Yeah, you only have 1 product, that's the first thing the user should see. I just see text on your page and have no desire to read it. Solution: Make a little flash demo of your application (www.loopt.com ) and display it on the front page.

It took me like 5 clicks to get to your d/l site, d/l should be first and easiest thing to do.

Your top banner sucks. I don't care about the date, it fills up 1/4 of the screen and contains no information, drop it. Go to each of the y.combinator funded companies, they have decent sites: http://www.ycombinator.com/faq.html

I'm on a mac, so I can't actually use your software.

I have been thinking of what a short 2 minute video would contain. I think a video is more useful than a screen cast. Since juwo has a dozen things it could be used for, what should I mention? Any thoughts?

If you are good at Javascript, would you like to help get juwo run on Macs? All that is needed AFAIK is to control QT with Javascript. I had issues controlling QT with Javascript. I have some code. (I am weary doing it alone).

I firmly believe that you need 1 screenshot, or maybe a 5s screen cast. Just something that gets the jist of it out there. 2-3 minutes is too much. Most tools have dozens of options, so be a reductionist here.

If you're going to be marketing juwo to different types of customers, have a 5 sec screencast, and then links to 3 or 4 subclasses (this will help you when you start advertising w/ google adsense as well.)

I'm too busy to help further :)

2-3 minutes for a screencast isn't too much. But don't have it autolaunch or on the same page. Make the screenshot link to the screencast and across it have, "Watch it in action!" or something.

Anyway, I should get to work on my stuff too :P
