One important thing is that if we go around following everything everybody else says<br>we become a follower in our field.<br><br>I have had numerous people tell me what to do in the code, what to name things, what to eat for breakfast.<br>
Plain and simple, I will choose what to put on our website, when to put it there and what it says.<br><br>You are welcome to your own opinion. I have no problem with it. If you say something I like we may<br>even listen. Feel free to comment on anything else you find when browsing our community.<br>
<br>BUT,<br><br>If you have no sense of humor, you will not make it far in the open source telecom industry.<br><br>If you want a more professional looking site, we do have some guys in suits on our FreeSWITCH Solutions site.<br>

me in the direction of FreeSwitch... In general, our management does<br>
not often consider open source software for projects such as this, but<br>
I've been successful in proving to them recently that open source can<br>
deliver.<br>
<br>
FreeSwitch is a *very* professional and polished product, I can tell -<br>
from the code and from the community.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, I've been hesitant to send people to your webpage lately<br>
because it went downhill a few weeks ago. Whenever I think about one of<br>
our executives going to your webpage (after my recommendation) and<br>
seeing a picture of people clanking beer glasses, or some idiot tied up<br>
in phone cables, I cringe. I know you're advertising for ClueCon, but<br>
honestly, some of those huge images on your front page really knock your<br>
product down a peg in professionalism.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I'm pretty new to the community and I don't claim to be a web<br>
designer. You have an excellent piece of software, but if I didn't<br>
already know that about FreeSwitch, your webpage would not make a good<br>
first impression.<br>
<br>
Please take that for what it's worth... I wanted to voice my opinion<br>
because if I'm thinking it, others may be as well.<br>
Thoughts anyone?<br>
<br>

(Have I mentioned how awesome your source browser is though??!!)<br>
