Reaching a product milestone
September 23, 2012
Last week, I mentioned that we updated our logo. Some of you might have also noticed a small textual change -- we believe our service has matured enough to call it beta. When we launched the site a couple of years ago, we knew that we had a lot more ground to cover. Nevertheless, we also knew that if we delayed the launch, we would miss out on valuable feedback. Our solution was to launch the site as alpha to indicate that the site was very much under development.
Since the launch, our site has improved in a number of ways:
- Providers can now claim their profiles and update relevant information about themselves
- Our search form and search results page are now (hopefully) more intuitive
- We have expanded geographic coverage
- We have added information from state licensing boards as well as information about reviews from around the web
- Our search results are generated much faster than before
Some of our other improvements have been less visual. For example, we now update information more frequently than before. We have also refined our data extraction software to be more precise.
We have many more ideas on how to improve our service during this beta phase. If you'd like us to prioritize any improvements that you have in mind, please let us know.
