This looks interesting, but I'm thrilled to hear that you are actually talking to customers first. Listen to them.

Nits: 1) I don't like that the 3 sellings points on the splash screen are aligned with 3 unrelated feature images. I was expecting each image to reflect each selling point and got a little confused.

2) The green hills footer bugs the crap out of me on the inner screens. Seeing text peak around a curved footer when I'm scrolling just doesn't look right.

Also a quick point on #1 - the images caught my eye more than the text and the images/text seem to link to different places.

If you want to get all 6 of these points across, I'd suggest letting the text live alone where it is then placing the images in a 3 column layout down below and enlarging them.

Just out of curiosity, what resolution are you using? I just happen to be using my old laptop today and I could see how the hills could be more distracting than we had anticipated.
I didn't realize that I could scroll through the hills (using a macbook pro at 1440x900) and accidentally hit my scroll wheel.
I find them annoying as well. 1600x1200.
The clouds at the top are annoying as well, but significantly less so than the hills.
