Web Calendar Re-Launch, Feedback Requested
|
|
| George Sexton 2005-12-22, 7:05 pm |
| We're in the process of re-launching our web calendar product. We would
like to get your opinions on a couple of things about our site and
product.
This is a relaunch of an existing product with hundreds of customers. The
major effort of the re-launch is to focus more on the hosted calendar
market. Toward that end, we've re-designed our web site, and changed our
pricing. Essentially, we've dropped the license fee that we were charging
for hosting and now charge only a monthly fee. Our bottom end price is now
$99 per year.
The URL is:
http://www.mhsoftware.com/hosting/
Things we're really interested in feedback on are:
1)The web site design. It's a new site.
2)The hosted trial signup process.
It takes about two minutes to get a working trial.
a) does it work?
b) can you find it?
c) Is it simple enough to follow? Can it be improved?
The target market for this product is business, churches, schools, and
civic group/clubs/non-profit organizations.
Finally, we're interested in your thoughts on price-point. I know there
are a lot of cheaper or free calendars out there. We think our product
offers a lot of features that make it stand out, and justify the slightly
higher cost. High-end things we do include
Virtual host name support within your domain Resource Management
Really customizable appearance
No advertising
iCal/Outlook Import/Export
Best in class security system
Best in class calendar, including exceptions for recurring events,
attachments to events, Email notifications and reminders, Time zone
support, and much more.
We appreciate your feedback. If we get at least 5 people from a.w.w or
c.i.w.a.h who try the trial signup, look at the product, and provide
feedback we'll have a drawing and give away a free year's hosting of our
10 calendar product.
Thanks for your help.

If you are having to justify the higher cost then I think your target
market is way off.

These are people who have been buying the product at the higher price
points.
You don't think someone like a church would pay slightly more for a
virtual host in their domain?
You don't think someone like a Chamber of Commerce group would pay a
$99.00 per year for a web calendar that could be made to look like their
site?

No I don't. Churches are poor.

No I don't.
My point is that you admit it is expensive (having spent half the post
justifying the price) and then tell us your target market is the poorest
people (churches, schools, non-profit..).
It's a bit like selling caviar to Somalians.

My church budgeted $15,000 US for a new web site this year.
Out in front of our building, we have a LED display sign that cost $80,000
and we're shopping for $5,000,000 plots of land.
Not all churches are poor, they just all act that way.

| If it's 3 AM, and I've got a killer toothache, it would be quite nice
to be able to pencil myself in for the first available appointment - 2
PM - with my dentist, then take some heavy duty pain killer and try to
sleep until noon.
If I have to set the alarm for 8 AM in order to call for an
appointment, I'm going to be in considerably more misery.
If it can handle that, a web calendar would be worth $99 to the
dentist. It might even be worth $99 a year.
But I don't think $99/year is going to fly with most users. It's not
saving them much money, and it's not making them much money.

If you are targetting religious organizations, it may be worthwhile to add
two more features:
1. Built-in calculation of religious holidays for *all* religions and
2. an option to use other calendars, especially religious calendars
(Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, Bahá'í, etc.) with appropriate conversion.
(How would you handle a calendar for a company with branches in
India, Israel and Saudi Arabia?)
For calendar conversion, check out the book, _Calendrical_Calculations_
by Nachum Dershowitz and Edward M. Reingold, Cambridge University Press,
ISBN 0-521-56474-3 (My copy cost me CDN $31.95 in July 1997.)
All of the code they give, however, is in LISP[1] so some code conversion
will probably be necessary. See:
http://emr.cs.uiuc.edu/home/reingol...book/index.html
[1] LISP: (Lots of (Infuriating (Spurious (Parentheses))))

There is another edition, "Calendrical Calculations, The Millennium
Edition", 2001, isbn 0-521-77167-6 paperback (or isbn 0-521-77752-6
hardcover). Same authors and publisher. It comes with a CDROM that has the
code in lisp, Java and Mathematica.

In addition to what others have said, most calendar developers provide a
working example of a calendar, not a blurry picture. Search in any of the
script sites for calendars and you'll see what I mean.

On the menu, there is a dropdown labelled "Try It".
Move your mouse over that word, and when the drop down appears, click on
"Live Demonstration".

