Why Your Startup Needs a Visual Dashboard

My own disclaimer: I run http://www.DashboardToSuccess.com.

Our belief is that a small business management Dashboard must be simple. We also recommend, per Jim Collins and every CPA out there, finding your Profit per X or Revenue per X and keeping a keen eye on that number.

Nice app, but do you think you could make the pricing more prominent? It's not a lot to charge, you don't have to be scared of it!

I only found it after clicking the FAQ link at the top, and even the signup screen is asking me to authorise paypal for an undisclosed amount.

Ditto. Whenever a company hides pricing information, I assume the product is incredibly expensive, or that there's some kind of licensing model that involves a phone call and a salesperson. Considering that it's only $10/month, the pricing should really be more prominent.

Just went to look at it, looks interesting but I got a 400 error once when I visited this page http://www.dashboardtosuccess.com/how-the-dashboard-works.ht.... You might want to look into it.

At http://www.dashboardtosuccess.com/take-a-tour.html the smaller photo has a visible iStockPhoto watermark. You probably forgot to replace it with the right one I suppose.

Agree with the simple. Few of the examples shown above seemed really complicated. It's great to measure your success but does it have to be packed with so many features? I'm not sure.

I would A/B test "Free Trial" vs. "Sign up now for a Free Trial". Also, forcing people to enter a CC number before their Free Trial probably reduces your signups significantly.
