A few suggestions, and an idea.

Unlike many people here, I do like the name. I understood it immediately, and contrary to what people are saying about "buzzwords", when writing a resume you are in fact promoting yourself. If I did have a suggestion, maybe add Resume to the name? PrauxResume.com ?

You lack a call to action. I really don't know what the next step on the website is. You need to explain precisely what I need to do next. Most of your users will be fairly stupid, they need to be told!

Someone mentioned the comment bubbles in your slideshow. I also agree that they need to go, they distract me from the useful content I am supposed to be reading. The comments are cute and clever and all, but get rid of them.

Finally, I think this would be fairly useful for people looking to hire people. Perhaps you could add some useful tools for people to search for resumes based on experience and geographical location - be sure to include protection so that peoples content can't be harvested for malicious purposes. Perhaps even an opt-out of the search, which is probably an essential addition.

I like it and have added it to my bookmarks, I may use it down the road. Best of luck and hope you get all the feedback you can handle.