If you view the Month view calendar, in the first day of the week, there
is a "Week xx" link. Click on that to see our week view.
We have a list view that lets you specify a date range, but the calendar
view is limited to one month.

Well, quite simply I'm guessing they would all use the gregorian calendar.
Re Hindu holidays: Others have said I was silly for targeting churches and
schools because they typically have limited funds. I could just see the
howls of laughter if I targeted India...
I'm not really opposed to dealing with Jewish holidays, but then I have to
do Hebrew support. If you haven't done web sites that support Hebrew (or
Arabic) then you have no idea of what you're getting into. For the really
limited size of the Israeli market, I'm not going through the brain damage.

Lisp is terrible. I used to write AutoLisp routines for CAD programs many

Ah. So you adhere to the month fixation.
Why are calendar makers so obsessed with months? A month is just a
half-assed aggregation of weeks. Weeks are how people work.

While I may pay bills on a monthly basis, I have always been paid either

Jewish holidays are important outside Israel, too; plenty of people who
know English could be interested.

A lot of multi-national companies deal with people all over the world.
And, these days, a lot of churches do ecumenical collaborations with
institutions of other relgions in thier neighborhood.

Why do you have to do Hebrew? In case you haven't noticed, there are
Jews all over the world (well, except in countries that have
persecuted them to death.)

Well. You have JavaScript for the top navigation. In FireFox with JS
disabled, it doesn't work at all.
I would suggest useing some normal text links a long the bottom of the
page which match those in the top nav bar. As you can not get to your
contact link unless you use the top navigation with JS enabled. Which
is not always possable.

Well. Regarding the price. I don't think $99 per year is that expensive
for Non-proffits. There are a lot of community groups who do have a lot
of money to spend, through donation etc etc.

Come to think of it I have never came across a Jew here, and it is not
because we have persecuted them to death.
Could a Filipino 'be/was/could be' a Jew?

But is he direct descendant from Gods people? I believe most likely he is

Jew, a mestíso meaning Filipino with mixed blood. There many mestíso here.
Notice the emphasis is being Filipino, if you have any Pinoy blood you
considered Filipino even if you not born here. After all, Tayo'y Mga

Not in our case. Color is very relevant, color is everything. If you

light colored Filipino has advantage over darker colored Filipino. Also
if you light colored when you go the US for work you really have distinct
advantage. Particularly if you happen to be Filipina.

Don't see why not one can adopt any religion. But traditionally the

It was not on a site for Filipino's where being Jewish came up by
accident. Ha'Aretz is an Israeli newspaper.

Ah, but the Jews didn't stop at the end of the bible. I don't think
the bible speaks of Jews traveling to Germany and Holland either.
IIRC, there is mention of 'the countries at the coast', which could be
Europe just as well as China afaik.

Also, the Philippines were colonized by the Spanish, who had killed
(through the Inquisition) or evicted (in 1492) all their Jews. Given
that there's no reason to expect that any of the non-Spanish there
were Jewish, my guess is that the only Jews in the Philippines during
the colonial period were Maranos (hidden Jews) - see
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org...m/Marranos.html
I'm willing to bet that there are some Filipino Jews in Manilla, but
few further afield.
BTW, I know that there are Jewish communities in (among other places)
Japan, India, China, most African nations - some going back thousands
of years.

Matt,
I hope you check the information for your encyclopaedia better than
this. Jews are people of the Jewish religion - whether born to it or
converts. For a good discussion of "Who is a Jew", see
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org...sm/whojew1.html
For some information on Jewish history, see
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org...ry/history.html
The destruction of the 2nd Temple in Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 CE
was followed by the Diaspora (widespread dispersion) of the Jews to
all corners of the known world. At that time, Jews mostly ended up
around the Mediterranean and along trade routes (which is how they
ended up in China and India). Jews became participants in the society
of their home countries whenever they were allowed, although many
countries would not allow Jews to be citizens (including most European
countries until the 19th century or later.) Some countries were
friendly, many were hostile. Due to intermarriage and other forces
(such as rape) Jews ended up looking a great deal like other
inhabitants of their countries - Jews from Arab lands look Arab,
Indian Jews look Indian, etc. Despite the stereotypes, many Jews
don't "look Jewish." Also, Judaism requires us to follow the law of
the land we live in and, in places where Jews were not segregated and
refused entry into most professions, we have been full participants in
our societies. Hitler killed many Jews who considered themselves
Germans first and who were decorated war heroes from WW I.

