What a cool product! I love it!
I'm curious, did you build/design this yourself and what did you build it on?

#441) Since October 2009.
2) I haven't applied to YC. I participated in the inaugural San Diego Founder Institute session which finished a few weeks ago.
3) I'm not raising money yet. I'm still working a (percentage of a) full time software engineering job. I think I can get pretty far in terms of traction without funding.
4) I'm still in private beta and not ready to share just yet.

Design, yes and no. Used an existing template as a base and heavily customized it. Built it, yes (completely by myself).
Uses FlourishLib (http://flourishlib.com/) as programming framework, jQuery for front-end magic and iconfinder.net for the cute icons all around.
BTW, This particular app has been in development for last 5 months. Since Jan 2009, I was prototyping few different things (see http://www.wingify.com/labs.php) and finally built Visual Website Optimizer.
