Thanks for the really comprehensive feedback.

I actually agree with every point you raise. We've got a great deal to improve upon but like you say at the end, it has only been a quick project thus far.

I hope you'll take a look back (or follow one of us on twitter - @tomcavill / @helvetitee / @ccharlesworth) so you can see the site improve over the next few weeks.

Thanks again for taking the time to comment.

Accept that. It looks a damn sight better on a light background, but we changed it to dark gray hours before launch. The image will be replaced shortly so I'll sort out my cutting skills then ;)

Guilty. We took a few shortcuts to get it done in our timeframe (4 days). We will of course be replacing this ASAP (we were originally going to use AA hence this image).

Just wanted to get the first version out there and pick up feedback.

Ha. Maybe too many. We're not closed to the idea of changing the name if we think of a good one. Suggestions?

Thanks re: bootstrap.

We view our simplicity as a benefit. Sure SpreadShirt and their ilk offer thousands of options, but when you just want a message printed clearly on a tshirt, we provide a solution that you can take advantage of in seconds. It's very easy to make a pig's ear of your shirt with those other services. With Helvetitee, it's actually hard to make something ugly.

Your point on the pricing is fair, it's something we'll have to monitor and find out what people are comfortable with.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah that could be made clearer. Thanks. Glad to hear you liked the rest.
