I would go for almost complete removal of the banner.

I would pay too for the right feedback and I would have loved to have feedback at earlier stages of a Project as well:) Are we a market large enough? Other concerns: don't turn launchly.com into a consulting service by crowd voting, it has a larger potential. I am sure if it can attract the right people and traffic the money part can follow (think also advertizing from specialists SEO, usability experts, Coders, VC Funds etc).

Ok, I will play around with that. I was/am just worried that w/out something saying "This is what we do" people will show up and go "Uhm... what?" and then leave.

Maybe a smaller tagline on the homepage not in a banner? The other thing is that banner is carried throughout the site design (and used as extra navigation in other areas) so it would be a bit inconsistent without it.
