One of the things that I've noticed is that you have too much text on your home page. The fact that I had to scroll down isn't a good thing. You have to make a sale FAST to an internet user. Trust me they have extremely short attention spans. How about this? Are you a designer forced to dance to FBs tune? Use aplanofattack to deploy hassle free and concentrate on what matters the most; beautiful, seamless design. Wanna learn more? Check it out. I would chip away those lines again and again until it sounds like the voice in their head is saying it to them. Also, have you thought of making it an intermediate thing? As you've replied in the comments something like this already exists for non-technical users, and you want to target developers, but why don't you target them both? It's a matter of UI design. You can just about recess the less commonly used, and more complex functions out of sight, or make different views like WP has a visual compose mode and a HTML mode that works pretty well. Also, it would be awesome for a developer short on time to jump into modes for that good enough mockup.

Are you a designer forced to dance to FBs tune? Use aplanofattack to deploy hassle free and concentrate on what matters the most; beautiful, seamless design. I like that! Thanks for your input. I definitely hear you on the "show don't tell" aspect. Ideally I'd have a catchy line like the one you made and then a slideshow of beautifully designed Facebook pages with a link to the actual live FB instance. My goal here is to validate the core concept, hopefully gain some useful contacts/help and of course get some beta users. As for the intermediate thing, definitely. If I can grab a couple of interested users, it would not be too difficult to build upon the functionality. My concern as of now is just to laser focus on my own unique angle. Pagemodo is really not something I'd want to emulate personally, but having easy wysiwyg templates is definitely useful. I appreciate your feedback. Do you mind if I try to implement your phrasing?

  >>>I like that! Thanks for your input. I definitely hear you on the "show don't tell" aspect.

It takes too long to load on a slower internet connection and people tend to lose interest by that time. Instead photoshop something like coverflow with 3 beautiful pages. I am not telling you to rip off coverflow. Don't do that. Your customers are very sensitive to such things Make a draft layout on paper and play with it. Cut out pieces of paper and move it around on your desk. >>>My goal here is to validate the core concept, hopefully gain some useful contacts/help and of course get some beta users.<<< I can understand that, but they are humans too and humans tend to get bored if they aren't engaged within those first 20-30 seconds. I am not asking you to make a fluff piece. No, I am asking you to make a hook to pull users in. >>>As for the intermediate thing, definitely.

I wish I could advise you more, but I haven't done any serious software development. So, I have no clue what challenges it brings on this side. >>>I appreciate your feedback.
