To proclaim Alpha, Beta or not at all
As we get closer to launching Yourville to the public. And, fully anticipate the site to not perform 100% all the time and or change on a daily basis. Does it matter if we proclaim ourselves to be in Alpha phase or does the general web public really care? I often see websites that carry a beta tagline with their logo for months or even a year. I generally don’t think any differently if the site is in beta or not. If the site performs well and keeps me interested then great. If the site doesn’t perform well, I’m normally pretty forgiving and assume that the site owners are aware of the problem and are working on it. Does anyone have an opinion on this? As it stands for now, we plan on letting our visitors and members know that we are a growing site and fully expect that the site will change as our community grows and voices their needs. I don’t suspect adding Alpha or Beta to all of logos will make much of a difference to anyone.

Alpha or Beta make no difference to me. I assume websites are in constant revision and that everything that is out there is in some phase of improvement.
