Is that $25k in revenue? Profit? Or total transactions from which you take a %? Just curious. I really like your lean approach.

That 25k number was total transactions from which we take a 15 percent commission.

Pretty interesting. I wonder if that is 25k per month, in total revenue, gross profit etc.

This reminds me of Kyle Braggers Tinyproj project. I really wish he hadn't sold to GroupTalent (which subsequently killed it).

Ya, I loved Tinyproj when I was working freelance before ooomf. Hated to see it go.

Thanks for the heads up. We're working on it now.

Holy crap does the site's landing page look like Simple.

I don't think these are the only two sites using a big hero image overlaid with white Gotham/Lato/Proxima Nova headers...

Nice work people, I've read a number of your blog posts and one in particular stuck with me (the one about getting press). You've certainly got your own PR and marketing in general nailed, glad to hear you've now nailed your product.

Thanks Simon. That means a lot.
