Testimonials

Thank you for this wonderful product! It is beautiful and it is perfect for my portfolio.
I'm currently building my new website with IO200 and wanted to take this opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU. The CMS is really great. I've also tried various others (Drupal, Wordpress, Squarespace...) and none of them really appealed to me. I am endlessly thrilled. Thank you for your work!
You did a great job creating such an amazing and user friendly platform. I really like it. Easy to use and covers everything a photographer may ask. Really appreciate that...
I really love your software, it's why I buy it.
Thank you for building such a great platform.
I've been working with IO200 for one and a half years now and I'm very happy with it. It is much clearer than WordPress and offers many good options for displaying your photos, which is the most important thing for me as a photographer. The operation is clear and tidy, just as a program should be! A big thank you
I am delighted with IO200 and have already recommended it to friends and even set it up for them.
Congratulations, you designed a very minimalist, rich, and clear backend and GUI!
I'd like to thank you a million times for creating this amazing high-performance platform as I've been on a long and painful road of exploring self-hosted alternatives to websites such as Pixieset. I've tried dozens of expensive WordPress plugins, Joomla, Piwigo, etc. and they don't come even close in performance and feature set.
I'm really fond of IO200. It works flawlessly.
The system is very intuitive to use and offers great templates. Super!
I have been playing with IO200 lately and I really like it - it's easy to use and it's fast. Exactly what I was hoping for. Many thanks for your hard work on it!
I'm an enthusiastic IO200 user.
Your system looks very good, thank you for developing it!
I would like to congratulate you on creating a superb photo portfolio site software! Kudos! Also migration from Koken is a huge plus!
A huge shout out to you and your team on this CMS, the installation/migration is straightforward and painless and the tool itself is all we can expect from a portfolio CMS. I like how easy it is to use and maintain with this data model that you kept simple.
Thanks for this amazing CMS! I was very sad with Koken's end but IO200 is even better.
I want to say thank you for making such a great tool. I was looking for a long time to try and find the right tool to build my portfolio with and I'm glad that I had found IO200.
