CDO Magazine is acclaimed for its premium content delivery. The platform necessitates a high-caliber page builder that enhances the presentation of its articles to ensure a flawless user experience. The team encountered issues working with their CMS. Furthermore, the magazine's global audience suffered from its poor user interface. The front end wasn’t promising enough for the readers to read the content. 

‍Main Hurdles Faced by CDO Team

CDO magazine was working on BLOX CMS. They have encountered persistent technical challenges in the CMS and front-end user interface. The technical glitches reported to BLOX CMS remained unaddressed for an extended period, leading to a significant decline in user count. 

Furthermore, the company's workforce is globally dispersed, underscoring the necessity for an uninterrupted workflow. However, BLOX CMS encountered impediments in its operational execution, leading to inefficiencies within its processes.

The team found a gradual decline in traffic and understood that the front end was performing poorly. They were worried about their loyal user base. The CDO team faced technical glitches while working in BLOX CMS, so poor user interface emerged as a serious concern.

The technical complaint tickets to BLOX have been unattended for several days, creating many technical issues for the team. Broken workflows have emerged as top concerns, marking a considerable obstacle to growth and sustainability. 

The editorial board has decided to switch to a robust CMS and page builder solution that promises enhanced content management and user experience to deliver quality content to their global audience.

The Quintype team has recognized that CDO Magazine has encountered numerous challenges with its current Content Management System (CMS), including technical difficulties, a subpar user interface, inadequate customer support, and inefficient workflow processes. In response, the team has resolved to propose their Quintype BOLD CMS and page builder as a solution to address these issues.

Quintype BOLD CMS is explicitly designed to meet the ever-evolving content creation demands. The products enhance the user experience and help brands captivate a wider audience.

We understand the importance of a streamlined workflow and user experience (UX). That is why our team is dedicated to working hand-in-hand with CDO Magazine, meticulously addressing every query and fine-tuning our features to optimize performance. 

We crafted our product with attention to detail. The Quintype team promised CDO magazine that all the issues they have discussed will be sorted out, and the traffic that has declined due to BLOX's poor user interface will bounce back.

The strategic shift to Quintype aims to improve workflow management, provide a better UI experience, restore loyal user growth, and reinforce the platform's market position.

CDO magazine has selected two of the industry's trending quintype products: “BOLD,” the AI-powered Newsroom CMS solution, and “Ahead,” a no-code website builder. The News CMS has effortlessly accommodated the escalating demands for content creation, while the no-code website builder has elevated user satisfaction, expanding the user base.

After the seamless transition to Quintype, CDO experienced a surge in traffic, and all their problems were resolved.
