Stuff I like:

-The semi-transparent chameleon is clever

-The pricing section is well-designed

-Product looks simple and easy-to-use

Stuff to consider:

-Try making the chameleon 50%-75% smaller. It distracts from the content.

-I would eliminate the "Sign up with Huey" hoverstate. My first question was literally, who is Huey? I now know it's the name of a plan. If you leave it, the default plan should be Iguana, the recommended plan, and not the most expensive one.

-Currently the product comes across as too generic. Add a few more screenshots and use-cases to show off the uniqueness of your product.

-The support and sign-in buttons are too transparent. To draw attention to them, they should probably less transparent and have a solid text color.

-The product may be too barebones for the prices you are selling at. Try adding more features like voting for the best version, adding annotations, etc...

Thanks for the feedback.

Huey is actually the name of the chameleon - but I guess that doesn't quite articulate that. Will have to find another way to do that.

Huey is also the name of a plan, so I can see how that causes confusion.

In terms of the price, I am not really selling on features - yet - but more on the benefit. I used to have this problem - i.e. managing multiple designers, with stakeholders all over the world - and I would have paid those prices to solve that problem.

That being said, I do intend to possibly add cheaper plans in the future - but I need to get the core problem solve and get some real customer feedback from paying customers.

Also, given that it is just me right now, I can't realistically support a ton of users - so we will see how it goes.

Btw, re: the design of the marketing site. Was done by: http://fairheadcreative.com/ and the UI design was done by: http://www.andreeblixt.com/ Both awesome designers.

Huey was obvious to me, and I thought it was clever.
