I've been using this absolutely exciting extension for a number of years alredy, but always omited to express my enthusiasm about it. It is really a sole exception in the endless jungle of not functioning systems for presenting of articles (and, believe me, I've tried a lot!).

Every website needs this module

I've been using RAXO all-mode module for some years now on many websites. It saves so much trouble. It automatically creates a nice module with lots of presets for your aticles i.e. date settings, image cropping and resizing, customized templates, number and source of articles. I love this! Support is fast and very helpful.

I happy to use it

I bought the Raxo for K2 module a few months ago and it was absolutely awesome, worked a treat, and does exactly what it says it will do. As the module has been upgraded, I receive regular emails from the team with the updated modules and extensions and can't say enough great things about them. Well done on a great resource and Thank You for the great service and attention.

Just great

Been using RAXO for 4 years now and planning to uses the last version on my redesign j3.x website (A medium size web site with 100,000 unique visits per month). IT's a very flexible module (and with responsive templates )with lost of features and it's easy to customize it for your own needs and design.

Fair.

Raxo delievers a really brillant solution, with options a few - if any - other extensions are capable of.

But ... In sites with a high number of categories and articles, the module fails and becomes useless - because it makes the site load magnificent slower. We discovered this, while our site grew bigger.

For smaller sites, it is still a good and well looking module. It's easy to adjust the CSS, too.

Owner's reply: Lots of our clients who successfully use this module on huge sites definitely won't agree with you.

Sooner or later any big and popular site requires performance optimization. When this moment came for your site, all you needed to do was to contact support. We have several forum topics devoted to this issue and friendly Joomla experts who are always ready to help. Whenever a problem occurs, it can and must be solved.

In your review you openly praise our module: "really brilliant solution, with options a few - if any - other extensions are capable of" and "well looking module". Sounds like "six stars out of five", but you give one of the lowest scores. Looks strange and unfair.

Top quality product and support

Five star product and support. I was having problems getting the module to work on one of my development sites. RAXO sent me the later version, still no luck. Finally I sent them a link to the site and they spotted the problem straight away - there was a tilde ~ in the temporary server URL.

I changed it and presto, all worked perfectly!

Excellent solution as well as support :)

Best Article Display Ever!

Best Article and Graphics display EVER!

I have been using it since 2011 and I had only pleasant surprises.

Make it running in seconds, and have all your articles displayed with their graphics in nice clean business list, portfolio, thumbnails, any way you want it!

Quick and easy to setup, but also great for half-developers and developers you can edit any parameter of the frontend look.

Works smooth like nothing else, I'm running it on a website that loads 100+ articles and graphics on front site. Thanks to All-Mode Pro, that happens in 2,5 seconds.

I dealt with many plugin/component/module developers, from many countries, and I really recommend RAXO.

Best support ever:

- How do you know if your RAXO plugin has been updated? - Because you already have it on your email, seconds after they developed it!

- Issues with payments, loyalty discounts, invoice correction, EU VAT Invoices... RAXO will fix any issues in matter of minutes.

Just bought 2 new products from RAXO, already love them!

Highly recommend this product!

Real product
