Chose Joomag
In the market you have so many free options, and you can refer them. But the Quality in content making is not on the side of being free.

Chose Joomag
We've looked at platforms like Issuu, ReadyMag, and FlipBuilder and none of them stack up to the total solution that Joomag offers. It's rich with features for branding, sales, tracking, conversion, and lead generation; it truly is a one of a kind, all in one solution for the …

Chose Marq
I tried to use Canva as a more affordable option early on but found that the platform didn't really work well with text and creating cohesive design was difficult because of the way the page layouts were. Every page was separate and it wasn't easy to scroll to find errors in …
Chose Marq
I think if we had found Canva first we would have probably chosen it as our platform. We had already invested a lot of time and energy into developing multiple templates and branding standards in LucidPress.

Joomag is an ideal solution for anyone seeking to create or publish a highly visual and interactive presentation. The possibilities are endless! You can create anything from a periodical, employee handbooks, sales materials, catalogs or brochures. Those looking to monetize will find it simple to do so and the subscription tool is a no brainer for lead capturing. The storage space is limited by plan so attention to your usage is essential.

It’s a good platform to provide a hub for locked down template management. If you are needing a service for managing branded assets and users across multiple teams or departments this can be a good fit. However if you are looking for an online design software you may be better served by other platforms

Outstanding support! The chat feature works great, I always get a fast response and they are relentless! Add to that the Joomag Academy, Blog, Case Studies, and White Papers, there is always an answer to a question and we've had some complicated ones over the years. You are never left wondering; they have a great customer communication system in place.

I tried to use Canva as a more affordable option early on but found that the platform didn't really work well with text and creating cohesive design was difficult because of the way the page layouts were. Every page was separate and it wasn't easy to scroll to find errors in margins, font size, and spacing.
