Great looking website! But... I hated it. As soon as I opened it the fan on my 1 yr old Macbook Pro started spinning like crazy. As I scrolled down, so many things were animating it made my head dizzy. I fully understand the need to stand out but shouldn't the #1 goal of a (landing) website be to educate the user (me) about what you do and why it's relevant to me. Maybe this product is super useful and I would pay serious money for it. Maybe it will solve all my problems in the best possible way. Unfortunately, I will probably never find out due to this first time experience.

Thanks for the feedback. We tried to be really thoughtful about the UX / animations, but looks like we missed the mark with you. The site converts close to 6%, which is a really high conversion rate for b2b. I agree that we need more product screenshots, especially given how easy to use the product is. We are working on a "how it works" section with more screenshots. In the meantime, you can see screenshots here (https://www.dropbox.com/home/Mutiny%20Press%20Kit/Mutiny%20p...) or sign up for a demo on our website. We are trying to build product and trial experiences as fast as we can :)
That link doesn't work
I found it ok on iPhone 6, both experience and speed wise on a fairly modest ADSL, but given what they do I can’t be sure I saw the same page as you!
