New TextMagic web site just launched

by Priit Vaikmaa

TextMagic founder Dan Houghton created TextMagic in 2001. Back then it was all one person: software was developed by Dan, he made all designs, and also provided customer support. Let us go back and look how TextMagic homepage design has evolved since.

During 2007 – 2009 we changed homepage three times. Finally we have a site design that pleases all our team members and we hope you like our latest update too. Please visit www.textmagic.com and post your feedback to comments section below.

For your amusement I will post some screenshots with original designs. If you too would like to see your old site just check out this cool service called The Wayback Machine.
