The front page was very busy in my opinion for a stealth-mode startup. Keep it REAL simple and lead people to more information.

Also the color, layout and stock photos on the 'how it works' page made me think of one of those pyramid scheme sites.

What is the validation model for the Job Seeker eclipsing 3 months?

Widgets look good.


Thanks for the feedback - its a big help.

Can you clarify what you are asking here ""What is the validation model for the Job Seeker eclipsing 3 months?"" - I'll try to answer.

Thanks

My advice to Google is to lower the user threshold, possibly as low as 12-25 and create a middle-tier pricing option.

1. Bootstrapped 2. SMB 3. Enterprise


Yeah, the prices are currently:

    0-50 users: $0
    50+  users: 50 * 50 = $2500 - ouch!


For a company with 50+ employees, $2500 per year is not a major expense, relative to rent and payroll. Still vastly cheaper than MS Office.


Sure, but perhaps companies in the middle, with less than 50 employees, might be willing to spend some money, but not $50 a year per employee. Say, a 10 employee company - that's 500$ a year, which isn't huge, but not peanuts either. If Google could get 200$ out of them, and still make a profit, it seems like a win for everyone. No idea what their actual costs are, but they can't be that high if the advertising is anywhere close to covering them.


Yikes, I thought it was 0-50 for free and any users past that were $50. So 51 users would be $50/yr. I guess you really have to justify that 51st employee :).


Well, companies can upgrade well before they hit 50 users. You get extra space, no ads and premium support.


This is the First-person-shooter-era response to how one chooses to deal with Life's difficulties.

It begs the question on where one aims the cannon though...


OLE is a joke, if this is a client-side application add embeddable spreadsheet widgets.

Pivot-tables would be nice as a core function to model data (see quantrix.com)

Make 'light databases' part of the architecture and not counter-design. something like, spreadsheets meets csv with a cli query component or similar.
