A superb resource

Having decided I needed a few policy templates - the usual privacy ones for web sites - I wandered curiously through the SEQ Legal website, which pointed me to Docular.net. I found the documents I needed, and there are many more that will be of interest for future work.
I was able to edit these documents by creating an instance of each using Docular's marvellous template editor with nifty little on/off web-controls for adding/removing parts of the text, as needed. An amazing API function allows me to use simple Javascript to make a GET request, (e.g. using fetch or cURL) into my website as a live file. Alternatively, I can edit and download in HTML along with the CSS if I need to.
I received some fantastic help from Alasdair, which saved me hours of work, and this was above and beyond. Help is available for legal as well as technical queries. A thrilled client here, and I will highly recommend.

Thanks very much for the rating and review. I can't take the credit for the technical assistance however - that came via me from our lead developer, Michael.

Docular is brilliant

Docular is brilliant. Always simple to use, and allows very straightforward customisation of documents while letting you know what legal pitfalls you might be falling into.

Very poor comms from this company.

I cannot understand how this company has been getting 5 stars, as the service I've been getting is none existent.
Messaged them TWICE asking for advice on the correct documents and heard nothing and also left two messages on there answering machine, as nobody ever answers the calls.
I would not of minded, but this has been over a period of three weeks and I'm still waiting.
Seriously looking into another company as this one seems to not want the business.

Hi Steve - I apologise for the poor communications in the past few weeks. The underlying issues are I believe now largely resolved. That said, I have not been able to find your contact details in our email or voicemail records, and if I can still be of any help please do get in touch using the form here: https://docular.net/pages/contact

Amazing library of legal docs and the most sophisticated legal document editor of the services I've seen. Great support too! If they added US versions of their docs they might just take over the world.

Problem solved

I hate writing website legal docs. So, when creating terms & conditions, privacy/cookie policies etc., in the past I have always cobbled together, adapted and re-used the docs I have created and used in the past. Not so with my latest site - Horsebox Heaven UK. I decided I'd go the extra mile and do it properly with documents from Docular. The result has a truly excellent look and feel, the legal content and details are written in plain English, right on the money, and the WordPress plugin is a god-send. It works effortlessly, takes all the guesswork out of updating, when you need to, and presents the documents on my site exactly as they were written and styled. Their document editing system is a breeze and they are super helpful people and responsive, which is good news in the strange times we live in these days. I can't praise Docular high enough and definitely will be using their site documents on every site I develop from now on.

I had a really good experience working with Docular. Though Alastair wasn't able to do customisation work on the legal documents for me, he was very ready to answer my queries and I was able to get the confidence to edit the template myself.

Excellent on-line editor

Excellent on-line editor, a lot of possibilities to change the text according to the law and the needs, very easy to use. Just perfect tool!

Thanks for the review. The next build will make editing even easier, with automated swapping of defined terms and certain other terms within the documents.

Excellent resource

This is an excellent resource whether or not you have any legal training or not. The templates are clear and easily digestible.

Innovative System for quickly producing policies

I was hugely impressed by Docular, having read reviews about what appeared to be comparable systems which emphasised speed and ease of completion I almost missed out! I'm so glad I was made aware of Docular, as the concern with the 'quick and easy' alternatives was that I wouldn't have as much control over the fine detail.

Docular manages to achieve both, enabling speedy creation of documents with the required level of detail and user input. The prices aren't bad either! Well done Docular 👏 👏

Thanks very much.

AFAIK there aren't any closely comparable document creation systems. The majority of legal document generators are designed to allow a user to complete some kind of questionnaire in order to produce a finished document. However, there are usually strict limits on the possible outputs.

Such document generation systems are great, providing that the template writers have created a document that specifically comprehends your situation. In my experience, more often than not, there is something unusual or unique about most businesses and most products. Cookie-cutter businesses and products are inherently unlikely to succeed. This limits the usefulness of document generators in many situations.

Docular was designed originally for lawyers (specifically, me) to use. It doesn't guide you to a pre-determined output. Instead, it gives you a fairly wide range of options and lets you edit templates in a semi-controlled way, automating everything that can be automated (at least, that is the goal). This means that the user has to take responsibility for the document, but it also enables the careful and diligent user quickly and efficiently to produce a finished document that really does fit with her or his business.

Safe hands, excellent service

I downloaded the EULA document for use with my desktop app. I needed to modify the document a fair bit for my particular situation, however the support I have received from Docular has been excellent.

Thanks, Al. I'm glad you found the support to be good. Because of the size of the business and our available resources, I'm not sure it is always as good as it should be - but it is certainly something we will continue to work to improve.

For me an excellent website

For me an excellent website. As a sole trader, the cost of composing these on my time would be prohibitive and I lack the necessary expertise. Likewise to enlist a professional like a solicitor.
Simple to use, able to personalise relevant documents and repeat use platform is ideal and makes everything look professional.
Cost wise it is truly a bargain. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the review. It's always gratifying to hear that the system is easy to use for non-lawyers. I can't take credit for the interface, but I'll pass your comments on to the interface designer.

Thanks for the review. A lot of the work we've done on the software involves balancing flexibility and ease of use, so it's great to hear that for you at least the balancing worked.
