Sentence on your Go PRO! page:

"Check out the PRO version, we are sure that you'll love it."

The fact that you don't contract "we are" and then later in the clause contract you will to "you'll" sounds weird.

Also, you may just want to rewrite that whole bit. It comes out like a ShamWoW ad or something..

One of those products which is super simple yet solves a deeper pain point for job seekers. Have used it & can recco it too.

I don't understand. Is resume formatting that big of a deal for job seekers? I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that formatting a resume was trivial, but that managing your job search effectively was hard.

I had to scroll to the bottom of the page to find the small link to preview the templates. Before I sign up for something, I would want a better idea of what it was I was signing up for.

You may want to make the Preview Templates link a little more prominent.

It's actually surprisingly difficult to do if your skills in design aren't that crash hot. That's why templates in Word are so popular around this area.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is the formatting of the document really that important. I would have thought the employer would be focussing on your qualifications/experience rather than your design skills in MS Word.

Actually I couldn't even find the link even after reading your post. I'm on an iPhone and that might have something to do with it, but still needs to be more visible.
