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?

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.<<< Don't do a slideshow either. 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.

I'll be honored if you do so. :) If you think that I can help you in anyway at all then don't hesitate to contact me at yesthisisananonymousid at googlemail P.S.- Do I get a free account? :p