Oh no here it is again "mutually exclusive" :(
When I think of being Jewish I think of it in the sense of the bible. You
had to be born into it, as in Gods choosen. That is why everyone else is
gentiles right?

Uh, that's not quite correct. Most ancient city-states were formed as
an extended family got larger and larger, with the old man of the clan
serving as king. The jews, however, started out as a ragtag collection
of those whose families had been pretty much wiped out by other
families.
The covenant bound these people together and to the god they selected.
(There was never any doubt that other gods existed; even the ten
commandments asserted that he was the god of the hebrew people, and
that the other gods ought not be worshipped, something that would have
been harmless had the other gods simply been figments of the
imagination. In order to commit to the covenant, you had to submit to
an operation that, uh, well, you might not want to have it done just
as a lark; you'd surely be *serious* before you agreed to that.
Were they successful because of the cross-breeding of these people and
the hybrid vigor of their offspring? Possibly - but more likely, it
was the fact that you added together the accumulated knowledge of each
group forming the Habiru (aka Hebrew). They not only were one of the
first groups that was literate, but they had mathematics, too - and
they went to Egypt, thinking that their skills would allow them to
earn a good living.
Even today, there are many jews in the international banking industry,
and it may have gone back to that. Or more likely not.
They aren't the only ones. My family has been involved in web hosting
since the 1300s....

Actually, it's due in large part to Jews not being allowed to own
property nor join most trades for many centuries. Banking was one of
the few jobs open to them in many countries.

Traditionally those adopted into a tribe are members of that tribe. If
you convert to Judaism then you are a Jew, regardless of your race or
skin color. I would be very surprised if there were no Jews of
Filipino ancestry, but I can guaranty that there is no religous bar to
Filipinos converting. I can't say whether Baho Utot would want to, or
how his friends, family and neighbors would react, but he would
certainly be welcomed[3] should he choose to assume the burden.
[1] I was somewhat miffed when our local tabloid made a big deal about
his color, which none of us cared about, but did not stress his
age[2], which was a major factor in the election.
[2] He was much younger than previous presidents. Many of us, myself
included, felt that a young president, with young children, would
be more in touch with the concerns of new families and more
effective in drawing new members.
[3] The conversion process does include warnings of what you are
getting into, but those are to ensure informed consent rather
than to be inhospitable to potential converts.

Why? There are Jews in China and India and pretty much all of the

Even more, I want to see time revolving around now, because now is all
I have. Then you can let me change the now. Weeks are acceptable I
suppose, but this month fixation is silly.

well that was for Manila, if you were a Jew and here in Mindanao I
doubt that you could get along with the Muslims, MILF and all.

So which is it, have you persecuted them or not? If the MILF has
chased them away that would explain why you have not met one.

No I have not nor the valid government, Filpinos don't do that.
Do you know who the MILF are, also NPA and Abu Sayyaf ?
If you do then you would know that they do not represent the Philippine
government.

Don't know about the second two, but I get lots of spam about the
MILF.

Understood, I withdraw my comment, it was offensive and uncalled for.

Calendar makers are obsessed with the month view because that's what
people are used to, and what people will buy. For any critical mass to
form to shift away from it will require a solution that is superior in
capability while just as easy to use, or only marginally harder to use.
As far as printing goes, you can forget anything larger than a month. Its
hard to get 30 days on a reasonable sized piece of paper. Asking people to
have one view for on-line use, and another for printed is just silly.
Some things are kept not because they are the best, but because they are
good enough.

I find it amusing to read this in a newsgroup about HTML[1].
If your text editor doesn't do paren matching and automatic indentation
of Lisp code, it's time to catch up with the 1980s.

I have never used[1] an editor which did "paren matching" or automatic
indentation, for LISP or otherwise. YMMV, but I consider those things,
along with syntax highlighting, a poor excuse for not learning proper code
blocking and commenting for readability.
I do just fine without these things.

That's not the kind of MILF I get spam about.
