I can't figure out what this product does. What does "save" a site mean? What does it mean to "contact" a site? The site's frontpage seems to be designed to sell half of the designer's brain to the other half of the designer's own brain. It might not actually take much iteration to turn this into a product that would sell. We just need to know what the hell it does.

I can't figure out what this product does Heh, yes, this is definitely a problem. In this context "Save" means to record the website's address, along with the initial referrer. You can also record email addresses along with it. "Contact" is the act of reaching out to the website's operator to discuss - well, guest blog posts, exchanging links, compliment on their design or whatever is on your mind. It might not actually take much iteration to turn this into a product that would sell I'm definitely open to suggestions! :)

  I'm sorry but what does that even mean and why should I care? I can record a website's address easily: it is called a bookmark.

After visiting the site on 2 separate occasions, I also still can't tell what the site does and how it can help me right now. Usually, if I don't find that the first 3-5 seconds upon visiting a site, I'm outta there.. so my suggestions are: 1. bigger headline (UVP) 2. small subtitle clearly explaining the main benefit 3. picture on the right needs to better define your product (add "marker notes" on the picture if necessary) hope it helps!

  also, none of the titles for the 4 benefits on the homepage mean anything to me. they have to tell me specific things your product does to help me right now. good luck and i'd say don't give up yet. tweaking marketing and a/b testing are relatively inexpensive (and imo a lot of fun) and who knows, you might stumble on a winner!
