Rather than hammering him, try to be constructive - but still be honest.  I am 
sure melco doesn't want to hear everything is peaches and cream if it isn't, so 
use this chance for an opportunity to give feedback to someone who is 
apparently actually listening!

My thoughts on the LE was to allow people to get their feet wet with the 
product.  Maybe sell 10-20 items and put a cap on it.  If the normal version 
allows 50 fonts to choose from, allow 5 of the most popular.  If the full 
version has 1000 stock designs, maybe the light has 100. Maybe you pay a 
percentage per sale as the cost for the product instead of paying a 
monthly/yearly fee (like the cafe press model)?  This would allow customers to 
grow into the product.  Fact is the point of entry is just too high as are the 
recurring costs.

Sure, off the shelf ecommerce systems aren't going to allow for customization 
to the degree that live designer does but they also can be had for $500-1200 
outright with no more fees.

So, if melco hit the market with a Light or Limited Edition version of the 
product (like what adobe does with Photoshop - Photoshop Elements) and just 
distills the elements that you need to see the value of the product, then sales 
in the long run, and those seeing value in the product could certainly expand.

We did hear a lot of issues with Search Engine Optomization (SEO) in Live 
Designer.  Has anything been done to address that?  ----- We actually have done 
several things to address SEO.  The first being the LiveDesigner Suite 
eMarketing Manual.  This manual is a comprehensive guide written for 
LiveDesigner Suite customers that gives them a step by step guide on how to 
market their online business.  Everything from SEO, to Google Adwords, to how 
to advertise on Facebook, local business search, and every other way to market 
your online business is covered in the guide.  

We also have now allowed customers access to the html code.  This gives them 
the ability to inject meta content into any and every page of their 
LiveDesigner Suite site.  

Keep in mind that there is no magic bullet for SEO, real organic search engine 
results take time.  The documentation we provide shows what to do and how to do 
it in order to maximize your SEO efforts.

Thanks!
