Congrats on the pretty design. As a student of UX, I would be fascinated if you could summarize in a short braindump the UX design principles and thought processes that went into making this. You already mentioned how you think about the CTA in another comment, how about all the rest of it?

Thanks! Good suggestion. The original design framework (color scheme, font's etc) is made by someone else. That design was absolutely beautiful, but not from a conversion point of view. There were no clear CTA buttons, etc. The past couple of weeks I've been reading a lot of great articles online, viewed a couple of inspiring TED talks and other video's, and I used that information to build the landing page. Tomorrow…

I'd like to read that. What is your blog URL?

My blog is a little bit rusty (non-existing). Tomorrow I'll put a simple blog online :) http://jorgenhorstink.nl/

hint: try to resize your screen

Thanks! Dunno how I could have missed that one :)

body { min-width: 980px; } seems to fix the problem

(Temporary hack while you add in @media queries, I assume)

I can read it and it does appeal to me. The flow and explanation is really good. I’d like some more screen shots but then the lack of them might make people more likely to sign up and see for themselves. Bookmarking for later.

By the way, I dig the anchor name of the pricing section.

And you're living in Utrecht as well I see :) If you want to grab a coffee the other day, drop me an e-mail. My username at gmail...

I can read this too, Google translates it well.

I spend a few days in Utrecht, it was lovely, welcoming, and really relaxing. We went kayaking through the canals, one of the best experiences of my life. I'm hoping to make it back sometime soon.
