Our Approach to Software

1

Simple Over Sexy

Design should not compromise usability. It's been said that good design is invisible.

2

Service Builds the Brand

Even a great product means nothing without exceptional support.

3

Be the Customer

The best software is often created by people solving their own problems.

4

Focus on the Core

Products with fewer, well-executed features beat bloated software every time.

5

Go Fund Yourself

Being funded by paying customers means focusing on what they actually want.

6

Upfront Pricing

No one wants to schedule a demo just to find out if they can afford something.

7

No Sales Gimmicks

"Value-based" pricing is just a scheme to charge the maximum someone will pay.

8

Easy Exits

Customers shouldn't be punished for leaving with tedious emails, calls or exit surveys.
