You've done a good job of outlining your product, what it does, why it's needed etc. But I'd recommend some design tweaks. I think you should get rid of the shadows. They make it difficult to read, and it doesn't look very professional, crisp or clean. The white on brown isn't super easy to read. Maybe go for more contrast in that section on the bottom. Why is the socialize at the bottom so HUGE?? What is that? Why is it there? Why is it detracting from the opportunity to say more important stuff about splinch? Your page content should have a set width. You're resizing your 'splinch provides' text which is making it too long to read. Give yourself a limit of 980px or something like that, and squeeze all your content into that box. Take a look at the homepage for http://basecamp.hq - you can get some ideas for layout from sites like this. Makes it very difficult to read. |

All the text shadows or specific ones? I used it only in places where I thought that it made the text _easier_ to read because it helps increase contrast. I'm probably mistaken :)
I'm really surprised by people telling me to make the site fixed-width, all the work I have done with accessibility, etc has taught me to make it scale nicely and avoid using absolute units wherever possible. I'll modify it to include a fixed width on my dev environment and take a look.
Sociable is the name of my company, Splinch is the product. I note that basecamphq.com has a great big 37 signals at the bottom of the page too, but I take your point and will reduce the size and add text explaining what it is.
