DMS 2 Is Club membership worth it?

[quinntinm 4]

Hello.

 

I want to try and see if anyone else feels as though the club membership is worthwhile.

I have to say i am not sure. $30 per month is a little steep - i am not sure if there are enough benefits, but perhaps i can be convinced?

 

I look forward to your feedback.

 

Thanks, have a great day.

That’s a very interesting question to ask. But I think the answers will vary depending on where you are financially in your career. If you are just starting out and don’t have client base to see paying the 30 bucks a month then naturally it wouldn’t be a good fit for you. But that just my 2 cents.

 

Personally at this point in my freelancing I don’t see a problem with the price per se. But I look at DMS probably a lot differently than most.  For me DMS is a valued member of my design team, I see it has an asset and tool to be used to bring my version of “Awesome” to my clients. And I want to have all the extra stuff at my disposal. If at some point it does not perform accordingly I give it a pink slip and look for something better.

 

Now with that being said I do think the club membership lacks some exclusiveness.  I would love to see a section, forum or another site just for devs to share ideas and things they learned. Currently the forum is mainly for support. People post their problems and Danny comes along with his magic wand and fixes it.

 

 Maybe I want to make a section and share it with the world but I don’t know where to begin. There are no videos or tutorials to follow and the old docs confuse the hell out of me. Pagelines devcamp is gone … Nick’s H basic section programing tutorial is gone.  ( I should have evernoted that whole site :( ) 

 

On a lighter side I have gotten to know some of the devs outside of the forums and it’s great to have a chance to bounce ideas off someone else who is stronger in design or code  than I am.

 

Sorry for the rant (writing eases my mind at times) but to sum it up for me it’s totally worth it. But there is also nothing wrong with wanting or expecting more.
