I don't have time to test the actual app right now (it seems like a great service). So my only review could be about the front page, which is pretty, but the features animation (images fading & sliding in) is not implemented well. the previous image fades very slowly and for no apparent reason, every time a new image slides in, my browser lags (it could be my browser though; Safari 5.2 beta).

Also, I think your sample documents are not good examples of what your app can do, and a couple of them (1st, 2nd) are kinda low resolution.

I agree... cut out the animation, its too distracting and just as you start to read one page it changes to the next, I would recommend a clean, concise tab that explains what features the app has and why I would want to start using it

Hi There, Thank you both for your comments, this was something that we also flagged to be removed in the new design. GroupDocs marketing website v2.0 definitely wont have any distracting auto-scrolling moments. Cheers, Derek

Cool, yeah I actually tried clicking on one of the screens without realizing it was just an image, would be cool to have a screen where you can start interacting with right away.. good luck with your endeavor

That's actually something that I was thinking about doing, allowing users to play with the interface without actually creating an account, similar to what stripe do on their dashboard
