#32You 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.
There is a price for it right at the top. Granted, the page took ages to load (could just be the HN load 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.
Granted it's a massive png, should be a jpg with 50-80% quality, especially given it's already blurred.

2) Do you ship internationally? You should answer this in the FAQ.
3) Show me an example of the finished product.

#39A lot of people are complaining about the speed of the site.
They'd be complaining less if they could read the texts before the images were loaded.
A simple way to do this, is to give the areas containing background-images a background-color that's close to the color of the image. This way, if there's text on top (white text for example) it'll be readable BEFORE the image loads.
They'll notice the wait time less.

#40Hey, great work. We're adding panoramas at http://cheergram.com very soon. I like the niche printing business and I think there's definitely demand. 3 Things: My biggest issue with the site is that you don't show the final product anywhere. It should really be the hero of your home page (where that little dude with the chalkboard is). Even if you don't have one printed yet, make a fake print+frame in Photoshop (not h…
Congrats, and I'll add one nitty comment. I think the main email address should be "help@" or "support@". I get that you are trying to be whimsical with the "hi@", but I think you should stick to using your site design as your branding tool and keep the email address standard -- it just threw me a little.
