My suggestion as a UI/UX guy: Refine the call-to-action buttons by assigning them a different color. Black is not really an attention seeker. I would suggest something like a bright Green or pale Blue for the buttons (for the Sign up buttons on the top and the bottom). Hopefully this will improve your conversion rate. Just these, otherwise excellent. Keep it up guys!

I recall that red was the color most likely to get attention, and thus recommended for calls to action. Any reason not to use red ?

It depends on a lot of variables. Best to A/B test which color works best with this specific design/audiance.

Red is associated with "error" state.

Yeah, it depends on the scenario, green is like a very peaceful-ish color, red is like something to relate with urgency (In a negative way). Red in real life means danger, stop, error..etc.

I wanted to recommend red too initially, but I think for his use case blue or green would go well because of the background image (and also for the reasons above).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

yea, we will be soon. I think the last thing I had up here had the opposite reaction (wanting oauth rather than yet another login) :)

I'm confused as to why I would need to register at all? A public facing demo would be really nice, even if it limited the features so you could still charge for the full product.

Agreed, public facing demo, with register to download CSS/html could work.

That said, it was really low pain to get started just now. It makes me so happy to not have to go click a link in my email!

I like. I hit some bugs when adding/working with tables, but I guess this is beta. I am looking forward to really trying to use it in the not so distant future.

It would be great if you could not only let me select the starting template but if you could let me choose from a dozen skins - say from Bootswatch, or similar features like lavishbootstrap.com, and the 'dice' feature at boottheme.com).

This guy does a nice job explaining how sometimes it's not so much the color, but how you use it. "What stands out gets clicked, what blends in gets ignored."

Thanks! That's definitely something we've thought of, and could very well find its way in at some point in the future. We'll be gathering a ton of feedback as we continue forward developing the tool.

Thanks! We'll look into tweaking that.

I tried this out earlier, just before you sent the beta email out. A few thoughts: 1. Keyboard shortcuts! I really wanted to deselect items by hitting escape but it didn't work. I kept trying anyway because I'm so used to Balsamiq :) I'd also love to be able to hit / to quick-search the list of elements I can add, then return to add the selected item. Again, Balsamiq really nails this. 2. I wanted to add a div with B…

Quick update: just added escape. Thanks for the feedback!
