Great Product!
Everyone at Catapult has been great to work with. We wanted a website that represented who we are, the new design definitely delivered on that expectation.
PROSCatapult is so easy to use! Our previous website was clunky and hard to manage, we had to contact the developer any time we wanted to add pictures or make any other changes. Catapult has made it easy to make the changes ourselves.
CONSThe only thing we wish we could do that we can't is the ability to integrate ParentSquare into the website.
Reason for choosing CatapultCMS
Catapult's website development team took the time to understand our school and what we needed on our website. The cost was affordable and we really liked that they were a local company.
Reasons for switching to CatapultCMS
The website was hard to manage and did not accurately represent our school.

Economical Basic Website Manager with Good Customer Service
The biggest plus to our work with Catapult has been the great customer service and ability to work with the developers. At one point when it was described to me the 58 step process (no joke - I saw the list) of publishing our monthly school board meetings, I analyzed where the bulk of those steps occurred and worked with a company developer to show him the problem and my suggested solution. Within a couple of weeks, an hour long process just to post the monthly agenda was down to 15 minutes.
PROSThey helped transition us from our last website manager to their platform and provided good basic personalized training and some ongoing support. With some basic training of users, maintenance is fairly easy. I also like that there is basically a "splash page" from which I can quickly go back and forth from our various Catapult platform products.
CONSHeavy reliance on pre-done templates and layouts. Years ago when I worked in Dreamweaver I found there to be a really good balance there of greater flexibility in my editing that I get often frustrated with using Catapult CMS.
Reason for choosing CatapultCMS
Pricing and ease of transfer.
Reasons for switching to CatapultCMS
Very outdated interface, clunky to work with. CMS was definitely a step up.
Vendor Response

A great software for someone with little experience
Overall it has been good. There have been ways I have found to work around the limited components available and the support team has been amazing.
PROSI love that it is easy to use. It is simple and easy to train additional staff if needed.
CONSYou are locked down to very limited templates and components. It has a lot of clutter on the home page and not many options to remove or re-arrange how you want things to look. If you upload documents/images to one page, it does not carry over to other pages so you need to re-upload a lot of content. There is no options to create re-directs or shorten URLs. If you publish to preview only, the page publishes overnight so very difficult to work on pages and put them into the review.

Easy to use & stellar customer service
Overall, our experience has been very positive. It is a pleasure to use the software and all interactions with customer service are great.
PROSWe switched from another educational website software company mostly because it was so difficult and cumbersome to use. Catapult is so user-friendly, making updates is very easy. And the customer service is amazing, every time. So responsive.
CONSOnly one editor can publish a section at a time. Doesn't integrate well with google calendar. The horizontal banner is sometimes difficult when formatting images in the space.
Reason for choosing CatapultCMS
user-friendly, pricing, customer service
Reasons for switching to CatapultCMS
Old software was not user-friendly, with restrictive templates, funky text formatting.

Great website and content management tool
Communicating seamlessly and timely with all stakeholders in a way that they can all access.
PROSCatapultCMS is intuitive and easy to use. Users can easily edit and add to their websites. The integration with mass notification and an app creates a powerful and integrated communication platform.
CONSThere could be more robust editing tools and it would be easier if all subpages were linked to the main page rather than having to link them as an external website. This would also make it easier to link the subpages back to the home page.
Reason for choosing CatapultCMS
Cost, features, support, felt like my business meant something to Catapult, desire to listen to and hear feedback.
