I would have prefer to see an example or a demo before having to signup.

Hey daok, there is a sample design as soon as you sign up for the free account! And you can upload two more before opting to upgrade!

His point is that you need to better explain your product BEFORE you ask someone to signup. I want to know that this is something I might actually use before I go handing out my email address.

Ah! Sorry about that! Let me add an example to the front page!

Cool product.

However, I really had no idea what this product did from the landing page. Had to create an account, and wait for a psd to process. Then I had to click around before actually understanding what was going on. Most people aren't going to get that far before they leave and you don't want to lose that audience.

The line "if you're a web developer you no longer need photoshop" was confusing. Because I read this as "another web-based photoshop alternative". And for some reason I couldn't figure out what you meant by Photoshop styles (maybe just me).

I think I'd personally describe your product as 1. Upload a PSD, 2. Download the CSS, thats it. Maybe a landing page more like: http://jade-lang.com/

Hope that helps.

Hey nspeller, thanks very much for the feedback! Added a scrappy version to the page. Must be there in a couple of minutes or so!

I agree, I would rather not have to commit to the product by signing up before knowing exactly what it does
