    Well done. Congrats!

    For the record, I think your website is fine, and doesn’t look outdated at all. You must be doing SOMETHING right if you have secured $1M ARR.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But its just that, an opinion. Stay the course. Keep rocking it!

    Congrats!

    P.S. - Your website looks quite outdated.
    (Please take this as an honest, constructive feedback and not in any other way)

      Thanks, we already are working on a new website design and should be released in the coming months :-)

        Why change the design if it work? Your website looked fine

        1. 1

          The platform has evolved a lot over the past 3 years and doesn't properly convey the proper messaging and functionality that has been added.

      2. 1

        Please only change the design to something modern if it improves your conversion rate, not because someone on the Internet said so.

        I know several websites that go on purpose with an outdated or cheaper look because it signals stability, cheapness, etc. A modern look is also fine if it increases the conversion rate with your target audience.
        These are all modern websites with modern backends, but the design and color are choosen on purpose with the target audience in mind.

      I'm personally curious what aspects of it you think look outdated? I'm not really up on what an ultra modern looking website should look like but their site looks pretty much in line with a lot of what I see from various SaaS sites.

      1. 1

        It's not always about being on-par with current design trends, but there is a big difference between a page that is designed well and a page that is not.

        I'm not a designer so my feedback won't be as professional as you might want to hear, but a couple of notes -

        • They use the Raleway font which is perhaps the "cheesiest" font out there.
        • Much of the design lacks clean typography and spacing within sections and between sections.
        • Many of the included assets (illustrations, images, and even button) are poorly designed.

        You can always check websites of established companies in the same field, for example -

May 30, 2018 New Paypal API Integration

We are excited to announce one of our “secret” features we have been working on behind the scenes.

This is MAJOR! We’re the very first shopping cart to integrate with the new Paypal API that we have been working privately with the Paypal development team on. A new on-page checkout experience, one-click upsells (without a Braintree account), instant commissions, no subscription limitations and so much more! Best of all this works for every vendor with a normal Paypal account. (yes, this is changing the game – and PayKickstart is excited to lead the way when it comes to innovation and empowering our vendors with the latest technology)

January 5, 2018 PayKickstart Affiliate Marketplace Opens

We are excited to announce that the PayKickstart Marketplace is now open. This will allow vendors to display their Campaigns/Products/Funnels inside the Marketplace where affiliates will be able to find your great offers to promote.

The goal here is to get you MORE affiliates to promote your offers without you having to manually reach out to each affiliate individually. We’re bringing them TO YOU.

The Marketplace will naturally only include the campaigns/products that you as the Vendor choose to share. You can Show/Hide any or all products.

And of course, there will be a vetting process so that we can ensure the Marketplace stays clean and contains only quality products for affiliates to promote.
