6 FOLEON ALTERNATIVES FOR PERFORMANCE DRIVEN MARKETERS
Foleon is a no-code content creation platform for designing interactive, engaging digital publications. Users can create whitepapers, magazines, and more with their drag-and-drop interface and customizable templates. Their analytics metrics give basic insights into content performance.
Foleon’s features empower users to design visually rich content without technical skills. But aren’t easy creation, interactivity, and analytics the bare minimum for a content creation platform in today’s market?
Foleon falls short in some key areas:
First, as a clear replacement for the PDF, one would think there would be an option to convert existing PDFs into Foleon Docs. However, Foleon requires you to upload and place images and text assets individually. While they would say this is due to responsiveness, platforms (including Turtl) allow for uploading PDFs in minutes – and the result is quicker to create, still interactive, responsive and far from static.
Secondly, Foleon is often compared to a scrolling web page. The distinction being that a Foleon Doc has a linear format providing a different way to showcase important pieces of content, similar to a presentation. One could argue this, as well as the ability to track a level of engagement, could be achieved within your chosen CMS or with additional widgets, plugins or web design tools.
Interested in creating content experiences with real impact? Eager to explore alternatives to Foleon? You’re in the right place. Let’s get going!
