I might be the only one, but design quality is a signal of development quality for me (even though, as a developer I know well that it's not). But when I see badly designed software or application, I say "If the developer didn't care, why should I?".

Another thing, these are things that I won't die without. I enjoy well crafted products (and will pay few $$ instead of using an ugly product that does the same thing).

Mobile Applications is not my expertise, so I'll give you a few suggestions on the landing page

- A contrast. For the moment, the logo is lost in the white. The iPhone video (and the iPhone device itself) is filled with white.

- A better font. You already know about font-face. Now try to pick a nicer one. TypeKit is free to start.

- A logo. Costs $25 to buy from Graphic River. Stock Templates/Scripts are a good quality/cost solution when you are bootstrapping with empty pockets.

- The social icons are buried. Also why is the Facebook button in French?

In your source code

- Don't put your scripts tag at the header, make it loads fast. Also don't use in-line JavaScript. Your CSS and JS condensed in one file

- It seems like non HTML5 users will not watch your video.

In your video, instead of the mouse cursor, use a 0.7 opacity rounded circle. It looks nicer and feel like your fingertip is moving there.

Nice work.



Thank you very much, we still have a lot to learn on web design. We'll rework the website based on your very constructive feedback.
