Quick Update - Keep An Eye Out

Hello All,

Just a quick update tonight:

1) We have now set a date for the release of our next FreeGreen Product Line the Simple Villa.  We are aiming to get this out on July 7th.  We apologize for the slight delay on this but with the July 4th weekend in the way this is what we think is realistic (even FreeGreeners have to take vacations).

2) It looks like we are going to have some big PR announcements coming over the next few days so stay tuned.  We should know more tomorrow or early Friday on this and will certainly let you know as soon as we do.

3) By July 7th we are adding a new feature.  You will now be able to PRINT YOUR PLANS through FreeGreen.  Now we must admit that this will not be a free service.  We did look into it but could not make it work.  For a very competitive $60 per construction document set you will be able to print our plans (in 24" by 36" format) and ship them anywhere in the United States.  For our non-US users we are working on the details for outside the US shipping and will have that up and working soon.  We hope that you will support us through this service and come to use for all of your FreeGreen printing needs.

FreeGreen Turns 500!

Hello All,

Just a quick post tonight.  I wanted to share with everyone that (on the same night) FreeGreen has crossed the 500 member, and 500 download threshold.  This means that we have averaged about 14 new users signing up and 14 downloads per day since our launch.  I want to thank everyone for such great support along the way. 

 Just as an update we will be having a number of other PR-bog articles coming out over this week and next so keep an eye out (obviously we will announce them here as well).  Also, the design of the Smart Box product line is going well and we hope to be able to share a number of renderings with you next week.  That's all for now, we will update you as soon as possible on our progress.
