Why new version? Why not improvements to V9?!  en

Don't you think users get disappointed as not V9 got updated but a new version released? Version 9 was a half-ready product on my opinion and should not have been released. We used version 8 since we bought it. Now feel a bit tricked. We do not want to pay EUR 50 every year for some improvements. What do you think? Really!

Hello Procont, 

version 9 was released on September 2011, so 19 months ago. This is normally the normal period for a new major release of a software. 

I believe that the price is correct for the work we have done and especially if you think about the use of WSX5 as a software that permits to create websites even for professional users. Moreover if you compare WSX5 to many other online solutions where you have to pay every month, the price is extremely cheap: 49.99€ per 19 months is 2.63€ per month! With this price you can also create as many projects you want and not only one. Wink

I suggest you to download the trial version of version 10 and have a look at the new feautures we added www.websitex5.com/v10new, so you would be able to decide if upgrade, now or later.

Correct answer! Anyways, why we feel still inconvenient? Maybe smelling some marketing tactics? Ah yes, definetly. Never mind. Still, version 9 was half-ready in our opinion - but version 8 was a milestone. Will try version 10 but with great expectations.

We do not care about many projects however - we need the one to be the best only.

Hi Procont, let me also add some other info that could be useful for you to know:

  • from version 8 (2009) to version 10 (2013) there are 4 years. I think that 2 major updates in 4 years is the mininum required for this kind of software.
  • the price of the 2 upgrades together (49.99+49.99) vs all the new feautures added (HTML5 vs XHTML), Mobile compatibility, Latest Browsers support, etc is extremely competivive.

Anyway, you are the only one who can evaluate and decide! Wink

Let me know if you need further info.
