I really like the bottom toolbar as a design element. It drives home the point that this is a full-featured web application. I also like that you have a narrated video. Suggestions: -Decrease(or remove) the outer blur/glow on the Rela Logo. It's very distracting in my peripheral vision when trying to read the rest page. -Instead of having each box title be "Rela...", make them more descriptive so that a band manager/artist would want to read.For example, instead of "Relay" put "Track Merchandise", instead of 'Relate" put "Manage Tours", instead of "Rely" put "Track Soundscans". -Get rid of "Relational",and "Relax". -The video is very complicated to me. Maybe have 1 overview video where you gloss over most of the features and focus only on the critical ones... maybe using a fictional band as an example? Then have your more detailed video as a tutorial. -Consider a beta test group(with non-techie musicians/managers) to help refine the software workflow. Overall, I think the front-page has information overload and over-relies on the "Rela..." concept. You obviously know the market(serious musicians). If you can make the landing page less cluttered and streamline the software workflow a little, you have a good chance of having a winner.

I added the glow to kind of simulate stage lights or whatever... something bands can relate to. I may end up removing it or decreasing it as you've suggested. Thanks! :) As for the "REL-etc." stuff... in the first review, a couple of people asked what "RELA" stands for... (I had nothing explaining it)... and I actually came up with the name from all of those words so that's why I included them. I feel they each explain all of the different aspects of the app pretty well. Does that make sense or do you think I should still change it? Maybe have 1 overview video where you gloss over most of the features and focus only on the critical ones Those play buttons run through all of the critical features... did you click one of those? And as for the information overload, the app does a ton of stuff. How can I properly explain what all it does concisely? I feel like I'd be leaving out a ton of important features (that would reel in most people) in a super-concise description.
