A Quick Word

Hi everyone,
We've been hard at work on product updates this month. We're about to unveil a new look for our NX range of products, starting with SiteCenter NX when the beta is released in a few days. We're just in the final stage of tweaking the design and then it's off to our beta team for testing!

After discussing it with the team, we've also decided to change the format of our blog. Instead of containing only product updates we'll now be publishing relevant and useful information for web masters, web developers and web designers, including tips and tricks for design, business, search engine optimization and more. If you have something you want us to write about, leave a comment here.

Until next month, keep smiling!

The Customer Knows Best

• "I had two presentations this week for the staff/faculty here at the university and I previewed WebEdit Pro for them. They were so excited they were begging me for username/password after the meeting. I told them we had to wait until the next version and they almost cried... it looks like you just made a lot of people very happy..." Robert Steflik, Midwestern State University (www.mwsu.edu)
  
  
• "ArticleLive is the [most] professional CMS that I've ever seen, suits most of my requirements. Last month I tried several CMS packages (listed in the wikipedia.org page) and not even a single one suited my needs exactly. Then I decided to go for a commercial one, and AL NX satisfied me." Ramesh (www.mvps.org)
  
  
• "Hi Brendan, I just wanted to take a moment to truly thank you for your willingness to help sort out the issue with our SiteCenter templates. I deeply appreciate it and you. Many times in the present business environment people and companies are unwilling to do what it takes to satisfy a customer. You went the extra mile and I can tell you that I will sing your and Interspire’s praises to anyone who will listen. Your work to resolve our issues will result in our being able to promote SiteCenter and SendStudio to our customers with confidence. Again, thanks for your efforts and for being the type of person who deserves respect because he takes care of others." Steve Conn, Company (www.mymarketingmatters.com)

I spent the last few days moving into my new place, so it's such a good feeling to sit down in a comfy chair at the office and write up this newsletter at 6:30pm Wednesday night (Sydney time). Never take your back muscles for granted, because they sure do hurt after you've spent 2 solid days moving and lifting heavy boxes ;)

Until next time, I'll catch you in the forums...
