That's certainly one way to paint the picture. Most of investing, though, is trying to grow the pie, not necessarily focusing on your specific piece. I've been on the founder side (trying to convince investors to spin off a new company) and

We definitely support transferring domain names out of Weebly. Once you purchase it, it's your domain name. If we didn't do that when you asked, I'm really sorry. That's our mistake and it definitely shouldn't happen. Would you mind emailin

by drusenko 15y ago
We add a lot of value on top of the domain name that we think justifies the price (our customers seem to think so too). If you don't, you're free to buy your own domain at GoDaddy (or anywhere else) and point it to Weebly, completely free o

You're giving away 5% of the pre-tax value, but that only translates to 2.5% net for those at the receiving end here. One key distinction with options is that they can be more tax advantageous if the employee exercises and holds their stock

Fraudulent charges happen all the time on credit cards. The only difference here is that you can call up your CC company and get the charges refunded immediately.

Absolutely, it's in the pipeworks!

We started in 2006 and Prototype was the dominant framework back then, so we're still using that for the editor. Everything else is custom written.
