(I like this a lot, but) you describe your "technology" as both revolutionary and proprietary, and operating "automagically."

While I'm sure there's something neat going on under the hood, legitimate users probably don't care about the technological marvels you're pulling off and just that it does what it says on the tin.

A lot of the current copy is self-congratulatory. The technology likely isn't starting revolutions, so describing it as such is puffery.

Just because you can use incredibly large text (with an incredibly large header that covers the text even on a 1080p monitor!) and scroll-detect animations doesn't mean you should. Regardless, from a business perspective, this seems like a very good way to annoy your customers instead of engaging them.

I agree, the idea isn't bad but the Powerpoint style js animation effects are really distracting to the text and purpose. Get rid of those, and the huge text, and you'll do yourself a favour.

Ya I agree.. Will split test the animations. Seems like a lot of the feedback so far is related to this.

Thought about doing something like this before, but I'd rather not give our competitors a public list of all our customers.

My thoughts are, your competitors can already scrape your Twitter followers. It's a legitimate concern, but you also can't live in fear of your competitors.
