Hey, great work. We're adding panoramas at http://cheergram.com very soon. I like the niche printing business and I think there's definitely demand.
3 Things:
My biggest issue with the site is that you don't show the final product anywhere. It should really be the hero of your home page (where that little dude with the chalkboard is). Even if you don't have one printed yet, make a fake print+frame in Photoshop (not hard) and throw it on an istock living room image [1].
Second, your "Buy Now" button should be other places besides the top-right corner. Took me a while to find it. Look at our site or others that sell just 1 thing. You need a big CTA button middle-left. A/B Test it for sure.
Third, consider offering a frame as an add-on. I don't think you can walk in to Target and get a frame that fits an 8x36 print and most people won't go through the additional step of finding one or having it made. You want repeat customers and the best way to get them is to make sure they use/see the product the first time they buy. At the very least, tell them where they can find frames to fit your prints and put that on your site and email receipts.
Congrats, and I'll add one nitty comment. I think the main email address should be "help@" or "support@". I get that you are trying to be whimsical with the "hi@", but I think you should stick to using your site design as your branding tool and keep the email address standard -- it just threw me a little.
On Pantastic, I can click on 'Pay Now' without filling out any of my contact information, or uploading an image. You (Pantastic) may want to validate all that before sending the user to the payment page to avoid headaches later on.
Hey, one advise for you at Cheergram. It would be great to be able to pick pictures from other users than myself. I want to make a print with both my photos and my girlfriend's mixed together but couldn't.
We have that feature ready to go but I'm trying to clear some legal/copyright questions first. For most people who want to just combine their images with friends/family, it's fine. But there are people on Instagram who wouldn't want me making money from their images being hung on other people's walls.

That's all I got for now. Good job.

Thanks, it's good to know people want that.

Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it!
