It has ready-made templates, all you need to do is to use the template on your liking. Drag-and-drop, it’s really easy to navigate and customize your Lead Magnet. > > **Cons**: Because I mentioned that the Pros of Beacon is for a quick idea lead magnet creation, the con for Beacon is you still need a great Designer or Illustrator or both if you want the most highly-valuable Content on your disposal. The limited templates for Beacon is simple and plain because it’s intended to be like that so that you don't think very hard to design your Lead Magnet. > > Easy and Reliable Lead Magnet Creator ----- ### "The Complete Lead Magnet System from Design to Download" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 November 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Beacon have thought carefully about the whole lead magnet journey from design to how to make downloading them easier for the end user. I've not seen any other platform that offers such as complete solution to creating lead magnets and getting them to convert. > > **Cons**: Some of the design options on the lead magnet forms are a bit limited but I've no doubt more templates are on the way. > > So far it's solved a massive headache and road block in my online business. ----- ### "Slow to start, but they're ramping it up" — 3.0/5 > **Nate** | *17 September 2018* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The features they offer, from better design functionality to hosting your e books on their site with built in interaction metrics makes this platform pretty nice. They have a few templates available to help improve design and their feature of transposing old blog posts into ebooks can save you a little time during the design phase. > > **Cons**: Despite some of these great features listed in the pros section, it's not quite put together. Our company has been with them for a while and we can see that they have made huge improvements, which is why we stick with them. from a design perspective, things still feel "box-ey" but that is getting better. Within the next year or so, I would expect them to have a very smooth interface that solves a lot of the problems we have experienced in the past. > > While it may not be 100% competitive with some of the competing services out there, it's getting closer. ----- ### "Amazing Tool to Create and Distribute Lead Magnets and Ebooks" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 October 2018* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Greatly simplifies the process of creating documents that are (easily) shareable, attractively laid out, and prompt action. It has many templates and layouts which can be further customized to reflect your brand colors and logo. The sharing is done through a link to the document which is hosted on Beacon's server. It allows the creator to (optionally) allow the document to also be downloaded as a PDF. The created documents are mobile responsive but has some quirks. > > **Cons**: A bit hard to use and get used to but much, much, much easier than other competing products out there. The product has some quirks and potentially some bugs that make the document creation process a bit tedious. Having your own private domain is offered only as an upgrade. Mobile responsiveness is pretty good but has some ways to go. (For example, the social sharing icons interfere with the readability.) > > Even if you have existing content, converting that content into shareable documents \*should\* be easy, but it's not. Beacon takes away much of the frustration out of creating a shareable ebook and gives you some great tools to make the end result attractive, and easy to share. ----- ### "Beacon Lights the Way Home" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *23 January 2019* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: My first experience with Beacon came as they were primarily describing the product as a quick and easy way to produce a "lead magnet"—those free books, reports, infographics and the like that websites offer their visitors in exchange for their email addresses. Beacon has since expanded to offer basic leadpage design as well as the inline ads that offer those "magnetic freebies." When designing, say, an ebook, the software can pull in your various blog posts and offer a way to repurpose that content reasonably painlessly using a growing collection of templates. > > **Cons**: Beacon's initial emphasis on production of lead magnets seemed to make it a bit of a "one-hit wonder," and the initial offering of templates was limited, but as they've expanded I am happy to report they have added features—including leadpages—and made good on their promise to keep adding valuable templates. > > A product like Beacon works best with a custom domain—a branded website you own that offers a professional polish rather than a goofy and convoluted URL. I was delighted to find their custom domain option works very well—and seems to resolve much more quickly than some other software solutions that also utilize custom domains. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/143783/beacon?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/143783/beacon) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
