#22Great start here, I like what you've done. Some feedback for improvement: 1) I would break the page up into multiple pages. Keep the homepage simple and let the user click ancillary links if they need to. 2) It says the printing is done in the founders basement, but shows a picture of a printing warehouse. Is your basement a printing warehouse? Honestly not sure here. 3) The textures are distracting, I'd tone them do…
Thanks for the feedback!

#23Why would you not make this video viewable outside of US?
tsk tsk...

#24Good product. Has potential in the right markets. This is something I've touched before, and it makes a fair amount of money. Which market are you aiming for? Also, publish an API for this. You can get a lot of business with a photo printing API. Don't ask how I know... ;)
Thanks! I'm going for the mass consumer market. I think this product will definitely be aimed best at the young professional who wants to decorate a living space and who is somewhat tech-savvy. What markets did you have success with out of curiosity?
Also I have no clue how to do an api lol

#25Looks great! One thing I did notice is the background image ( http://www.pantastic.co/ggb.png ) loads really slow for me and the design feels a little broken without it. Overall love the look though :)
I will second that. when the drop shadow font loaded on top of white I thought to myself, "the HN design geeks are going to slay this."
I am sure it didn't help that we were all hammering the site.

Very true. It's not really a fair time to judge performance. It would probably be a good idea to set a dark background colour in that area while the image is loading.

#27The photo of the "studio" at the bottom looks like a large industrial space, not the "founder's basement". If that's not really a picture of this company, it's a bit misleading to have it on the web site.
Also, a single-person operation isn't usually called a "team". And while it's impressive that a college student can run a successful business, it's possible that emphasizing this on the web site might scare away potential customers who are businesses with deadlines to meet. Why limit your market unnecessarily?

#28Looks great! A little issue with the menu hovering over other text when zoomed @ around 200%. Nicely done though.
Re: Show HN: Pantastic
#29Awesome idea! Maybe have a section on your site to show some of your printed canvas?

#30You are selling. Pricing should be the biggest thing someone wants to look at. I had to revisit the page to find it at the very bottom in FAQ. For a second I thought I had to register my name, email and photo to get the pricing. Definitely something you don't want a user to think.
All in all, like the images and like the fact that you show how it all really works down to the printer and toner.
