Very happy with my choice – It really is easy to use, yet versatile
-
Product: MY STICKY ELEMENTS PRO After examining different choices and briefly trying another product, I am happy that I landed upon myStickyElements Pro.
While I hate having to tinker and wrestle with a plugin, I also want it to be malleable, changeable. That must be a tall order to program. But for me this myStickyElements Pro ticks both boxes perfectly.
I wanted to get a secure, stylish contact widget and contact form for my business site. Being your random office worker and entrepreneur I don’t have coding skills, time or pep for tinkering.
Setting up a contact widget that lets customers either call me with a click of a button (if they’re browsing with a phone) or getting my phone number and email – all the while hiding my phone and email from bots, was done in a whiff.
Setting up a contact form took a little longer, as I did one in three languages. But it was straightforward and simple to create.
Setting up a customer choices dropdown menu for the customer to choose their interest (or product or whatever) from was easy and fun. -That was not what I expected, I was prepared for a trial and error wrestling match with the software. Did not happen!
Using an useful little eye dropper software Color Picker Plus I read the colour codes of my website, and made the colours of myStickyElements Pro widget match those, and to my eye the result is elegant: users notice the widget, but it is not an eyesore, not a distraction.
Although everything I wanted myStickyElements Pro to do, was easy to do, I wanted to ask the widget makers about possibility of connecting this product to MailChimp or some such email list system in the future.
The folks at myStickyElements Pro support answered to my questions swiftly, and also in a personal kind of way. Even though these questions were outside of their remit, not their problem to be frank. It felt nice, and helped me a lot.
Now I know I can connect mtStickyElements Pro with MailChimp or equivalent, to create a customer email address and phone list.
Creating that will be my next project, but first I’ll have to read about the customer data GDPR-notice and whatnot, that I have to put in my web page, as the EU law requires, if I do collect user information on my site.
One negative thing I have found: the NAME of the plugin:
myStickyElements PRO is a bugger to type, and even more difficult to remember. Write the name down, as you will forget it in 7 seconds. I strongly suggest the widget company to change the name. Name it “Marvin next door“, “The happy hyrax“, “The three princes from Istanbul“, “Selma 7000” or “The orange rabbit farting pink apples” – just name it something easy to remember, and WITHOUT using CamelType WorDS iNThe nAMe. Please! ??
Anyways, there seems to be an ever-expanding plethora of WordPress plugins.
I’m taking the time to write this review hoping it will save somebody else time, them not having to spend hours trawling information for the best plugin to take care of certain menu actions, contact forms etc.
This one is the best one I did find.
And when taking the time to write a review I do hope other folks will write helpful reviews about other plugins I will be looking for, for whatever purposes in the future.
FWIW, I do not know the folks who procreated this plugin, I paid it with my own money, and I consider the price well worth the purchase.
The plugin is fun to use, and seems to work perfectly the way I set it up to work. And as far as programming etc goes, I am an über-layman, the antithesis of a computer wizard.
Congrats on reading all that. I hope it will save you a lot of time and effort in the long run, as well as money.
May WordPress treat you, your site and visitors well! May myStickyElements pro help you with that, and may myStickyElements Pro be renamed immediamente!
