When I thought about building our first start-up, I knew that it must be something unique because we were late in this game, and the only chance we had was to be better at everything. There are several companies out there that resell Flash Stock (meaning you can find it on different websites, at different prices), but these companies do not build what they sell, so they cannot fully guarantee for their products quality or customer support.
This made all the difference, and I knew that this is the direction we need to approach. We have the right skills, and we can compete with any company when it comes to building Flash Components. While on other markets the products are built by early starting freelancers of any age (13+ yrs), in our team every developer (24+ yrs) comes with many years of experience and professional studies (BS in Computer Science).
I decided to find the best people to work with. Nobody can beat that! :-)
There have been several months of development, and the development is still in progress. I will write about this more, but I want to describe a bit what makes us different now, from a customer’s point of view. The customers wouldn’t care less if naked girls or nerds are working on a product, as long as it’s working right. Well, we’re naked nerds, and the products we build are exceptional! :)
Flabell provides high quality Flash Components and excellent customer service, at affordable prices.
Let me repeat that:
- high quality Flash Components
- excellent customer service
- affordable prices
1. High quality Flash Components
- we follow conventions to build our Flash Components with the same structure – this makes it easy for any customer to reuse any of our components, because no two files are different
- we write exceptional code, object oriented, AS3 based – this should be a guarantee of our involvement, but also an example for those who purchase a product to learn from it
- our designs are vectorial (.ai files), integrated directly in Flash – it’s very important to have a file optimized in every way, so we make sure that the smallest details are taken into consideration
- all source files and fonts included – this helps our customers to make any changes they need, and learn from our files
- our products are highly customizable (xml based): size, colors, settings – this makes our products remarkable, and every user can change a product so much, that two customizations of the same Flash Component, can make the same product look totally different
- reusable in html or other AS3 Flash projects – no restrictions at all, either used in another Flash project, or a static website
- highly creative, original and useful – naked nerds are always creative
- true diversity – our road map is clear: we’ll build any kind of Flash Component, and then improve and diversify it – this is why we release newsletters, contact forms, drop downs, check boxes, rating systems, templates, video players, video galleryes, slideshows, banner rotators, zoom utilities, 360 rotators, panoramic viewer, etc..
2. Excellent customer service:
- staff’s #1 priority is customer support, on both email and comments page of each product
- we provide video tutorials for helping our users to understand difficult (or not so common) issues
- we provide help files, which users can read online, before they download and use the product
- download and use before purchase – it’s an option any of our Flash Component has, so you can download and use the Flash Component in your project on your local server, before you purchase it. This helps you see if this component fits your needs, before you purchase it
- view more examples and the customization level of a component – we provide a link where we show different customization options for our products, from which users can see how highly customizable that particular product is
- we’re working on releasing an online forum for the community, and we hope this will help our users in many ways
3. Affordable prices:
- featured flash component always on sale (usually at 50% price)
- we give Gold Tickets, received after purchasing 10 Flabell products in a year – by using one, a user gets a file for free
- we give Silver Tickets, received after purchasing three consecutive commercial products – by using one Silver Ticket, you will be able to purchase a product at half it’s price
- membership – it’s an option that opens our library to a customer for a year, so you can download any of our Flash Components for free
- 10 gold tickets bundle pack – makes any product ridiculously cheap!
- monthly free files – our users can see what they can expect from a Flabell product, before they make a purchase
- purchase once, and use as many times as you need license – this isn’t a typo. You can use one Flabell Flash Component for 10 different websites or many more, with no additional payment to us. We’d love to see how creative you can get!
- many payment options – PayPal, Credit Card, Google Check-Out, MoneyBookers (some are still in development)
- purchase without registering – we don’t want to take too much of your time
4. On top of that..
We are a very passionate team, which is always available for customizing any of our products, to fit your exact needs. We’re part of Vuzum team, and every Flabell component is built at the same standards our clients expect us to deliver: exceptional quality. This is what makes us different!
We are giving back to our community, not only by giving away free files and providing excellent customer service, but also by allowing them to use our affiliate (referrals) program, through which they can help our Flabell community grow, but also earn money while doing so (up to 50% of each referred user’s first purchase).
We have “New Flash Components every week!“
