I'm spending the week working on LocalsGive.com, which is going well. I'm almost ready to test the submission process. Once that's complete, next week will be spent getting Sherry (the woman who told me that she wanted to do this) what she needs to manage submissions and pledges. About that time, she would be ready for a test drive with real people. I brought in a new QA person, someone with whom I've worked before. He hadn't seen Paragon247.com or LocalsGive.com prior to this. After giving Paragon247 a thorough look, he had this to say: Brett, the site is a work of art. Everyone here agrees, it is beautiful. It is so fast, clean, simple, easy, straightforward, etc. that it is impossible to criticize. When I couldn't find a particular link it was a) at the bottom of the page, and b) it turned out I didn't really need to go there in the first place. I've been working on this for a while, as you know. Hearing that gives me a boost. Seeing LocalsGive.com and Paragon247.com go live in the next month will do so even more.And lest you think Chris' nice comments went to my head, he also sent me a list of 18 to-do items. I'll work on that next week as well. (Chris will get 5% equity in this if he continues working on it as he has. I'm not afraid to share what I've built - I just want people as committed as I am to it. Passion - the number one attribute in anyone I want to hire.) |
