“Our old platform felt like it was stitched together, and nothing really felt like it matched our brand. We could have never imagined our platform looking like it does now. Our long-time users have commented on just how impressive it looks and feels.”
-
“From the initial proposal to the delivery of the outcomes we have felt listened to and understood, challenged and guided as needed… But most of all we actually felt like partners – not new customers.”
-
“I was incredibly impressed. The Plume team knows their stuff, but most importantly they know how to listen to a client’s needs and translate those needs into an actionable plan.”
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are there any running costs with a custom build?
Yes, there are some fees such as hosting, maintenance and third-party licensing. You may leave Plume and find alternate providers for these at any time. -
What if we need support?
For the first 3 months, we’ll be providing you with maintenance and support in the form of development hours, project management, training and site updates. After this initial period, you will have the option to continue with this support. -
Will you charge licensing fees at a later date?
We’ll never charge mandatory licensing fees for the products and services provided to you under a zero-licensing-fee agreement, although in some cases you may opt-into licensing in order to receive new versions. We will soon be launching new products that will be subject to licensing fees, but these products are optional. -
Do I need a host?
Your system will need to be hosted somewhere. Of course, as membership site specialists, we have a range of dedicated hosting packages specifically for membership websites. Find out more about our hosting packages here: https://plume.co.uk/lms-hosting/ -
Can you help with content?
Clients are responsible for creating their own content and adding it to the system. Our platforms include a comprehensive range of course creation and quiz building tools in order for you to do this. On some occasions we may add some content for you to get you going, but at Plume, we focus on enabling our clients to be self-reliant, encouraging you to use and manage your system without needing to contact us. -
Where are you based? Can I come and see you?
We are based in Bristol, UK with offices in the city centre. We have a number of platforms in place so that we can serve our international clients with any support requests and training. Given the current climate, we are discouraging anyone from visiting the office.
