Over the past year-and-a-half I've been actively looking for a free or reasonably priced self-hosted autoresponder solution. I came across many... from free to paid, from Wordpress plugins to self-installed scripts. They were either too expensive for my tastes, quite buggy or flat out did not perform in a reliable manner. Eventually, I somehow stumbled across Maian Responder.
This self-hosted autoresponder installs in a straight forward manner and has an easy to use front-end interface. Functionally simple without too many bells and whistles and it works fantastic. In addition, David's support is second to none.
Buying this software was the best investment that I made this year, because I have tried to go above and beyond in customising it to fit my needs, which has resulted in me learning a lot about PHP, mySQL, etc. (Prior to this, I simply knew my way around HTML and CSS).
The PHP is positively FILLED with helpful comment lines so that someone new to PHP can still find their way around and make edits without breaking the operation.
We've been using the Cart for a few months now and as always the support team at Maian always answer our questions. I had to let people know about this because I thought it was awesome!
We had to refund a customer the other day (very rare for us) but refunded her through the PayPal account she paid with. I then went into the Cart Admin to cancel the order but couldn't find it!
I checked the Sales list and it has already been automatically set to "refunded" now how COOL is that! even our £25.00 a month cart didn't have that option! Its the simplest things that make all the difference.
Looking forward to the next release of the Cart!
Maian Greetings has always been a favourite of mine and the first Maian script I ever used. I have been using it since about the first ever version and I loved it then, well, I love it even more now.
It is even more intuitive and user-friendly than it was then, and the possibilities are even greater now (eg. the ability to add cards in the shape of Youtube films).
I would say, keep going, keep up the good work
This is EXACTLY what i was looking for
As a sound and film expert, as well as a web programmer, I believe Maian Media knows enough about the complex world of music, which often requires not just one's being a skilled software developer, but also being deep in to the music industry.
We use Maian Music for one of our music webshops and we are pleased to recommend this script to everyone looking for a simple and powerful music shop
After trying numerous free support ticket programs, I came across Maian Support. Compared to the rest that I tried this one not only looks more professional but it works more professional than the others. After two short days trying the free version I immediately purchased the full version. I especially like how the frequently asked question section is integrated into the program.

I`m very happy after testing that we will have such a fine system to serve some of our communication needs. Very well thought out and effective system.
I have been using Maian products for a number of years. Any problems, contact the guys & the problem will be sorted. Possibly the friendliest company, selling top quality software at the best possible prices.
This might sound like an advert, it is not, it is one very happy customer wishing to share his good fortune with other people.
I have been using phpcart up till a while ago, because it is no longer being supported. I can tell you your cart software beats the hell out of theirs.
If you have a testimonial you would like to send us, please contact us.
