my recommendation, show me what's going to happen before I do it. I don't want to make a subdomain and go through the process just to look over the builder itself. Maybe show the youtube videos on the main page or some nice screenshots?

I like the page operations though, being able to edit and remove modules was quite smooth.

I would recommend on that sidebar instructional panel to put the hide button on the top right corner, not on the side.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I like the idea of placing the hide button at the top instead of the slide. We'll experiment with both.

Regarding the "show me what's going to happen before I do it." Absolutely agree. Our real homepage is: http://boldcanvas.com/ - the link in the headline is just a demo page I created so HN users wouldn't be forced to create an account just to try or product
