Your site is too crowded. Give me one thing to look at on your main page. Right now, you have 'webnotes pro', 'sign up now', the play button, and your 'faster/more effective' drawing my attention, in that order. Read this:

Remove the red from wnp. You want the first noticeable thing to be the first step, and the first step should probably be 'find out what this does' - so make the 'faster and more effective web research' text stand out more. You have way too many tabs - give me little next and prev buttons to scroll features. I like playing with those, I hate tabs - I get the impression that I'll have to load a new page, so I avoid them. Preload the images on the other tabs. Your support tab/button doesn't actually link to support, it links to info. Your video seems to focus on many individual features, rather than on the problem that you're solving for me. Why do I want to save these notes? Why do I want to compile a report? (Clicking the blackness outside the modal video should return me to the page - I don't want to click that little black x)

Summary: very crowded main page, lacks obvious next-steps at all stages of interaction, presents individual features rather than a solution to my problems. Looks pretty good otherwise.




We are looking into making the next step more obvious, and we do agree that the homepage has a lot on it. Thanks for the feedback.


The demo is what sold me. Making that button more prominent would be a good start. I clicked it before I read anything else.
