Youzign, One Year Later

First of all, I’d like to say a big THANK YOU to you for supporting Youzign, whether you joined on 18th September 2014 when we launched the Youzign beta or just a few days for the Youzign relaunch.

We are (finally) starting to make incredible progress as a company and maturing Youzign has a strong software product.

This is mainly thanks to the incredible Youzign team, which everyday keeps on working diligently to make your life easier.

The new Youzign color picker will include new a beautiful palette — Sneak-peek: the new Youzign color picker will include a beautiful color palette (design by Obed @youzign)

In fact, we keep on pushing and iterating with new updates each day. I can assure you that we are restless in making Youzign better.

For instance just today we actually revamped the shadow UI, for the 3rd time in 7 days. This even led to some discussion on our Facebook group on whether our decision was the correct one. And as usual, your feedback is more than appreciated and always helps us stirring the platform in the right direction.

Now the other good news I wanted to share with you is that the Youzign team is growing. In fact to accommodate for the growth of our userbase we are currently recruiting a webinar host/ess and also have already hired two new designers.

And it’s in this light you that I’d like you to meet the new “Art Whisperer” at Youzign,Obed.. Obed is a true artist, but rather than a long winded introduction just watch this timelapse video of Obed drawing with nothing but an iPad, using the fantastic ProCreate app (and an Apple Pencil)

So what does this mean for you? Well for one you will notice a drastic improvement of the design quality in Youzign. We are introducing Youzign Roots this month, a set of new backgrounds, color palettes and fonts that will let you create beautiful designs in a jiffy.

Secondly, Obed will be applying his magic to all our previews (such as the 3D ~~ebook~~ product covers, business card previews, etc.). To be honest right now our previews effects look OK, but not amazing. Now with our new capacity as a team will bring you nothing short but amazing graphics rooted in true art, and not just graphic manipulation.

Excited times ahead for this year, and it’s only February!

Best,

and the Youzign team.

Congratulations on the growing team and the outstanding value that Youzign has become. For those of us who have heavy graphics needs for our web projects, Youzign is a godsend, Bertrand.
I’ve been following your career for a few years now, and it’s great to see you achieving so much that could have been predicted from your early promise online.

I don’t really understand what all that mean, but it sounds interesting.

As a new member, I can only admire what you have created with YouZign.

However, now that I am on the “inside”, I believe your focus should be on member support above all else. It’s clearly lacking and not a priority. I think you know that.

Please address this. Don’t worry so much about upsells – pay more attention to customers who have paid and the MANY unanswered questions within the support area.

You have a program with potential…make it the best by addressing the above. SIMPLE.

And with the greatest of respect, Bertrand, this…

“Bertrand is the founder of YMB Properties and is known to be deeply
passionate about 3 things: thinking about Youzign, building Youzign and
creating a great team around Youzign : )”

Mentions nothing about the most important point of all…

Customer satisfaction.

Please address unanswered support questions from paying members by email and within YouZine support from 5 days ago.

Thank you.

  Hey Mjames we are almost through our backlog of tickets so you should hear back from us very soon. Our number #1 priority this week (and always) has been to take care of our users and create value for you. We were taken short by the success of the launch and some quirks in our payment processor and registration system but Ill make sure we get to you in time. I tried to look up your username mjames in the helpdesk but couldnt locate it, if you can email me at bertrand@youzign.com I’ll be more than happy to help you out (or Skype: omassore)

  When I recommend Youzign to others – I always mention the very responsive customer support team I’ve experienced over the past 12 months. So Mjames, it will be good to hear back from you after you’ve experienced the same – which I’m certain you will as long as you have actually emailed Bertrand @bertranddo:disqus , and they can actually find you in the system. ~ Kathy

Absolutely loving Youzign. In fact, I got a bit addicted to it over the past few days as I worked to create my first ever graphic design using proper software (I did logo editing via powerpoint before lol right? XD) which also happens to be my first ever shirt design which I am creating for TeeSpring!

It is funny because with the shirt design, I initially simply wanted to make a rough sketch of it to hand it over to one of the designers at Youzign so that they can make a better work of it. However, as I worked through my rough design, I went deeper and deeper into all the features and the images provided in Youzign and before I knew it, I pretty much had a very good looking shirt that I was very proud of! Talk about working with passion! Really gave me an eye opener of how much I enjoyed using Youzign and my new found love for…designing!

I then became more aware of the Youzign punch-line and well, it really resonated with me! Great affirmation line to repeat to yourself before starting designing 🙂

Thank you so much Bertrand! I am a true believer of your software. Yes there are bugs here and there (I immediately send bug requests through : P. Love that in-built function) but I not only believe, I KNOW for a fact that these are going to be ironed out sooner or later just because you guys are so passionate about what you do.

Gosh, I really got carried away there but that is only because I am really speaking from my heart here!

Lots of love to you guys and keep up the good work!
