I am the web-editor of an International Women's NGO, Safe World for Women.

We started using RAXO All-mode Pro almost right from the beginning when we built our webzine.

In the early days there were a few teething problems which were quickly solved in a very personal and friendly manner by the developers.

We use the product extensively on our website and will continue to do so.

We appreciate the upgrades we are sent and more than that, if ever there is a problem we have the direct email of the customer service and get friendly and quick responses to any questions.

This extension is very powerful in terms of being able to allow a professional developer to create quality content on their site.

Highly recommended

Wonderful and Excellent Follow Up

This module gave me so many options to give professional look to my website. I played with default css files a little and I very well achieved what I was trying to do. Its fairly simple and straight forward yet very powerful. I was struggling with images/thumbnails and then I got mail with updated version which seems to address that. Awesome!!

Don't get it if you don't know css

I'm sure the extension can be great and all, but don't buy it if you have no knowledge of css. I paid for this extension and wish I hadn't because is not just sitting there. I don't even know how to start and there is no documentation that can guide you there.

Owner's reply: Why do you write this untruth? The module has 3 built-in templates with professional design and ready CSS. Any of these templates you can use right after purchase without any knowledge of CSS. 70-80% of our customers use our templates without changes on their sites. Also we started producing additional templates for those who doesn't want or cannot make them themselves.
If you're forced to change design to yours very strictly - yes, you should know CSS, the same is true for any other module. Great feature of our module is that changing design is simple, easy and convenient and requires just basic knowledge of css.
If you need documentation - go to Customer support and Tutorials on forum. If you had questions why didn't you contact our support team. We help every single person who asks.

Fantastic Support never received this level of service from any other Module provider

Wow, what support, as a newbe using Joomla, Lisa from Raxo, has helped me all the way with outstanding support and received emails making sure that I get the help needed.

Fantastic Module, Fantastic Support, thank you RAXO

We’ve een using this Module for a few weeks and it’s so easy to customise.

We’ve just bought the additional pagination and it’s great.

If you request additional features they will look into adding it, it may be in the form of an update or a feature rich addition, but they try their best!

Unlike some free plug-ins where we’ve emailed for support and got nothing back, RAXO support is the best, they are very quick to get back and any issues are quickly resolved.

We highly recommend it.

Best module

Yahoo! The update is just groovy! And very substantial. Particularly I like your smart title limitation function and “hide module on articles pages” option. Keep up this awesome work!

CSS knowledge required

Posted on 05 June 2010

This extension has a clean look, and is great for a basic-only setup and style out of the box. However, if you want to change the look and style, CSS knowledge is required. Almost all changes to the look and styling must be done in CSS. So, if you want your module to look cool and stylish like the examples in the screenshots, you'll will need to know how to code in CSS.

high quality module

[14:35:06] Alena Mikhan: Have no idea who is not happy and what is wrong. Nice module, works great. It even exceeded my expectation, as i wasn't sure if I would be able to modify it for my peculiar demands (i have bad experience with some other modules and was skeptical about this one). It turned out to be quite clear and easy and it gets easier as you go. Keep up good job. And my free advice - just make more templates so everybody becomes happy.
