For the last eight months, we worked on a challenging new project. Our plan was to create an open source, responsive WordPress theme dedicated to blogs, news and magazine websites. We wanted to craft a solution that will change the way users build and manage their sites. The development period is over, and we are proudly introducing ionMag.

We welcome any feedback and if you have any questions please ask here.

He lost me at "The most obvious potential successor to PHP is Ruby on Rails". why compare RoR framework written in ruby vs PHP programming language... go for Ror VS cakephp, RoR vs codeigniter, RoR vs symfony etc

I know what you’re saying but I really needed some help on this part of the project. For example when I was listing my site in web app directories or in the chrome web store I always tried to talk about my service in a very personal way (that made it look like a hobby) but after getting a lot of feedback here I will talk about the service in a professional way and about the company and plans in a personal way.

The feedback from this thread is amazing, thanks to all!

Your comment has some very good advice. I realized now that most of the marketing stuff that I’ve written was made with the assumption that the user is like me. I like reading about the developing process of an app… that’s why I thought it is important to broadcast that. I will try to read more about marketing and about how to know your clients and market. Thanks for your time.

1. The product is targeted towards small website owners that depend on it. (ecommerce, services that charge money)

2. When the product is finished I plan to add a payment plan for some additional features. People won’t read the about page even when they want to pay for the service?

3. Yes, your pro and personal is a very good suggestion … thanks!

I'm a one man startup.

My about page should be personal like: After working for 4 years as a server administrator for some medium to large websites and after having a lot of trouble with existing monitoring solutions I decided to build my own.

---OR---

Like a company: With our 4 year experience in the server management industry, we build this tool to help our clients… etc

please let me know what do you prefer.

Thanks!
