Back (and) to The Future!

Well, that took a darn sight longer than we expected. We can't apologise enough for the downtime and to those of you who have sent such kind words or understanding and encouragement thanks!

We honestly didn't want to take things down at all, but believe me when I say that it is definitely for the best (more of that later).

We wanted to say sorry in a better way than just words; sure words are great and everything but they're nothing compared to good old fashioned money eh? So, with that in mind we've arrange for two special voucher codes to be added to the site.

MONEY-OFF

1) 20% off for EVERYONE - This if valid until the 20th and all you need to do is type 80UNTEE into the Gift Code box when you checkout.

You should find a nicely designed version of this voucher in your mail that you can send around to all of those people who perhaps would have bought your shirts should we had provided them with a site to let them do so :)

Please feel free to pass it around.

2) The BIG ONE. Because we are, genuinely sorry. So, for the next 50 hours we're offering 50% off of ALL of the shirts!

Again, just type BOUN733 into the Gift Code box when you (or your friends) check out and you'll have a whopping HALF-PRICE discount added to your order.

We know it's not going to completely make up for the downtime over this past week, but it's our little way of saying thanks for sticking with us. We're going to repay you by the bucket load very soon.


Which brings us nicely to the future; and the greater plans for Bountee.com.


It's my pleasure to announce today the official beta sign-up for our new site MySoti.com.

So what is MySoti?
Well, it's a massive extension to our current site, so it may help to think of it as an adoptive parent to the beautiful child that is Bountee. We're intending it to be a place where you can Make Your Stuff On The Internet. (URLs are hard to come by these days, ok? But we kind of like it :-p)

Over the coming weeks and months the work on MySoti will help mould and shape Bountee into the site that you all deserve; as well as adding new, exciting functionality AND products that we think - scratch that - we KNOW that you are going to love.

We'll be posting regularly here from now on, and we now have a crack team of three of us working full-time on the sites so that we can react and respond as quickly as possible to your comments and suggestions for improvements.

So what will MySoti add to the Bountee experience?
It's all a little hush, hush at the moment, but one of the biggest changes that you'll notice is a complete site rebuild and re-design. It'll be quicker, more responsive and even more usable; but still maintaining the simplicity that we always aim for.

Oh and it'll be prettier - much, much prettier.



We'll leave it here for now, but we'd love to know your thoughts, speculation etc. So please, comment below and let's make the future of making stuff online the best and easiest it can be; together.
