Show HN: I built this CRM Tool for Windows. Thoughts?

I clicked on Buy and was greeted by a screen with DANGEROUSAPPS all over it. I suppose most users have reflexes to hit the back button now when they see a warning like that.

This functionality is coming. It basically works with SQL Server and Oracle, but I need to do more validation before releasing.

Here's my laundry list of feedback:

- The lead text is too chummy. Make it concise and professional.

- When facing a blank page, one copywriting technique I've come up with is to make a list of all your features, and then next to each write the benefit. Now flip each around and write a sentence matching the "get benefit x from feature x." Group and edit from there.

- "Who said that the desktop was dead?" is too defensive when the desktop should be one of your selling points. You may not read about it on HN, but many people prefer desktop software over web based and mobile tools. And many prefer one-time purchases to ongoing subscriptions.

- There is very little text for search engines to crawl. At the very least, add a blog and start writing about CRM and related topics.

- You need an About page. People want to know who they are buying from.

- You should have a privacy policy as well.

- Cannot order more than 1 license at a time. E-junkie is a good interim solution for selling via PayPal.

- Why is there a link to Mixpanel in the footer? I'd remove it.

- The video is full screen and blurry at my monitor's resolution. Also, if you're creating a screencast without sound, you need to use text bubbles so viewers can follow along.

- Why does the Support link go to another site? A simple contact form would be better than taking visitors off site.

- Chrome gives a security warning for the download. You should get a real digital certificate as opposed to self signing. K Software (http://codesigning.ksoftware.net/) sells code signing certs for a relatively low cost.

- The installation has no instructions. Unzipping and running the setup file may seem obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people would get tripped up by this. Technically challenged people have money, and they do buy software.

- The download isn't very fast. It looks like you're deploying the entire DevExpress library. Do you need to deploy all those components?

wavesounds made a really good point, your product looks exactly like Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0. I don’t know who your customers are and what are their needs but I think the first question I would ask myself is why your customer would choose you and not MS CRM or any other CRM if both offer the same functionality.

If a user ends up using this product heavily and then decides that they need to migrate to a different product, how easily can they export their information and in what format? As a user, I'm very hesitant to put all of my information in an application if I don't know that I can easily get it back out.
