All summer long we’ve been very busy, burning the midnight oil as they say, on lots and lots of fixes, new features, refinements and redesign.

Now, all that hard work is supposed to pay off with an upcoming slew of betas, releases and much more. Stay tuned, as we unveil the fruits of our hot summer labour.

For starters, we’ve uploaded a new version for SpeedBit.com. It looks entirely different now. Our team went back to the drawing board, and essentially re-designed the whole aesthetic concept for the website.

But the graphic changes are just the tip of the iceberg - as we also rebuilt the site structure & topology from scratch. For the first time, SpeedBit users can browse, review, download and buy all of our software from within a single website.

All of our products (DAP, SpeedBit Video Accelerator, MailInfo, etc.), our web services (FileFlyer, FileRatings.com) can be easily found and downloaded in a single click, using a simple but effective navigation.

When facebook launched their new website facelift, not long ago, the web was filled with reviews and comments, for and against (examples here and here). It seemed almost everybody had an opinion about it and that can only be a good thing!

We encourage you to do the same: Let us know what you like and dislike in our new design. What else would you like to see in Speedbit.com and what is “just right” as it is?

You are more than welcome to leave your comments here, or leave a link to your review, if u want to display it on your personal site or blog.

We hope you will be excited with the new SpeedBit.com as we are!
If you only know SpeedBit through just one of our products - now is your chance to explore all of our other products and services - most of them are free and the rest are free to try!

Happy browsing

Without drum beats or horn blows, we released the new version of the SVA website late last week.
When we release a new software version, it always seems “more important”, than merely facelifting a few web pages.
But the truth of the matter is, there is more to redesigning a website, than just plain “aesthetic optimization”, especially in this case.

Together with the SpeedBit design team, we decide that a complete re-design is needed, rather than a “patch job” on the old site.
We didn’t feel obligated to stay within the confines of a standard, color-on-white, corporate website presumptions and the result is the slick, stylish, dark-gray (it’s not black - see Ohad? I remember ) design you can see now. We love it.

In addition to overhauling the visual design, we also wanted to implement more features that we already knew we want, but never had time to put them in.
There’s a new Frequently Asked Questions section under Help, with new Q&As from our support team, including a brand-new online firewall guide.

We improved & redesigned the Server Status page, now completely database driven, which now allows you to see which of our 100+ supported sites is compatible with your SVA version in real time.
The new Buy page was redesigned to better address PC iTunes users.

All of the coverage and media exposure we got since we first released SVA, was also reorganized and redesigned, and can now be easily thumbed through in our Press section or directly from the homepage.

So even though this wasn’t a “new version release”, it was still a not-so-small challenge, and we are very happy and proud to offer our users a better browsing experience.
I know we are excited about the new videoaccelerator.com and I can just hope you will be too, when you see it.
So what are you waiting for, come on down!

I wish I could start this post with a drum roll. There are so many more things we want to do with SpeedBit Video Accelerator, that every beta release is like a small step forword. We managed to eliminate many “false positive” detections by security apps. Also solved some issues with the “recently accelerated” list, and improved the Vista support.

We really hope this version is going to take us foreward. Of course, as ever, we would highly appreciate your feedback and comments, so we can nip out all the bugs and quirks. Especially since SpeedBit Video Accelerator supports over 50 video sites in this version, we need as much people as possible just watching videos, so we can see how well it works, what can we improve even more, and what other sites we should think about adding.

You can just leave your comment here, or you can contact our support. In any case, any information form you, would be invaluable to us.
