Extremely well crafted component + amazing support



Posted on 24 March 2022
Functionality
We searched + purchased about five other gallery components and none of them compared to the flexibility of the Ignite Gallery.
Ease of use
Batch functions (upload, categorize and tag) are by far the best features to make the component easy to use. Easily add custom fields also!
Support
Matt + his team were so gracious with their time to ensure that our client got what they were looking for from the component.
Documentation
Very detailed, but easy to follow. The documentation was really helpful to everything up and running.
Value for money
Hands down, one of the best purchases for the functionalities offered. No question.
I used this to: A very complex and large gallery of microscope images that needed advanced filtering capabilities.

Significant gallery extension.

Functionality
Had an image problem looking for the right solution. The extension's optional choices/functionality offered a number of welcome solutions.
Ease of use
After a brief familiarization and viewing the support material, install and use was relatively straight forward.
Support
Limited need for direct contact as the comprehensive and detailed support videos provide most if not all that one would need.
Documentation
The developer's web site has a comprehensive and detailed amount of support material
Value for money
Very much so. There are an ever increasing mix of extensions available however this one has some particular attributes that suited my need.
I used this to: One particular site has a mix of gallery extensions and a slider or two, each purchased for a particular attribute and this extension gives me layout flexibility not readily available in similar products.

Ignite is On Fire!

Functionality
I'm using it to post sport event dumps. Adding tags to photos and then filtering galleries by those tags is easy. Bulk uploads are easy.
Ease of use
Really easy to use. I haven't customized it much as the default settings work nicely.
Support
Matt was very prompt & helpful when I had a question. He had just released a version for Joomla 4 -should have been way too busy. 5-stars!
Documentation
I have a knack for doing things wrong, so I've had to bother Matt via support a couple of times for things I couldn't find in the support.
Value for money
high functionality, multiple websites, really high value. Low cost = low risk. I don't think I'll outgrow it any time soon.
I used this to: Managing and posting galleries of pix (and occasional Youtube videos) across multiple websites.

Works straight out of the box! Has everything you could think of !
Ease of use
Perfect ... So easy to use ... can't say any more! Apparently I didn't say enough ... so I'll just say it again ... Perfect!
Support
Amazing ... I had a question about one aspect and Matt got back to me incredibly fast with a polite and friendly solution - top bloke!
Documentation
The video tutorials Matt has put together makes it impossible to make a mistake - can't fault him here at all !
Value for money
I don't like spending money ... this is the best investment I made for my revamped website in many years!
I used this to: My photography website, I needed a way to show off my images and allow visitors to share them on social media ... Ignite Gallery has so many features that I had to give it a go - not at all disappointed ... I would recommend it to wholeheartedly :D

Excellent, clean extension with amazing support

This combines all of the features I liked in other galleries, but without the bloat (i.e. potential conflicts with other extensions).
Ease of use
After trying many gallery extensions, this was a bit different (it's the nature of extensions), but I was up and running in minutes.
Support
Above and beyond! I emailed support on a Tuesday afternoon and had a very detailed and thoughtful response by Wednesday morning.
Documentation
Due to its simplicity, It doesn't need much documentation, but what I did use was very helpful.
Value for money
I'm 100% pleased with my small, but hugely helpful purchase. The fast support alone was worth the price.
I used this to: I use this for my graphic/web design portfolio on my website, but plan on using it any time I need a gallery for any of my clients.

A wonderfull component



Posted on 16 March 2020
Functionality
Ignite Gallery is a flexible component with 6 different gallery layouts. It has many options and allows you to create galleries quickly.
Ease of use
Ignite Gallery is easy to set and Matt's support will solve any problem of yours.
Support
Support works very well and is fast. Mr Matt has a lot of patience and does everything to satisfy the customer's needs.
Documentation
Some videos and guides are available. They are a good support. You'll not need a lot of documentation because the component is easy to set.
Value for money
Ignite Gallery has an excellent quality - price ratio. The price is $ 25; it is very honest for everything Ignite Gallery will give you.
I used this to: I build several different galleries types. It would be nice if Matt developed other galleries layouts. But already so Ignite Gallery is fabulous!

Best full-featured gallery at any price



Posted on 24 September 2019
Functionality
Ignite Gallery has the most complete feature set for my needs out of every other gallery I've researched.
Ease of use
Everything is very straightforward and easy to figure out. Simple videos get you going quickly.
Support
Bar none, Ignite Gallery has the best support out of any extension I have purchased, including those for five times the price.
Documentation
I haven't spent too much time with the documentation because it's all pretty easy to figure out, but I have watched some simple setup videos
Value for money
No doubt this is a great deal. Matt has even done some custom modifications for me at no extra charge.
I used this to: I'm a photographer with a very large image library. I have well over ten thousand images published online throughout various media outlets. I was looking for a single place where I could publish them all together in a structured, organized gallery.
