I need your help making it even better Description: Mandy here. Back in January, I sent you a survey. The goal was to learn how we could do a better job conveying Replica's value to people who haven't given us a shot yet. After reading over 1200 responses (you rock), we built this new site. A major theme throughout your responses is that Replica does two things better than other backdrop companies: 1. We help you create the most beautiful content 2. We make that process incredibly easy. As you explore the new website, you'll see your word-for-word quotes, suggestions, and that "beautiful/easy" concept come to life. But I'm sure it could be better. That's where you come in. If you have a few minutes, it would mean a lot if you could: First, watch this video from me to you. It's under 2.5 minutes. Explore the website. Spend as much or little time as you want. Take this quick survey about your experience. I want to know the good, the bad, and the buggy. https://q5qnra6u6ui.typeform.com/websiteupdate We couldn't have built Replica without you. I can't wait to make the website even better with your feedback.
