Comment on Please review my startup

The site doesn't do a very good job of telling me what it does.

After scanning for several seconds, I'm now aware that I can "Listen, react and retain". None of those are things I need to do right now, so away I click...

Now if you'd started off with saying something about the fact that you're for businesses and that you do customer feedback (instead of sort of whispering it up top), then we'd be getting somewhere. You see, my website might actually need to listen, react and retain stuff.

So yeah, it's pretty, and it gets a message across. Unfortunately the message it gets across is not parseable without some forknowledge of what your site does.

Here's a quick counterexample from a site I'm building right now:

http://www.fairtutor.com/

Give that link 5 seconds, then come back here and let us know if you can tell what the site does.

Great point. This is a really interesting startup and super, super clear about what it does. I couldn't help but think about this idea -- when I was in south america and paying less than a third of the price for private tutors. Good hunting! Looking forward to your launch.
