Congrats on launching! Really like the design and prominent example. One question: what's the advantage of this over Gumroad/Ribbon.co? Lower fees? Also, you mentioned that this is targeted at a non-technical market. I'd definitely think about revisiting the homepage copy/selling points. To me it still feels targeted toward a developer audience. Perhaps a couple of use cases would be helpful to show off the types of businesses that would find Forge useful? (http://goodsie.com http://goodsie.com and http://shopify.com http://shopify.com come to mind as decent examples of this). Good luck!

Thanks so much! As for the competitors in the space, we have some things in the pipeline that will differentiate us quite a bit. We needed to at least catch up, and we wanted to launch as soon as possible. Now that you point out the homepage, I agree completely. That will be the first thing we fix up first. Thanks for pointing these out. Adding examples is a great idea. I think we'll end up showcasing businesses built on top of Forge. Thanks again!
