I just finished my first Perch website, which I’ll refrain from posting a link to since I’ve literally beat it to death on this forum. I’m about to start a second Perch site and retrofit a third. I’m just curious to see how many Freeway pro users have embraced Perch for their CMS needs.
I’d also love to see a few examples of what you were able to do with FWP and Perch.
A quick word of warning. I’m battling with my first Perch website ad its not going well. A slightly more unusual set up than norm perhaps, its on a windows dedicated server running Plesk.
Perch say their cms runs on windows but in this case everything is fine except I’m completely unable to upload images or pdf’s, so not entirely true.
The server company initially said it was a Perch issue and Perch indicated a server issue, I on the other hand believe it a Plesk issue, quite a few forum mentions.
The server company did try to resolve the issue under initial free support but made it worse, I couldn’t even login to perch. They are now asking for a substantial wadge of money as its a 'managed by client ’ server, I’m reluctant to do so as their first attempts were useless. Given they (experts) couldn’t resolve the issue how they expect anyone else too.
They aren’t very quick to reply to emails now or by phone. So I’m stuck in the middle feeling the server ‘isn’t fit for purpose’. And of course no website which will be off air this weekend. AAAaaaagh !!!
The support from Perch has been good, a level of brevity that’s almost impressive.
