I agree with the other comments saying that your home page doesn't describe your product clearly enough. I disagree that showing a video is the best solution. As a user, I don't want to waste my time watching a video until I'm convinced that I want to investigate further. Instead, I would put a Top 5 showcase of some great looking plans on the home page. This also gives an incentive for the users to create something that is really cool, so they can be featured on the home page. I think relying on Facebook Connect only might be a bit iffy, unless you absolutely require it for core functionality. In your case, Facebook adds some social elements but the core competency of your website is building plans. I might want to sign up to play with your site without using my Facebook account. If I like it enough to recommend it to my friends, I might be willing to link it to my Facebook account later. |

The reason we decided to use FB only auth is that we felt that in order to provide the same feature set with FB and without it would require quite a lot of duplication on our site. And the more social features we add - the more duplication it requires.
For example, for a plan you can specify "friends only" visibility - and for this to work we need to support friends lists in our app. We also use FB to send SMS reminders (if allowed by a user) - and that's not the easiest and cheapest thing to implement from scratch.
