Garett Press@garettpress · Marketing Director, Verst
Hi Hunters! I'm the marketing guy at Verst. We are all extremely pumped to get this baby out in the world and start hearing your feedback and ideas!

@garettpress This was so simple and easy to use. Nice work - will see if the data driven bells and whistles are a game changer! Some feedback: - When publishing, selecting a category - there was no help there, so didn't really know what to choose, am I adding to a public category? Is it a personal category only? Some suggestions/examples would be helpful. -… See more

@bentossell @garettpress Hi Ben, Thank you so much for the feedback! Re: your first bullet, category is meant as both an organizational filter (like a tag) and as a way to organize your menu (and does appear publicly). We are working right now on (a) allowing you to organize this in a more granular way (b) a way to allow sub menus (so multiple levels for t… See more

@bentossell thanks for the in-depth feedback and your help! between the S3 outage yesterday and YouTube/Google both launching products, we really chose a winning launch data! hahah Glad the issues you mentioned were things we're already working on, and that the overall the experience was smooth! Let me know when you're ready to transfer the PH blog :)

@garettpress @verst Why the name Verst?

We're definitely working on a "Worst vs. Verst" campaign ;)

Garett Press@garettpress · Marketing Director, Verst
@prestonattebery Hey PA! Well we're immediately different in that we're not building landing pages. We're for fully functional websites and blogs (works better for blogs right now, but building towards more website functionality). I also don't see much about mobile on their site. We're fully mobile-first. You can easily draft and optimize a long-form piece o… See more
