I am thinking along the lines of where the price starts at a 1 dollar a month, and when someone signs up it goes up 25 cents and so on.
Anything else along those lines you have seen?
1) basecamphq.com - considering all SaaS's derive from here 2) onehub.com 3) lighthouseapp.com
So recently I hired a well known, but small, web design firm. I specifically hired this firm because all of their websites carry a very unique style. They were more expensive then most freelancers I had worked with in the past, but it was worth it to me to obtain this style.
I figured that the head designer and founder, wouldn't take the project as it was smaller. But one of his other 4 designers would do it.
A few days after we paid the deposit, we got an email to join the basecamp project to start things off. In the basecamp was our project manager and a women, who I assumed worked with for this company. When I clicked on her name thought, it was apparent by her email address that she was not part of their company, but rather an outside freelancer.
So, rather pissed at this point, I told my project manager that this wasn't going to work. He tried to claim she was doing a majority of the work for them, but couldn't show me any projects she had done for them. They ended up refunding my money, but wouldn't admit that they were doing anything wrong.
Do you think they were wrong in not disclosing that they were going to farm the work out? Or did I overreact?
I just made a new site called Recipenom.com that is like a mix between Instapaper/delicious and Hype Machine, but for recipes. If you find a recipe you want to save, simply click the button easily accessible within your toolbar. There's also sharing/tagging of recipes, easy printing, and we built in a universal feed that also pulls from popular food blogs.
I'd really appreciate any opinions/suggestions/comments/etc.
