In the spirit of giving both sides of the argument a fair shot, here is Andrew Wilkinson’s response to my criticisms of Tumblize’s prices.
I understand that $1,000 is a hard pill to swallow, but we brought together a solid team of professional designers and XHTML/CSS developers and, after running the numbers, a $999 price point ensures everyone goes home happy. You will always be able to find people like Cameron and Bill that will do it for less - and do it well - but I think we’re catering to a totally different crowd.
I don’t need to go through this point by point, you guys are smart enough to come to your own conclusions. Nonetheless, I still stand by my initial criticisms.
I, for one, am putting this to bed now. We’ve all heard enough about it for one day.
