@bsradcliffe Why is that, Ben? 🤔

@decu @bsradcliffe Hey Ben, I can see where you are coming from. We have lots of hybrid Designers using Semplice mostly because it's perfect for customizing it further. You can quickly build something in a visual way, and then add your custom CSS or Javascript to it. Page wide, or individually to each page. You can also embed your own code anywhere on the side (code module) and you can even define your own CSS class names for every element on the page, so you can later target it better via some custom CSS. (and then of course, it's WordPress, you can deep dive into the files as well) But trust me, I'm not trying to convince you here. But we're working on a little one pager explaining it a bit more why many hybrid design/devs like it so much. PS: As a Designer you should know that this is not Times New Roman (:

@decu @vanschneider ... or maybe you check your fontchecker @bsradcliffe 🙄 http://jmp.sh/7SbVqWg

@decu @bsradcliffe @justin_schueler Could be some caching/loading issues, should be Miller Display.

@faisal_hassanx Fixed it for you Faisal! ✌🏼

@nucro We're on it Orçun! Hope to be able to give you something like a demo soon.

@semplice @vanschneider Best of luck for this new version! Already seen it in use, amazing job as always :)

@vanschneider really love the feature with editing for each breakpoint! This will help a lot when making websites for mobile 👌

@3raxton Hey Braxton, great questions you have there! 1. We do, if you send a valid copy (photo or scan) of your student ID to help@semplice.com we get you covered! 2. Yes that is correct, Semplice is self hosted, so any webhost that runs WordPress will also run Semplice. If you need help with some hosting recommendations, we can help you with that as well, but I'm sure you have your own preferences already. 3. This is honestly up to you really, if you like to self host and build your layout completely from scratch, then I'd say Semplice is a good option. The idea with Semplice basically was that you already have a design/layout sketched out, or even fully designed and you're looking for a tool that can help you execute and launch it. Semplice is just for that, which is why we don't have any presets or templates, you literally start with a blank canvas and go from there. But in the end, we're always telling everyone to use whatever suits them best, obviously I'm biased because I use Semplice for pretty much everything. I hope this answered your questions, if you have more or want to get more into detail, shoot us a quick email at help@semplice.com and we got you!

@vanschneider There is one last thing I just thought about. Do you have a trial version? If not, is there a outline of when one is to come in the future?

@3raxton Hey Braxton, we're thinking about setting one up in the future. (it's a bit more difficult due to the nature of the product, but we will try!)

@vanschneider of both options, which would you recommend and why if you're not trying to sell Semplice?

@exlemor I'd say that's a genius marketing technique by @vanschneider. It just a WordPress theme with page Builder :D But they never advertised as it is.

@vanschneider @surjithctly If that's true, highly misleading, borderline unethical - and putting people in the mess that WP on the allure of something awesome doesn't ring great.

@dainiskanopa Hey Dainis, thank you so much for your support, this is highly appreciated and your question is a valid one. To be honest, we could do it without WordPress, but we're fans of the open source platform and we like WordPress as a product. Even though we're not the biggest fan of the bloated backend (which we attempt to fix with Semplice) - We do love the open source community around it, and we like that you can still make use of many WordPress features while using Semplice such as certain plugins, user roles, continues security updates from a huge community and so on. Overall we love WordPress, which is why we chose it as our underlying system. I hope this answered your question as good as possible.
