We successfully updated Stubmatic this evening. The changes were mainly very subtle ones but the most noticeable will be that we have revised our pricing and switched from British Pounds £ to US Dollars $.
We appologise if this causes any inconvinience to our UK customers however, we have decided to charge in $ from now on mainly due to the fact that 81% of our user base are based in the US vs 7% based in the UK.
Users currently on our British Pound plans have the choice to remain on their current plan or choose to switch to the new plan. Switching plan is easy, simply visit your My Account page when logged into Stubmatic and clicking Change Plan. You will be asked if you wish to change to the new US dollar priced plans. Click yes and you account will be upgraded at the end of your current billing period.
TktIt users who have been given gift membership are unaffected however should you wish to continue your subscription at the end of your gift period, you will need to subscribe to one of our new US priced plans.
We have also added a new field to the Event details form labelled Event Type. This field has been added for future integration reasons. Some of our partner sites would like to retrieve events for a particular type, for example only music events. We have made it as light a feature as possible by having it remember the type of event you last added.
As always, please contact us with your comments / suggestions,
Regards,
Stubmatic Team
Scheduled Maintenance: Sunday 23rd November 2008, 6pm. We do not anticipate services to be unavailable for more than 30 mins.
Our new home page has made a splash by being recently featured in Smashing Magazine as an example for their article titled “Strategic Design: 6 Steps for Building a Successful Website”. Our homepage was featured as the example for Goal-driven design.
“To succeed, the website must make the best use of the very limited amount of attention visitors will be giving it by not only informing but educating them about what your product does, and selling the benefits it provides. Stubmatic uses design elements effectively to pursue those goals.”
Many thanks to our designer Dan Oliver (He is also available freelance).
