It functions on the bleeding-edge. And for it to work I can only imagine the effort put in to stay ahead of the curve. An exponential curve too.
Not really a 'dislike' but the cost. You get what you pay for and I'd worry if the fee went down, honestly.
I've lost count of the amount of NDAs I've signed so specifics are difficult. What I can say is three of Forbe's top 100 companies keep paying me!
The multiple build format provided by Oxygen is impressive. The multiple transformation scenarios. Very description alerts, errors and warnings. XSLT debugger and associated stylesheet. The integration between the parallel projects is amazing. The option to validate multiple projects in one go. Cost effective.
The editor window can be smoother. The windows have nested panes and too many drop options on the tabs listed. The long list overflows onto the editor. Increase the number of tabs and optimum options for practical usage of the tool. They grey and black UI. The congested options present on the DITA Maps manager. Online Help content is unavailable. Cloud storage can be available.
We had a problem with multiple documents on multiple platforms. Oxygen solved the problem by providing a one dashboard solution. Structured Authoring. We used DitaExchange earlier which was very slow. Oxygen is DITA based and quick. It supports varied output formats for the same project. It also solved the problem of cost.
The cleanliness of the code, meaning better loading speed.
It feels still a bit rough, as in, there aren't as many possibilities as with, for example, Webflow. Still an amazing WordPress solution that I bet will continue to grow.
Better loading speed for all websites I now create. Easy editing when clients request changes due to the CSS system.
The flexibility of upgrading the plans without any extra charges is great. The assurance comes from the 60 days money back policy. Moreover, the add-on of composite elements to any plan is great.
As till now, there is nothing to downscale the offers and plans. As it is having a no-question money refund policy, the brand is surely confident about it's deliverance and it is good.
The unlimited site license and it is usable for the website of clients as well. That is the solution for my business which I was looking for in an affordable budget.
Reduces the requirement for front-end tooling as the css and js can be entered directly via the Oxygen builder. The ability to have re-usable classes on elements is priceless and the option for custom CSS stylesheets is great for sitewide resets and styles. I'd recommend you know CSS and JS to use this builder as it hinges on knowing what the CSS selectors and styles do / how they behave. I come from a dev background so this is a plus for me as it works how I like to work without hiding away the code.
There are some quirks with the editor and it needs a decent web host to run properly (the builder in the backend that is, the front-end always works pretty well if you know what you're doing)- version 4 seems to have made some good speed differences. A couple of companion plugins and everything is covered (form plugin, image optimisation, custom fields etc) within the WP admin area.
Streamlining the design and development of WordPress websites. Reduces the time required to go from design to a working website and ensures the future flexibility and repeatability of styles within a website.
The thing I like best about Oxygen is it allows one to create all effects on a website within the click of buttons, like animations and scroll ups, etc
While the basic features are automated using buttons, for more professional design changes one needs to make a change in the code which I feel can be more comfortable if put through to buttons
Oxygen helped my business to build a website with minimal help from any expensive software developer. It has templates that allowed me to pre install a commercial buying theme for my purpose - sale of my products
Easy usability for a non-developer and a vibrant community.
Pricing can be made a little flexible to suit all types of customers.
I am using oxygen as a writer to create portfolios. I do not depend on a third-party developer to create such sites.
