A few thoughts: (1) You might want to stick to a more traditional landing page to help increase your conversion. The way your page is designed right now doesn't scream out to me to sign up or anything. There's a reason many landing pages look the same, and it's because they work, so people keep using the same conventions. If you're trying to break conventions, then you need to have a very good reason why you're doing…

Do you suggest any good, succinct resources on best practices in landing page design?

Succinct? No. But check out Unbounce, Conversion XL and their collaboration, PageFights.

The page is HTTP. I try to avoid submitting any personally identifying information over the Internet in plaintext. (Maybe the form submit is HTTPS, but I'm not typically going to bother to check a thing like that. Sites that I want to visit respect my privacy by defaulting to HTTPS.)

I doubt that's really something most people are going to consider

I didn't say that other people do, just that I do :-)
