What Essence ran before, “struggling for months”
Customer story
Essence went from struggling on WordPress to “night and day”
Essence Competitions is a UK prize-draw site built around low-stakes instant wins: small cash pots, site credit and lifestyle items, with a “don’t watch, get involved” everyday-player vibe. Founder Dan on the switch.
Night & day
The difference in speed and ease since switching
Instant wins
A pain to set up on WordPress, now “game-changing”
Q1 · The migration moment
Why they switched
“The main reason I went with comps.gg is how clean and accessible the site is, and how quick it is. We were struggling for months on WordPress, and going to comps.gg has been like night and day. So happy with the switch.”
Q2 · The entrant-side wow
What customers notice
“Honestly, the best thing is the transparency for the customers. There’s so much information on the site that customers can access to see that everything is fair.”
“They’ve found the competitions load really quickly too, which is a bonus for the customers and the site owner.”
Q3 · The feature that pays for itself
What changed the game
“The main thing for me is how easy it is to set up a competition. Sounds silly, but as anyone coming from a WordPress site knows, setting up the instant wins was a pain. How simple it is on comps.gg is game-changing.”
“If anyone hasn’t made the move yet, this is your sign.”
“We were struggling for months on WordPress. Going to comps.gg has been like night and day.”
