  • Perch v4 license model

    My 2 cents: I support perpetual license with maintenance as a good compromise.


    Out of box thinking - I wonder what would happen if Perch was offered for free, and Runway increased by the price that Perch was? Or have a free edition where everything worked, but put hard limits on collection item/product counts? Marketing and incentives for new users are important, and these things could be improved for Perch.


    As a creative frontend dev I've been working with CMS systems since Vignette Story Server days of late 90's early 00's. It no longer exists, the founders retired early having made millions from hard-selling their clunky difficult system to enterprise. But is that the goal? To make millions and retire early? Story Server was bad, but I've seen a lot worse in the CMS space. Perch Runway is a breath of fresh air compared with memories of clunky control panels of the past, or "do you want fries with that" plugin ecosystems of the present. Wordpress gives me a headache, there's always something bleeting at you for attention in the admin panel. Perch is more relaxed, and I hope that continues. It needs to continue one way or the other!

  • jquery-2.2.4.min.js:2 Uncaught Error: Syntax error

    Looks like you're trying to execute jquery before the document is ready.


    This bit here:

    Code
    1. $("#footer_quick_contact_form").validate({...

    You need to put any jquery in the document ready function....

    Code
    1. $(document).ready(function(){
    3.     $("#footer_quick_contact_form").validate({...
    5. });

    I'm guessing this might be the problem, but there's a lot of bloat on the page and the problem might be something else.
