1) I'm in the UK and can't view the video. 2) Do you ship internationally? You should answer this in the FAQ. 3) Show me an example of the finished product.
The 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 pot…
And, it looks like you Really Like Chuck Close.
Good 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
Looks 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 :)
Nice looking site overall. As others have mentioned - image optimization will help you a lot. Taking a look at firebug Net profiling, the homepage footprint weighs in at 2MB. 500K is your "studio" image, followed by the bridge bg photo at 370K. So just optimizing these 2 images will reduce your bandwidth by around 660K or 33%. I'm guessing you can do both in 210K (150K bridge, 60K studio = 210K) possibly better. EDIT…
That's a long way from St. Louis, and a long way from your basement.

Hey, 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…
Hey, one advise for you at Cheergram. It would be great to be able to pick pictures from other users than myself. I want to make a print with both my photos and my girlfriend's mixed together but couldn't.
We have that feature ready to go but I'm trying to clear some legal/copyright questions first. For most people who want to just combine their images with friends/family, it's fine. But there are people on Instagram who wouldn't want me making money from their images being hung on other people's walls.
Your site makes it look like you keep your Epson printer[1] at Magnolia Editions' studio[2,3] in Oakland, CA. That's a long way from St. Louis, and a long way from your basement. 1.
