Hot on the heels of our recent announcement regarding Platter 2.0, we’ve got two more announcements to make today. Back in 2013, we introduced Memberships on Beautiful Pixels. The support we received from our loyal readers was overwhelming and it was great to welcome our monthly and yearly members.
Many of our members wrote in to us regularly with their feedback about the site and it not only helped us improve the site, but also motivated us & immensely helped us shape version 5.0 of Beautiful Pixels, which they had early access to. BP 5.0 not only introduced a new design for the site, but also laid the the groundwork for us to functionally do much more.
Memberships 2.0
The membership costs just $4/month or $29/year. This time, We are also offering the option of a Free membership that will let you participate in the Community Forums (more about this in a second) as well as a Patron membership.
