The page looks nice and you have a clear flow and call to action...but the copy could use tightening up all around. For example, the subhead:

> New, exciting way of doing online courses

Sounds like it's missing an article: "A new, exciting way of doing online courses"

And is "doing" the right word? Maybe the verb should be: "taking" or change the sentence structure from "of doing" to "to take"

There's a lot of little grammar and style things that should be polished...IMO it's a big factor in an online education's first impression

Thanks a lot. We are based out of India and most of us can speak english but have terrible grammar. But I will get it corrected.

Apart from the name (is it pronounced "Lurnk"?) I think its a good job. You explain what it is you do in the header and then request an email address - can't ask for more in a premarketing site. Good job dude.

Thanks, Its pronounced - 'Learn'-'cue'.

Ah I see.

Though I understand why you've spelt it that way (I'm guessing its for the .com domain name?), it might be a bit of an oversight to have a education company misspelling the word 'learn'...

Yep. Maybe thats the thing we will be known for :P Do u think LearnQ sounds better? Thats available but a bit pricey, can do it if we get some funding I guess.

Yep, much better.

Maybe pick up a .io for cheaper? Or change the name altogether?
