I'm glad you believe in simplicity too. Don- a new update is coming soon. Ben's putting some final touches on the media player, so I'll post some videos on that once he's done (It's ridiculously awesome, by the way). Thanks for the props, guys.

And the design of your logo and type is strong and good enough to let your audience know the type of website that they will get from you. I agree.

Cool water after many, many parched miles needs no descriptors - it simply is what it is - exactly what was needed. Ginned up descriptions will never approach the way it actually tastes going down. Thanks for being the kind of people with the kind of product that doesn't need slick talk. Jim & Friends,

The teaser ellegance to entice you long enough to go under the hood - sort-of-speak. Ellegance and simplicity isn't for everyone but I haven't heard anyone who doesn't like our clover website yet. Definitely on the right track. What I like about the simple stated arrow is exactly what I like about clover. The teaser ellegance to entice you long enough to go under the hood – sort-of-speak.

I agree with the simplistic approach you took with your advertising. I've got a rotating gif on my website linking to clover. It's simple and has smiling faces on it. :) Awesome.

Clover websites are clean, crisp and elegant. We love what we have been able to do with Clover at an affordable cost to our church. But (and this is not a but that refutes what I just said) - but we would like more updates on your Greenhouse 2.0 development. Your site has remained static since posting the 26 October update. (This date is easy for me to remember, because its our wedding anniversary.) Would you please post more details and provide an indication when you will be adding some of the new components of Greenhouse 2.0?
