It’s a function of a small team that is trying to do and learn at the same time.
We spent a pile of cash 8.5k or so, on a website we threw out after one year to put up a temp iWeb site that actually describes what we do. (Sort of, has the right “one page get” about what we are going after, but we changed our mind on the market for our product, so that description is wrong. Plus the design is jank.)
We went to conferences and people loved our stuff (all of it, product idea, and training) they want to buy and we are so busy building we don’t do a very good job of following up to close the deals.
We know where we are going through, it is very good, and I think we are mostly right that speed is more important than perfect. That it is better to do and be a little wrong than spend months navel-gazing. But geez, it’s a little embarrassing.
I feel like we are showing up at a cool party without pants on and trying to pretend like we don’t even notice, in the hopes that no one else will notice.
For the record, we notice. I know the blogs are too template-y. We know the site is sub-par. I won’t go on, maybe not everyone has noticed everything.
I’m going back to pretending, to try to trick the rest, while I work on pants.
