I was wondering what "splash page" means in this context.. I thought this app generates splash screens which are displayed when a mobile app starts up (not a good thing anyway). I would rather call it "presentation page" or "virtual flyer".

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It only seems to work in Chrome.

Yeah, Apparently, when you try to submit a form that was not added to the body, FF and IE will just silently fail, while Chrome deals with it like a champ. That's what you get with last-minute optimizations :/ We're in the process of deploying a fix.

.... and fixed :)

"Landing page" or "companion web page" would be even better, IMHO.

The background image is TOO distracting. It's way too saturated and colorful and just clashes and takes away from the screenshot and call to action button. That's the biggest problem with using big background images.

Also, you also have severe alignment problems. See http://www.chrisnorstrom.com/2011/05/quick-fix-up-redesign-o... The width of the header, the body, and the footer are all different.
