10 Vital Lessons for Web Start-Ups

I really enjoyed reading Carsonified‘s recent article on 10 Vital Lessons for Web Start-Ups [received via Smashing Magazine]. It’s an excellent account from the guys behind the new[ish], lightweight Perch CMS regarding the challenges and learnings in launching their first full product outside of their web development day jobs. It’s undoubtedly something that many small agencies/developers also face, or hope to face [ourselves included]. If nothing else, the article itself demonstrates an excellent PR exercise as I remember looking at Perch when it was launched and feeling that, without a demo, it wasn’t something I could evaluate quickly and, typically, haven’t been back since. However, amongst other things, the article explains how quickly such short-comings were revised and overcome. Looks like I better head back there soon and check out the now available demo!
