Litmus goes live

August 15th, 2007 After two months of toil and late nights to fit it around my daytime contracting job - Matt, Paul and I have finally managed to get Litmus out the door and live.

There were some tense moments after we had taken the old SiteVista site down and began hitting some extremely annoying problems with our hosting company. But after a pretty heroic effort from everyone we finally got it up and running just a day later than we had originally planned. Credit especially goes to Matt who stayed up over 24 hours straight to get ready for launch! - Matt, I can't really thank you enough for your dedication to making this a success - I'm sure your effort will pay off.

At the moment we're running a Litmus launch promotion - offering an insanely cheap package to celebrate, and as Paul puts it:

What's the catch? There isn't one. We're looking to expand our product line by adding OS X and Windows software clients for Litmus, but could do with some extra R&D money to invest in developing them. Offering a small number of patron accounts seemed like a good way of raising some additional cash for the side project.


Having seen it work so well for Textdrive we thought a promotion like this was exactly what we needed to kick start Litmus and crack on with adding extra features and capacity asap.

We now have a 30 day free trial with no charge made to your card until the first 30 days is up - and quite soon the ability to signup with your PayPal account

A new beginning

August 1st, 2007 It's official - the team behind SiteVista (me, Matt and Paul) are almost ready to release the new incarnation of SiteVista... and we've called it "Litmus"

Keep an eye on litmusapp.com for details and I'll also post an update here when we go live.
This is the culmination of many months hard work and bringing in all our skills to get the site completed. Paul on the design and marketing, Matt on the backend .net work and me creating the Rails based customer facing site.
More news soon.

SiteVista - Email testing launches

January 9th, 2007

Well, we still hit the day we said we would even though some last minute hiccups left all of the team putting in 4am bed times for all of this weekend. Lead developer Matt even managed a near 24 hour straight programming session.

Congratulations to us :)

Go and checkout the SiteVista blog for more information on this near unique product and excellent addition to the SiteVista portfolio.

To celebrate the release, until Friday the 12th of January 2006, we’re offering the email testing “freelancer” package at a discounted price of $39 per month for the life of your subscription.

I think I deserve some sleep now…

SiteVista gets a write up

November 22nd, 2006

Hey, nice to see that we got featured on TechCrunch UK on Monday. We’ve already had some interest and things are getting very exciting for SiteVista!

I also happened to notice that Ryan Carson gave us an honourable mention on thinkvitamin.com, you’ll need to scroll down the news blog in the centre of the site to the 20th of November to see his comments (I’ll reproduce them here for your benefit :))

SiteVista is a great way to cross-browser test your site/app. It’s not cheap at $29/month, but looks like it’s worth it. I haven’t actually tried the service, but from the demo video, it looks great. Ryan Carson November 20, 2006

Thanks Mike at Techcrunch, thanks Ryan and big thanks to all of our SiteVista customers.
