The current status of Perch is that we are working on Perch 2.9, which involves our biggest UI redesign to date. There are some sneak peeks in this blog post grabaperch.com/blog/archive/a-glimpse-of-the-perc…
We launched Perch Shop this year, which was a huge project and we're now just starting to see the first e-commerce projects being launched on Shop.
There is always a bunch of things going on at once! Our core customers are small to medium agencies along with freelance designers and developers so typically people building lots of sites per year. We see everything from agencies who specialise in websites for dentists through to marketing sites for household brands, sports teams and event sites.
