Viaweb: Create your own secure online store (old Viaweb site)
- mattjaynes 20y agoThat's awesome. Their site has withstood the test of time design-wise. For the most part it looks like any other good modern site: clean and simple. It's remarkably free of the classic 'made-in-the-nineties' characteristics. I guess that goes back to the viaweb team's aversion to 'fashion'. My favorite part is: "Over 1000 Users!"
- imp 20y agoWhen the cost is $100 - $700 per month that's pretty good.
- mattjaynes 20y agoAmen to that ;) Once I get my app launched it'll be mostly free accounts w/ advertising and some pro accounts. With competition I'll have to get quite a few users to make anywhere near what they were making!
- SwellJoe 20y agoThe "Over 1000 Users!" thing actually looks like it could be on the BaseCamp website. It's the bright pastel highlight thing before it was hip. I agree we can learn something about design from the whole thing. The simplicity means that it holds up strikingly well. The only thing that really dates it is the image buttons and image bullets. Nice job, Paul, or whoever did the design. It's really very nice.
- far33d 20y agoIt looks a lot like the yc site.
