This was my YC idea, what do you think?

Linking to a press release you made that Forbes.com syndicated and making it look like Forbes wrote about you is deceptive. I stopped browsing at that point. If I were a potential customer I would feel like you were trying to trick me and wouldn't feel confident about using your service, or trusting your company. <p>Otherwise, the layout looks good. Some of your marketing text reads a little funny//choppy. You might want to re-read what you wrote and fine-tune. <p>And nitpicking: I don't like how the word "it" is on its own line in the quote on your front page.

Visually, this site <i>shouts</i> "Web 2.0!!!" like no other. Going from the simple, clean layout of Hacker News to that was jarring. I suggest you drop at least one standard Web 2.0 design element. Personally, I'd lose the reflections and tone down the drop shadows.<p>It's also not clear to me what this product actually <i>does</i>. That may be because I don't have a background in marketing and don't know the jargon very well, but it might also be that your content reads like marketing fluff. In 150 words or fewer, what does this service do?

it would be nice if it were a little more tangible -- you say you help gather and manage leads and make it easier to manage search marketing. but those are huge spaces and cover a universe of possible features/applications.<p>for example, maybe make the screenshots more legible so i could quickly get a feel for what specifically the thing does (ok, the 'create custom landing pages' and forms is clear enough, but the rest of the description is a lot fuzzier) and how i can use it.<p>the site itself looks gorgeous, though -- good luck!

if this was your YC idea, meaning it was turned down and you went ahead and still did it, I want to say congrats on finishing it and not giving up.

nicely designed. i agree with others about the copy. it's well written, but i don't think the tone is appropriate for this type of product. then again, i'm not even a potential user...<p>I would take what everyone on here says with a grain of salt because i'm guessing <i>most</i> of us haven't used a CRM app.
