My gripe isn't with the release date Scott. I am quite happy for it to go past schedule, to get all the bugs ironed out. It is the way this initial release is being handled that is blatantly annoying a lot of your potential customers.
Many ecommerce sites have a substantive increase in business, in the run up to Xmas. A further six week delay due to restrictions in the issue of this design software would make it difficult to get sites utilised in time and could potentially cost many of your existing customers lost revenue.
I am just giving you feedback 'from the other side of the fence'. Coffeecup is well respected out there at the moment. Excluding customers is never good for anyone's business reputation.
Multi tasking is a way of life for me, contrary to whatever my girlfriend may say. :-)

Hi Bob. If I can also throw my two cents in. I feel that this initial limited release would be far better, if instead of limiting the physical numbers available, you instead make the product available for a 48 hour period only. This would allow those of us that live in different time zones around the world, to have a chance to purchase the product. If people are out at work during those variance in time zones (or even asleep in bed), at least you will be giving them the opportunity to purchase the product. That way the deal is fairer on everyone.

Indeed I did see Bob's post. My response is directly underneath his post.
Trouble is there is real confusion here amongst the forum members. Bob is indicating there won't be any limits on quantity, whereas Scott is till talking about a futher six week delay if folks miss out. A simple definitive statement would be good perhaps?
My perspective on business, is that if people want to give you money, it's only polite to accept it from them.

The definitive answer will be revealed when the program is launched.
We are considering many different avenues on the best way to release the software. My best recommendation is if you want the software, get in here early just to be safe. You have already made the decision that you want it, so all you need to do is get to our Website the day it is released and you will be all set.

That will all very much depend on the release price on the day.

Beta testers need not worry. They will be given the choice of either the basic or pro version when it is released. ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
