Confident in the many weeks of intensive beta testing, we now deem Build And Go roadworthy and ready for prime-time!  Hurtdidit's flagship website building software is officially out of beta at last.

Since our humble start in 1999, Hurtdidit has seen a growth surge in terms of client projects and staff size.  We are excited that as we celebrate the start of Year Nine, the future is looking as bright as ever!

Unfortunately, we have reached a saturation point.  With the launch of Build And Go 8, we must undergo upgrades for existing client accounts while continuing development of new features.  New staff is being trained in, and a more streamlined upgrade system is being worked out, but until that is done, we've had to make the decision to temporarily stop accepting new clients.  This is the second time we have done so this year, as we focus on current clients as our top priority.

Our existing clients' needs come first, and I am confident that we will be able to open the floodgates back up in a few weeks.  Prospects who have already received proposals from us will still be honored if they decide to select Hurtdidit for their projects.

Please contact us to be placed on the waiting list, or if you have a particularly critical project.  I can't make any promises, but we might be able to squeeze you in.

Thank you for your patience and continued enthusiasm for our services!

We are very pleased to announce that Build And Go version 8 is undergoing a "soft rollout" as scheduled, today.

A soft rollout means that we are upgrading select accounts and testing to ensure everything is working.  When we have verified that all is well, we will increase the scope of the rollout, upgrading more client accounts individually.

All clients will be contacted beforehand to advise of their account upgrade.  Minimal site downtime is expected (if any).

With the release of Build And Go version 8.0.5 BETA today, the much-anticipated 8-8-08 release date for Version 8 is on schedule.

It's not every day we get the opportunity to work with a respected horologist.  In fact, until recently we weren't even sure what that meant!

The proprietor of Dakota Clock Works in Glen Ullin, North Dakota traces his lineage through a long line of Swiss clock makers as far back as 1529.  Though his profession is aged, his online presence will be anything but.  Dakota Clock Works' new website will be designed by the talented graphic designers of LoAnn's Marketing Inc. with Hurtdidit providing the programming and Build And Go website builder for easy updates.

We are thrilled to welcome our first horology client (now that we know what that means)!

With our staff working their collective tails off, I have the privilege of announcing the release of Build And Go version 8.0.4 BETA.

Two years ago, we began work on the next version of our flagship website editor, Build And Go.  Version 7 was admittedly plagued by delays and more bugs than we could shake a stick at.  I never was quite comfortable releasing it for client use, and so it never saw the light of day.  This winter, after agonizing and much reflection, I decided that it was a lost cause, and we scrapped the Version 7 code and started over, nearly from scratch.

Sometimes, on rare occasion, I manage to make a decision that turns out to be a good one.  Hold on, folks; I think this may have been one of those anomalies!

We have been busily working on the next version of Build And Go, our popular website builder, for quite some time now.  It's been undergoing in-house beta testing since the end of February, after almost two years of development.  It's a significant upgrade from the current version, 6.5.
 
I am excited to announce that today we have integrated the Hurtdidit website to use Build And Go to manage every facet of the site's content.  That's how confident we are in the improvements we have been making (more to come on just what those improvements are, in a future post).

If all goes to plan, next week we will begin a soft-rollout (limited release to select clients).  Stay tuned!
