Interesting idea. Simple, but useful in a fun sort of way. Could it be a successful business? I guess we'll find out.

Web site looks very nice. I don't like the bright body text though, I had to darken it with firebug so I could read it comfortably. Despite the current fashion, I can't imagine why text on a white background would ever be brighter than #444 much less #999.

Great feedback on the text color. I will make adjustments to it right away. How about the font size? Is it comfortable for reading?

I really like the idea, simple and straight to the point.

What I am not that sure about is your pricing structure. I am not sure if it works as this kind of a stand-alone service. Maybe you could get existing Facebook oriented marketing service to offer it as an up-sell? Maybe some form of personal touch about you/team, or at least a "real" address in the contact section could give it more credibility.

Also I am curious: How did you get these testimonial brands?

Hi. thanks for the feedback, i will look into putting our team information onto the site. Those brands are our clients for our analytics platform.

I like the idea! It's unique and honestly it's the first time I stumble upon something like that. As for the design it's simple, clear and straight to the point. Plus, I like that you included some of your client's logo. I got a question though, what do you mean by Scheduling "Real Time" Cover Photos? It's the Real Time that means nothing to me/confuses me.

Good: - Simple idea - Latest blog topics - Use of social - Site content

Not so good: - Pricing. Why is it tied to fans? This seems totally arbitrary.

Possible easy fixes: - Font contrast (as previously mentioned) - Link to clients' facebook pages instead of their website. This way visitor can see how your service is being used and also legitimizes your client claims. - Examples/case studies of how your service is being used for success.
