Franck — our design has gone through a few people. Originally we had some mockups done by a company in Toronto called Arktyp (http://www.arktyp.ca) which I would highly recommend.

Francis Wu came on board after and was instrumental in fine tuning the design. He also worked extensively on the Career Site design and implementation.

We had other help with the production of the site itself, because Francis was busy with the core application.

As for the details of the financing, we won’t release those publicly.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Heri..
Regarding the valuation ,as I said it was just by curiosity..as you may know, sometimes it is possible to find well-known startup valuations on the net ( flixster , facebook , tumblr etc..)

Hi everybody!
I have a question : does anybody here knows who took care of their overall web design? ( UX ).

Congrats to Standoutjobs..I’m just a bit curious about the pre/post-money valuation they agreed on?

Anyway , cheers to everyone!

Hi Austin

Great to hear about the customers. I saw standout got its first (volunteer) client hours after the launch last monday.

This is great news, standout is for now the major web startup to launch and should inspire other entrepreneurs.

Enjoy your stay at DEMO!
