I dig the layout. A few minor suggestions:

Main page:

1) The Twitter and Facebook buttons seem oddly placed. Maybe center them above "Need help?"

2) Try putting a transparent gradient over your screenshots. It'll make them look slick and less visually distracting.

3) The "From our blog" boxes look a little non-descript. Consider making it a list of "Date / Title", and to the right of them adding 1-3 testimonials.

Pricing page:

1) There's a 30 day free trial (make "Day" lowercase, imo), and below that, a $0/mo plan. Are they the same thing or different? It isn't clear.

2) "Pay as you go features" This also strikes me as unclear, since I associate "Pay as you go" as being a metered service. If it's really just $50 per event, you could come up with a better way to convey that. Consider putting a blue box around those features with a header saying $50/event, and then adding 10-20 pixels of space between the "Conqueror" and "Empire" plans.

Best of luck!

1. I think you are shooting yourself in the foot with your pricing, why don't you create a middle plan and limit usage by number of events per week?

2. The conquerer/empire thing I just don't get, its confusing why not try something like Promoter / Enterprise? Selling subscriptions is hard enough, I always try to be as simple as possible on my pricing page.

The UI is pretty obviously Twitter Bootstrap. While not necessarily a bad thing, it gives off the appearance of being vaporware.

Agreed with everyone else, I'm not sure what research you did on the pricing, but this is way off from what a typical club/promoter can afford.

$49/month is as high as I'd go for a base plan, and scale accordingly for "enterprise"

Correct, UI is based on Bootstrap. I understand the vaporware comment, but our clients are not developers or designers so a large amount of them do not even know what twitter bootstrap, they just want something that is simple and easy to use. I we were making a metrics dashboard for startups I would agree completely.

In terms of pricing so far it has been well recieved. We do need to work on how to transmit that promoters can use a free account and upgrade to premium features if they will in fact manage the event (controlling door, managing sub promoters, reservations etc.) then $50 does not seem to bother them because they are saving tons of time and effort on their event.

$400 a month is for anyone going over 8 managed event. usually better established promotion company or venue. The feedback has been positive here as well.

We did not just go out and build. We worked hand in hand with different nightlife companies in the US & Europe.

Hope that helps explain a bit more. But there is more work and validation to be done.

As someone who's owned a night club before, I probably wouldn't pay $400/mo for this. That said, it is really hard to get an idea of what this product is all about from the website. Maybe it has that kind of value, I just can't tell.

Thanks for the feedback.

We are working on an explainer video that would help transmit the value of the product and also som videos to replace the images in the feature section.

It noticed it is hard to understand the true value from the current website. And we hope to fixe that over the next couple of days.

Thanks.
