Hey everyone,

I'm going to pitch my startup http://shopulse.com soon at a local incubator's demo day. I just wanted some feedback on my landing page and the text more specifically. Thanks.

Looks fine. Has very little information.

Since you just asked "how does my landing page look": it looks like a landing page.

I'd like it to have more information about what it is you're trying to accomplish, and how, on the page...

I had no incentive to join the wait list - as I am likely not your target - but you should push people over the edge with more info.

The first thing that popped into my mind is how is this different to shopify? What's your point of difference?

Thanks for your feedback! I've adjusted the text a bit.

It looks nice. I'm not sure how much customization LaunchRock gives you with text width, etc., but it seems a bit wordy, without actually telling me too much.

I read the initial headers in the black boxes, and become curious - how does it let me sell without doing anything. So many a quick 1, 2, 3, numbered steps instead of paragraph text would work better? Hope this helps.

Thanks! It does help for sure!
