    OptimizePress Review 2018: Is The New And Updated OptimizePress Plugin Good?

    It has been awhile since I did the OptimizePress review and honestly, the old version of OptimizePress is definitely not worth the money when compared to many OptimizePress alternatives in the market.

    Recently, OptimizePress released an all new version which is said to be a game changer. Let’s dive in and see what the new and updated OptimizePress has to offer, shall we?

    Everything Under One Roof

    Instead of having multiple WordPress plugins for landing page, lead generation, optin form, sales page and webinar registration, the new OptimizePress allows you to create everything under one roof. No. More. Hassle.

    Intuitive Drag And Drop Builder

    This is the gem in the new OptimizePress. OptimizePress 1.0 and 2.0 is horror especially when it comes to building a page or blog from scratch. With Thrive Architect and Divi hot on the development end, OptimizePress has lost the battle even before they started. The new and updated OptimizePress offers a more intuitive backend WYSIWYG editor and the timing cannot be any more timely than this!

    Ready-Made Templates

    OptimizePress is bundled with over 60 templates included, and with the OptimizePress Marketplace you have over 300 templates available to purchase. As bloggers, website designers and website developers, having ready-made templates is Godly because it helps to fuel ideas. At the same time, imagine how much time you can save when you can easily import these ready-made templates in just a few clicks.
