To be brutally honest: color scheme + horizontal scrolling + too much text + general design = I ran off before learning too much about what Juwo does.

Please redesign!

Also try to condense what Juwo is trying to do into a short paragraph. So far, all I can gather by a quick 10 sec browse is that it has something to do with recording/playing back audio, table of contents for audio etc. Leave the demos, instructions, examples for other pages. Give me the story in nice big font and tell it to me like "I'm a 4 yr old." Hope that helps :)

I'll try to look around a bit more once I'm out of work.

I agree with veritas. Try to tell us in a few sentences what juwo is all about.

One big issue is that the demo I downloaded had some audio pre installed with it. Just a thought, but using audio from a speech given by a man with cerebral palsey is not the best choice for a demo. It was very unclear and hard to see what it was that your software was accomplishing.

Thanks for being the first public to drive it!. Try the BBC demo. it is video - or pretty American Idol Katharine McPhee.

"Juwo LLC was founded by Anil Philip in December 2004, and is based in Olathe, Kansas.

We are"

... 'we' ?

Also, the religious stuff probably belongs elsewhere, on your own home page, for instance.

I read that people dont want to click, but scrolling is ok - I thought that was the lecture at startup school? (I saw a breief note on it here on this site)

the condensation is at the diagrams on the right.

I am embarrassed to admit it's just me. It seems like "No single-founders allowed".

So the 'we' is wife (advisor)...

(Actually, I had an informal advisory group which I dissolved. The 'we' comes from there. As you fellow entrepreneurs will learn, advice is of little use - you want someone to help with the work to be done).

perhaps I should rearrange the demos. Is the BBC the most impressive? or American Idol?
