I'm a long time user of SH3D.

- Yes it is dated (and very fast) - so what? The app is the important thing, the website works.

- If you need to find it, you will. I cannot recall failing to find download links (at least two of them on the home page)

- Mobile. Perhaps if you have a 21" screen on it!

ML? Not too sure about that here. Perhaps Ikea et al could run with that. I use it starting from reality. Perhaps hitching it up to a theodolite, EDM and other measuring tools would be more useful than a "what if I could read your mind and get it badly wrong" tool.




- It would look more appealing to the users, and maybe lead to more recomandations

- People might not find it and just leave frustrated, resulting in lower users

Basically they created a nice software, but then "scare" away their users with their website. Not very ideal.


- The website is a matter of personal taste. I actually like it: fast and simple. It also needs no fix ups with uBlock Origin, P Badger and uMatrix running.

- There are at least two links on the homepage labelled Download. If you Google for it then Download is linked directly in the top hit. Big G can parse it OK and so can I. Also I got a few of my non technical staff to take a look and they all downloaded it OK. One of them then asked me to set it up for them - another SH3D customer in the making 8) They had watched the video on the home page and were positively salivating!

I understand where you are coming from but if you look at it carefully it is actually quite a decent presentation in my opinion. Just the facts and no flim flam.


Wow how touchy. Was just a suggestion
