It looks nice, though the design is so smooth and monochromatic I wonder if people would find it more appealing if there were some generic housing photos as illustrations. I'd also suggest using screenshots to give people a better idea what to expect. It may be worth thinking about a more slimmed-down sign-up process that lowers the barrier of opening a test account and enables people to play with the app right away. It's clear a lot of effort has gone into this, keep it up!

Thanks so much. We are planning on a video shortly that will be right at the top of the home page (where the sunrise graphic is). I agree with you that we need screenshots... we'll have to figure out a way to integrate that.

I appreciate your feedback. :-)

The design looks nice at first glance - but when I tried to figure out what you actually do, how you deliver on your promise, I was just confused. You're very features-first. Would love it if you started your copy and iconography with benefits and then talked about the features that support them.

Not that it matters, but you're replying to the wrong guy.

Thanks for your feedback. The home page has a brief overview of the benefits and calls you to click through to the features page to "Find out more". Did you see this copy on the home page, or did you go immediately to the Features page? I'd love to understand this more as I think you're right - that this is an area we can improve - I'm just trying to figure out how.

Again, thanks for your feedback.
