Apparently if you ask for questions, what you get is critiques. I'll keep up the pattern. :)
This phrase struck me as out of sync with the style: "we have focused on creating compelling templates that drive influence." It's jargon-y, and the jargon is slightly creepy, at least the way all advertising talk is slightly creepy when it gets too specific about what it's trying to do. It's less about people [who] matter to me, and more about people who matter because they can be manipulated into doing something I want. I would suggest you think about how the phrase "drive influence" makes you feel, and then take out anything else in your site that makes you feel the same way. (Or go for whatever crowd you're going for that isn't me.)
Aside from that, I agree with another commenter that if your template design is what makes you special, I'd like to see some example emails before signing up. The world is too full of web startups to create an account for every one that claims to be better than MailChimp.
Anyway, thanks for your work -- looks like an awesome start.
- chadyj 14y agoThanks for the thoughtful comment. I originally wrote "results" in place of "influence" but that sounded overused. I do believe that emails with better content, better design, and better accessibility will drive more visibility (and opens/clicks/etc), and that is what I was aiming for with influence. If you want your email to be seen and read then a focus on content and design will go a long way. I'll rethink how to express that better. Also yes, totally agree on showing more templates. When the public beta opens there will be a handful for customers to play with, and we do intend to do something that stands out, and especially hoping that the community gets involved too.
