Hey friend,
Today I’m coming to you with an ask: if you’ve bought a plugin from us in the last year-ish, what is your feedback around the installation process? By the “installation process”, I mean everything it takes from the moment you purchase a plugin until it looks and acts the way you want it to on your website.
As a small business owner who loves his job and wants to keep growing, I’d truly appreciate your input — I always want to be sure I’m listening to y’all and building things with you in mind.
You can share your anonymous feedback by clicking the link below that feels most accurate to you.
Installing the plugin I bought from Will-Myers was:
Mostly easy, once I worked out a few kinks — one thumb up.
I don’t remember, so fine I guess?
Pretty challenging, but I got it eventually.
Terrible, I never got it working or it took me waaaayy too long.
After you vote/click a link you’ll also have the chance to give more specific feedback, or you can click here to give feedback without voting. Your specific feedback is especially appreciated.
We’re always trying to build cooler and cooler plugins, but there’s a real tradeoff between fancy design / customizability vs ease of use. I’d love to hear your thoughts on where we’re hitting the mark and where we should be spending our time to improve our plugins and your experience with using them.
Thanks for your help, and for giving us the opportunity to make cool things for you to use.
Lots more in the updates for you down below.
Keep building,
Will

Toggle between light and dark color themes on your website. Or get creative and toggle between any color themes you want.
I’m super pumped to be releasing this one. We’ve been working on it for a while now and been testing it out the wahzoo. It’s performing great and we’re ready to release it into the wild!
We’ve add a 'beta’ disclaimer on the purchase page, mainly because it does so much we want you to be vigilant for any other minor quirks that pop up. But we’re very happy with it and can’t wait to hear your feedback.
