I really like the landing page, but I feel I have to point out one obvious thing: Your sign-up page[0] not only resembles the one of Basecamp[1], but you chose to actually copy (not like copy from it, but _copy_) the graphics from it? And the graphics features a dude wearing a Basecamp sweater? I can see why you want to find design inspiration in Basecamp, but for me that stuff is just too close to the original ;) As I said. Just a friendly pointer. You might want to change that. Other than that I wish you the best of luck, and this looks like a great start and an interesting idea!

Thanks, I actually copied the image to see what it'd look like in place and forgot to take it out. I'll address that first thing! Again. Thanks so much for that!

  Did you pay for the other illustrations on your home page? They look a bit disparate, and some turn up elsewhere in an image search: https://dribbble.com/shots/1553377-Changing-Homes?list=users&offset=7 https://dribbble.com/shots/1553377-Changing-Homes?list=users... http://dabbled.org/this-robot-has-expired/ http://dabbled.org/this-robot-has-expired/ http://www.creativebloq.com/illustration/illustrations-strips-bicycles-back-basics-10135085 http://www.creativebloq.com/illustration/illustrations-strip... If not perhaps consider paying one of the illustrators (Daniel González stuff looks excellent) to make you a set of illustrations which are all in the same style - your pages would look a lot more coherent if they didn't have a grab-bag of styles going on, and also you could have a lot of liability if you don't have permission for every image on your site. It's not really on to just copy images from the web without attribution or payment - you could be sued for a lot of money for that basecamp image for example which is still up. Otherwise, it's a nice site and great idea though.

    I suspect he's just grabbed this template: https://wrapbootstrap.com/theme/triangle-multi-purpose-template-WB0D53BSK https://wrapbootstrap.com/theme/triangle-multi-purpose-templ... but yes, you make an excellent point. Equally I agree with his approach of using a $9 template before validating w customers and working out the business model...not sure what the theme site says about the images licence wise but it's not necessarily a bad abstraction to assume that images included with a template are licenced with it if they aren't watermarked etc.

      Seems really unlikely that template has licensed all those images either given it's from a template farm that looks like they churn these things out and the many sources.

        According to this, they're all Creative Commons-licensed: https://wrapbootstrap.com/theme/triangle-multi-purpose-template-WB0D53BSK/comments https://wrapbootstrap.com/theme/triangle-multi-purpose-templ... I don't really know if I believe that, but there we are.

        Note that he/she doesn't say which Creative Commons license. It could be a non-commercial license. Besides, I don't see any attributions to the artists for these images (which is required for all the various Creative Commons licenses). I highly doubt this theme is legitimate. OP, be wary of using this theme.

      In light of the fact that the template you've linked looks exactly like recallbee.com, the author's comment "Thanks, I actually copied the image to see what it'd look like in place and forgot to take it out" seems disingenuous.
