Simple! Set up in seconds](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/brilliant-simple-set-up-in-seconds/)󠁿 [LucyS1812](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lucys1812/) 17. Septembar 2017. Seconds to install and set up. Idiot proof so good for non-codey newbies. Support timely and the Pro version makes your competition a walk in the park. Also the developer offers customisation for added fees, but really a small price to pay for such a tidy, useful plug in. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/072c0d4f452a355f0cf0c63f6cdafdc881175440642745ff33747aa4a5af4510? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very simple to use](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-simple-to-use-25/)󠁿 [webdevbev](https://profiles.wordpress.org/webdevbev/) 24.
