Last month, we were delighted to announce that, thanks to you, our excellent user base, we've been nominated in the CMS Critic awards in two categories! The vote is now underway! We know that many of you have already voted and that's fantastic.

It's time to push that vote just a little bit more. Winning either of the categories will help to raise our profile. For you, that means more interested users, more interested developers and thus, even more, features and modules for your favourite CMS moving forward. Plus of course, the additional help in sales being able to tell potential clients we are a CMS Critic Winner.

So, we're asking you to help by requesting your happy customers vote for CMS Made Simple too. If you have customers using CMSMS on a regular basis, then it's just as good for them if we win as it is for you and us. To make your lives easier, we've popped together a short email you can customise to send to your customers. It follows below. As always, we, your Dev team would like to thank you for the continued support and community spirit that you show. An open source project lives or dies by its community, and we think you are the best!

Here's that email. Please customise it as you need.

Dear [Customer],

As you might know, CMS Made Simple, the software that enables you to do all the things you do on your website, has been nominated in the CMS critic awards. I wanted to ask your help. Would you take a moment to follow the link below and vote for CMS Made Simple? You can vote in both the 'Best Free CMS' and 'Best Open Source CMS'.

Winning an award isn't just good for the software, it's good for you! A win attracts more publicity, which in turn attracts more developers and users. That means more people working on and using the software, and that means more improvements and features in new releases. Improvements and features that you'll be able to benefit from in future upgrades.

Thank you in advance,

Your CMS made Simple development team
