We've been searching for a developer with a robust CMS and an eye for design. We found it in Smallbox. They delivered on every detail of our design and our client is thrilled with the intuitive CMS. --- Paul Ratchford, Principal Clear Space Design & Communications |

Smallbox you are amazing! Our previous website was not only years out of date, but our previous developer was holding us hostage! Every time we wanted to so much as change a sentence we had to track him down, spell out the change, wait (and wait and wait) for a response – often correct mistakes made in the posting – and then finally, pay a whacking big bill. I also had experience building a website with WordPress – that was a lot cheaper than hiring a developer, but the software was not easy to use, there was no support available and often the end product looked less than professional. By contrast the Smallbox content management system is so easy to use – it’s fun. If these old experiences registered around 2 out of 10 – this one is a 200! Smallbox are super-responsive, and ultra-helpful. They partnered with us to finalize our design and were available with suggestions (and hand holding) during the development stage. For the few problems that have arisen, Smallbox uses an online ticketing system which they manage very well – most fixes happen within 24 hours! During development and now that the site is up, we have control over all our content (words, images and videos) and it’s so easy to keep it current. When I want to make a change it happens in a matter of minutes – not weeks - and the only cost is my time. I wish we’d made the switch years ago! I would recommend Smallbox to anyone who wants, needs or is daydreaming about a website. Not only is our new site informative, comprehensive and up-to-date site - it’s beautiful!
--- | Smallbox CMS is a great publishing platform and a perfect fit for the city's website. The easy-to-use interface enables us to keep our citizens up to date on what's happening and empowers our staff to manage their own sections of the site. --- Ashleigh Young, City of New Westminster | |
The Children's Festival uses Smallbox CMS to power our website and eNewsletter and it’s terrific! The CMS software is so easy to use. We don’t need to learn any complicated HTML programming and can make changes in-house so our website is always current without the need for additional staff or outsourcing. --- Miriam Shostak Vancouver International Children's Festival | In 2001, Muze Creative was one of the first design studios to build its online portfolio utilizing Smallbox CMS software technology. We have not only continued to use the product but also recommend it to many of our clients. The product has always been reliable and calls to Smallbox technicians are typically asking how we can push the boundaries – we are never disappointed. We continued to receive compliments on the original site right up until our new launch in 2009. --- Carol Hyland Muze Creative, Partner | |
Thanks for the great job by Smallbox on our website, getting the results up so quickly and dealing with the post event traffic onslaught! Well done. --- Daryl Doyle, Chair Vancouver International Marathon Society | Smallbox CMS is an easy content management system that enables us to update our site from anywhere. The enewsletter module is integral to our business and allows us to directly communicate with a subscriber base in the thousands on a bi-weekly basis. It delivers customers to our door at virtually no incremental cost. --- Jim Ulcickas, Proprietor Bluewater Grill Restaurant | |
Smallbox CMS is already great, but version 5 with its revealing interface and more rational menu is promising when it comes to workflow. Using Smallbox frees us up and provides the right amount of client access to facilitate response time. --- Paul Tetrault, MGDC T E T R O D E S I G N | What can I say? I've been using Smallbox for over 6 years and it just keeps getting better and better. Its always been easy to use for non-web-savvy users, but the interface is now smoother and more intuitive, and the tools are getting more sophisticated so you can have more control over typographic details, links and embedded images. I consider it for every web project I do. --- Matt Warburton, Principal Emdoubleyu Design | |
We’re pleased with the SB CMS v5. It’s a very intuitive interface with enhanced operational features that make the daily management of our websites easy to do. The system is customisable and can work well for both small and large sites. --- Brooke van Mossel-Forrester, Communications Officer Icograda | Smallbox gave me the set of tools I needed to get my design firm's new website up and running quickly and professionally. Where it used to take hours to rework pages, and it was difficult to find the time to update our online portfolio, it now takes literally only a few seconds to update. --- Shelley Penner, Director of Practice Penner & Associates | |
Smallbox was right on par with other CMS providers in terms of cost, but the functionality and user interface were far superior. --- Kelly Parkatti, Program and Communications Manager Green College, The University of British Columbia | As one of the web content persons for the BC Film Commission, I have found the Smallbox solution to be a great asset. It provides relative neophytes with direct access to content on the website without having to pay high-priced developers to make minor content changes. A 'reel' asset to our operation. --- Gordon Hardwick, Manager, Community Affairs BC Film Commission | |
The Smallbox toolset allows anyone to REALLY utilize their website. No more waiting for the techno-wizards, just do it yourself. Instantly!! --- Matt Warburton, Past President GDC Society of Graphic Designers of Canada | Managing our website is no longer an intimidating and time consuming task. 'The Box' rocks! Thank you! --- Scott Parfitt, General Manager Go Rowing and Paddling Association of Canada | |
I liked how you made my only task designing and you have good systems in place that let me focus on what I am good at. --- Andi Mortenson, Principal | Epic Design |
