Fantastic article - I've been a Global Moxie/Big Medium/Josh Clark fan for over a year now - great concept, great product, great person!

BigMedium is a great press product! Josh have an unfinished power.

Great article! It's nice to know a little about the man who is responsible for making web publishing a breeze for us. Honestly, using Big Medium has done exactly what Josh said in the iterview, web publishing is now something I'm excited about and, who'd-a-thunk it - fun!

Great interview :) I'm too an ISV and also it's a mom-pop shop, and it's as if I read my own interview.

I'd like to add to the advice given to the question: "What is the most important single piece of advice you would give someone who is considering writing, selling, and supporting a Web-based software product?" -> Ship it. A lot of people are good in starting a project but only the ones which get shipped are actually important and could offer you the oppertunity to get the bills payed. When you're developing alone, it's very hard to get that dicipline going every time you have to ship a newer version: you have to find the balance between "it's good enough for me, so customers should just eat it" and "I won't release it until I'm absolutely satisfied. ".

Fantastic interview! If there were more hours in the day, I'd suggest that Mr. Clark become a speaker in the business school arena. The value of his perspective, work ethic, and laser-like focus on the customer, serve as a guide not only to ISVs but to all budding entrepreneurs. Great read.

great article. great to see josh and his product in the spot light. he's an amazing and creative guy, who always over delivers.

Can't say enough about Big Medium and Josh's customer support.

I use his product and it is very nice indeed. Plus, Josh offers the best product support that I've seen.. He even provides product code changes to support his customers "tweak" requests!

Check out his forums and you will see how quickly he answers the help requests of his users.

Nice interview, very good tips on personal productivity. Although my situation is quite different, at this moment I consider myself lucky if I get 30 minutes of coding per week, and I'd dream of having 2 three-hours blocks per day.

Still, nice to know I have one smart neighbor in the Paris Beaubourg area :-)

I struggled for so long on the very same issue oc content management and Josh's product has been a dream come true.. I also wish to add that his page construction is so search engine friendly with titles, meta tags, robot txt files etc...it is uncanny that it is automated that way...

A truly wonderful product and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Josh for president. We struggled from 1995 with content management till I found Big Medium. I was about to make the decision to go with PostNuke or Xoops and something told me to look again. I sing the praises everyday. Thanks Josh.

Three cheers for Josh. Guys like him are extremely rare, both in talent and customer service. Just a class act. We use his products on 2 servers that actually run several dozen radio station and other type websites. Seeing a new users face never gets old. They all love the product. Best kept secret on net, but probably not for long!

Thanks for publishing this article. In this day of internet anonymity its good to be able to see beyond the text and see the person or people behind the web products. It's both reassuring (as a client/potential customer), and inspiring.

I was with the running website during the time Josh did our development work. He is amazing in action and was greatly under-appreciated. So good to see he is sticking to his dream and goal.
