You should probably have someone proofread the English on your site.

There's something really distinctive about the kind of English that Polish people (especially the ones confident in their language skills) use in writing, it's really easy to tell.

It's easy to spot a native "slavic" speaker. There is no concept of definite article, so they tend to skip it.

I was going to criticize you for being overly critical but then I looked through the English and this is a real problem. My advice would be to get the English proofread as some people may suspect the final product is associated with the English on the landing page (it doesn't look like it is, but it may give the wrong expression). Examples:

"we gain more" --> "we gained more"

"more than 15 years I design apps" --> "more than 15 years I have designed apps"

"more than less" --> "more or less"

"It's something worth to be proud of" --> "It's something to be proud of"

"more than 15 years I have designed apps" => I have designed apps for over 15 years. ;-)

I was going to say this. The bits I've read are understandable, they're just not 100% correct.

In the interests of giving back, and not being a coder, please find below my quick and dirty re-write of the CEO's intro. Note that this has not been copy-hacked or made more sales-y, I've just tried to fix the minor issues with the English. Hope it helps!

We’ve created brix.io because we want to share our success with you. Our success is your success. Join us.

How in less than a year we gained more than 12.000 customers from all over the world.

My name is Lukasz Holeczek and I am the CEO of BootstrapMaster.com & Brix.io. I love design, that’s why for more than 15 years I have designed apps, interfaces and web pages. But suddenly all this changed when I discovered the Bootstrap framework. Both interfaces and web sites became easier and more user friendly each time I start the design process. That was the origin of BootstrapMaster.com, our design studio, specialising in Bootstrap interfaces. Now we’re one of the market leaders, having more than 12,000 customers and almost 100k people who use our free templates. What does it mean? That more or less millions of people use our solutions every day. It’s something we're very proud of.

Among our customers you will find small companies and startups, as well as big guys from Silicon Valley and from the Fortune 500 list. To ensure the best service for them and efficient design for us, we need appropriate tools. That’s why we decided to create our own app, which could be used by our team on a day to day basis. And suddenly one of us asked, why not to share it with all of you? So here it is, a complete tool which implements our experience & know-how in the design of sexy interfaces and web pages.

Brix.io helps us and also helps you to create better projects, making them faster and easier than ever before. All the projects can be mastered by you and/or your team. The results of your work can be instantly presented to your customers. And at the same time, you’re just one step closer to creating the world’s sexiest projects.

No worries - glad I could help. And your English certainly beats my Polish ;-)

I knew I was setting myself up a hostage to fortune and as soon as I did it someone would spot new typos :-) Thanks, fixed.
