I'm thinking of getting OptimizePress but still on the fence about the decision. One thing I would like to know is whether the CSS for it can be easily customized or altered. I think the main reason I am considering using it is for things like the membership functions it offers and some of its other functions. I think it may save me a lot of time setting up things like auto responders and membership functions etc. So I guess what I'm asking is whether anyone else is using OptimizePress and what their experience with it has been. Does it live up to its claims.

Also I see that OptimizePress is designed to work with "pages' Can you still use "post' in order to take advantage of the SEO aspect of a Blog?

if the problem is changing css easily and if they don't have css changing option just install this plugin: wordpress dot com/extend/plugins/my-custom-css WordPress › My Custom CSS « WordPress Plugins[/url] it gives you ability to add you custom css code to change the look of your site. if you dont have technical css coding skills so thats a bit bigger problem than.

I've worked with Optimizepress once before on a client site.

From my experience; the site is designed to look like it is out of the box - I had to work in some of the template files in order to get certain pages to look like the client wanted - I ended up removing the optimizepress header and replacing it with my own.

You can edit the CSS, browse via FTP to the theme directory and customise from there. Personally I stay away from editing files from the admin panel with an editor.

Yes you can use it like a normal blog too, the site I worked on uses both pages and blog functionality.

On another note, somebody who I'm subscribed to uses Optimizepress for both blog & pages - take a look: Lee Hayward's Total Fitness Bodybuilding

OK so that's a site built from OptimizePress. Very interesting, The reason I'm considering it is for all the other things like their auto responders support and other such stuff, things like the membership functionality. For instance I will need t be able to control who can download free content i.e people who have opted in for the free offer etc. It looks like OptimizePress comes with all that built in.

It comes with the ability to integrate with membership scripts like DAP, but isn't a membership plugin itself. So it won't hide certain content on its own, if that's what you mean. I personally use it with DAP, and it works great.

You actually need additional plugins, such as Wishlist, DAP, or S2Member in order to fully control your membership site, such as protection and product management. OP only provides the membership site design. I agree that the autoresponder integration is quick and simple. The squeeze page design is good too.
