thanks to Sparkle. I also love that there are built-in animations I can add to certain elements on the site (making a certain object shake or bounce, etc.) which is cute and eye-catching, perfect for my "brand." Visitors always comment on how they "love" the "interactive" quality (by which they mean something animating when they scroll). All I did was drag and drop and assign an animation, and re-tool a bit! So easy. It's worth noting that I did have a couple of questions, particularly when I was first uploading my site onto my server. I couldn't quite get it going, so I contacted customer service to ask. They walked me through the process and have helped me ever since with various aspects of site-building, without complaint. Outstanding level of support. Cannot recommend this software to Mac web builders highly enough.
