My friend is working on her MFA in painting and I assure you this product is necessary. I had to build her site and had many requests for her friends. As this product is for the non-techie, make it simple: no sign-up to use. Let them jump right in. You're already offering a month free. Your "Build Your Site Now" button is deceiving. It takes you to a looooong form. Let them get started immediately. After a few steps of building, request an email to save their work. Once you have an email, you can request more info later. Good luck. Looks great.

Hi, thanks, much appreciated. Funnily enough, we've just been working with a lot of students based in the UK on building free websites for their end of year shows - we found we got a lot of great feedback from them as a consequence. The sign up form is something that we should definitely look at if it looks daunting or too long, and the wording for the buttons, so thanks for your comments there! Any suggestions as to what you think would make a good call to action in this instance? Emma

  The "Build Your Site Now" is perfect IMO if one can in fact build immediately. I want to say that it looks like a really good product and the price point is reasonable/competitive. For a stronger call to action, I'd remove the ARTNews box and the start building box next to it. The navbar is very busy too for a landing page. Maybe on the Build Now button drop the no-credit card required and 30-day free trial - So maybe it's not perfect :) - No reason to make them think about money if they're getting the free month. Hit em up with when they save their first build. Put the price and free month info in the Why Choose Gallereo box.
