You know what else what be a cool service for them to offer? Feedback from experts. Obviously it'd be more expensive, but if you could submit the site to be reviewed by a panel of UI experts, software engineers, etc., I think that'd be a pretty worthwhile service as well, especially for startups.

For the slightly-more-expert take, you might like a site like this (seems like 99 designs but for usability reviews): http://usabilitytest.com/ http://usabilitytest.com/ Also I saw this service advertised before: http://www.usabilityfeedback.com/ http://www.usabilityfeedback.com/ I've never used either of those, but I have used Feedback Army and can recommend it as a way to get sanity checks with multiple people. Sometimes it's hard to tell if a certain stock photo is "creepy" unless you launch or use a service like FA, so it ends up being well worth such a low fee (for us anyway).

  This may come off as corny but - who is more expert than real internet users? - I suggest that by being an "expert" (whatever that means) you would have too much 'domain knowledge' to know what would work best from the average internet user. - sounds like the biased sample fallacy http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/biased-sample.html http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/biased-sample.html - I think best idea would be for a/b split testing perhaps using the 'army' to configure your different tests..

    What I meant by "experts" is people who could look at your site and give it a quick lookover according to their specialty. Web software engineers might look at a site and see code that doesn't validate, or AJAX that could be optimized a bit; UI designers might suggest that you reorder some of the buttons on your page for better ease of use, etc.
