News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Visually, this site shouts "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.

It's also not clear to me what this product actually does. 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?

I think the design is fine. It's silly to classify this as Web 2.0, that doesn't make any sense.

As for what it does, on the homepage: Generate, Manage & Track New Leads. All in one place. That's 9 words and one symbol. This is a sales tool, you labeling it as something that's related to marketing makes it clear you're not part of the demographics.
