The website fmstarter.com was started over a decade ago. It accumulated debris over time, became slow and at times unresponsive. It had to be improved. What are the changes now?
It was not just the content that became a lot. Images were missing the appropriate quality required today. Some topics no longer were important. FileMaker has improved, and some tools became obsolete. By providing a setup with 3 supported languages, much complexity had been added. Some of these things mattered once, but no longer matter today.
A fresh start
Some bold decisions were taken:
- Delete all posts
- Get back to a single language
- Rebuild everything (product descriptions, downloads, freebies, videos).
All of this has been happening during the last two months.
Orders and purchases remained
While most content has been replaced or removed, your orders were kept safe. You will find your complete history in your account.
Standardization
To simplify both the website and our work, all tools have been updated and upgraded and now minimally require FileMaker Pro 20. For years, we supported solutions for older systems back to FileMaker 12 as well, but no longer. Simplifying requires bold decisions, also about a standardization of offerings.
Updates and upgrades
Important improvements have been made for all our products and new versions have been made. Whatever is online today already have these improvements. New versions for products and all freebies included. If anything is still missing today, it might just be in a state of advanced progress for a next update.
Looking forward
Once the heavy lifting on this new site has been completed, more regular posts can be expected. Thank you for appreciating and using our services.
