SixCentral and the Future
I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself, since I’ve not had a chance to do that yet. As Ryan mentioned in his excellent post, my name is Ruben Gamez and I recently reached an agreement to acquire ownership of SixCentral.
I’m very excited about where I see things heading; SixCentral users are going to find themselves in a great spot. I see so many possibilities in this area. Things that haven’t been done before.
That being said, you can bet everything you’re going to see will be driven by user feedback.
A little about myself
I apologize if this section is on the short side, but I’ll admit I’m more interested in the part where I talk about SixCentral than anything else.
I’ve worked in web design for over 10 years using languages like ColdFusion, Java, Groovy, Python, and Ruby. I’ve spent 5 of those years managing web development teams.
I’m very much into user experience design and believe that clean, simple, but functional user interfaces are the key to great applications. I think design is important; beautiful design is inspiring.
The future of SixCentral
I’m sure there are a few questions about what this change in ownership means to SixCentral and its users. I’ll try to answer as much as I can next.
What I can tell you right now:
- Free accounts will stay as they are, no changes will take place to current proposal, invoicing, and client limits.
- The price of paid accounts for this version of SixCentral will stay the same.
- A new version of SixCentral will come out with added features that’ll knock your socks off. The price will probably increase when this happens — pricing for current SixCentral paid users will not change.
- There may be additional plan types in the future, you’ll probably see some changes here but existing plans will be honored.
- The SixCentral design and user interface will not be going away; we’re off to a great start here and I want to build on this.
While I listed most of the important items, there are a few important things I haven’t decided on yet but I’ll be reaching out to SixCentral users to help me here. I hope this helps answer most of the questions that you may have.
