Cheers. We worked hard on the Responsive Layout

#43looks nice, minor suggestion - some of the fonts look like hell on XP/Chrome and they're very hard to read. Congrats on launch
Yeah top right nav links look horrible for me in Win7/Chrome, as do the testimonials at the bottom.

#44I'm interested in why you'd go with 'Treehouse' as the name considering the trademark space for educational content is already pretty cluttered for that term. Was this considered and dismissed?
There is a bit of clutter, in the traditional education space. However, there wasn't anything with a good online presence, so we thought it was a great name.
Not going to be able to buy treehouse.com for awhile though, as they want $1m for it.

#45Seems really interesting. What differentiates Treehouse from Code Academy?
Has any progress been made with Codecademy? I still only see three JavaScript courses. Has no one contributed to the lessons?

#46Please add subtitles to the videos. I don't always watch with sound and would like to be able to read as I go along.
Hi Chris. Great news! We already have Captions. If you see any videos that don't have them, could you please email us and we'll take care of it: help@teamtreehouse.com
Gracias

#47Congrats guys. Way to represent Orlando!
Thanks! You don't have to be in Silicon Valley :)

#48"Watch videos and take tests"
Am I missing something? That's your learning method? Nothing interactive? No coding? Videos may be a fine way of understanding a process but it's not good for something as in-depth as coding. You don't learn code by watching videos of others doing it, you learn by coding.
The site design is nice but you'd need to offer a lot more than videos to get me to sign up.

#49The site looks great and very user friendly, but as others have pointed out, the paid-tier-only seems too restrictive. Specially given the motto of treehouse is "Millions of people can't afford a quality technical education, or if they can, it's out of date immediately when they graduate. We aim to change that."
How can this compare to MIT (and other) Open Course Work and hundreds if not thousands of good free tutorials on the internet Vs $25/$49 a month?
FWIW, I learned basics of web development/design totally free, just took a bit of searching to find good resources, and once I was confortable with basics, the further education came through just googling-on-demand, videos only helped in the beginning.

#50Congrats on the (re)launch! I used ThinkVitamin a little bit earlier this year, and it's great to see you guys moving forward. It wasn't for me at the time, but may be in the future. I don't know if it was just the timing (I was really busy) or the format (video isn't for everyone), but I was impressed with the product regardless.
One thing to note on the new site: clicking "Sign your team up" on this page: http://teamtreehouse.com/groups just takes you back to this page: https://teamtreehouse.com/subscribe/plans, where clicking on "Sign up" takes you to a page with no indication of how to sign up for a group plan.
