Great for community engagement and building your own course corner or the world

You can create and build anything you want here. It has all the great fundamentals for starting and advancing. In all honesty, you could purchase today and enter your course, community, or database, in time to present tomorrow. I like the simplicity of giving access to downloads free or paid. If you are looking for a platform to make your own, then this is it!

Almost perfect

After playing around with Forento for about a week-or-so now, I believe it is safe to say that this platform was thoughtfully created.

Pros:
+ It quite possibly has everything you may need out of a platform from the front-end website builder to the course builder.
+ A big plus point that the team replies very fast when you reach out to them for any questions.
+ I was very glad to find out that I could upload my own fonts to keep with my branding. Same goes for being able to use your brand colors.
+ The website builder is very customizable that leaves a lot of leg room for your creativity.

Cons:
- Only Stripe and PayPal can be used right out gate. The fix for this is to get an add-on that allows you to collect payment using other payment methods, but then you will need another integration tool (Zapier) to automate the workflow. It seems a little too much. If you could just make available more payment method integrations, this could easily be fixed, I think, since (from what I can tell from previous reviews) it's not paying Forento the commission that's the problem but the availability of other payment integrations.
- Perhaps my biggest complaint is that you cannot change the currency for your courses / products / sessions / etc. until and unless you have integrated your Stripe or PayPal account. I think this should be one of the easy, intuitive parts of the platform which, unfortunately, is not. I fail to understand the need to integrate Stripe / PayPal prior just so I can list the price of my course / services in our local currency especially if it is only for cosmetics. (1) Not everyone trades in USD; (2) Not everyone has access to Stripe or PayPal; (3) Not everyone has interest in using either Stripe or PayPal.

Overall, would still definitely recommend the platform especially if you are not particular about the payment methods or changing your currency.

Has the right features, but they need to be fleshed out.

Forento appears to have a number of useful features built into the platform. For example, outside of courses you can create communities, sell paid content/subscriptions etc.

My concern, however, is that they don't appear to have put much thought into the user interface. The course pages look like something I would have seen in the days of the Netscape browser. Also, the process to purchase courses needs some UX improvements.

Beyond the above concerns, the team hasn't really provided any substantial updates so users are in the dark.

Offer memberships
✅ Stay in touch with my customers through posts, and do so in a privacy-friendly way, without advertising.
✅ and on and on...

I am very happy about this deal and thank the Forento team. ❤️🦸‍♀️❤️ I can't wait to see what comes next.

Super easy to use.

Forento is really easy to use. I mean, my wife and i created a 2 courses this weekend. We are very happy with all current features and with some upcoming new ones. We are just begining to use Forente and we are really enjoying it. Telling all of our teamates about it. Definetly is one of the best purchases i made in the last years.

I you are trying to get your courses up and running in no time, Forento is for you. All our classmates are having a hard time trying to use hotmart or even Moodle. Not us. We finished and completed our course in less than 2 hours, both courses.

Thank you Adrian. Support is great.
