Hi Startup buddies,

The company I`m with just recently launched a new solution called Pingworx.  I want to get your opinions on our site, www.Pingworx.com.  Let me know if the site is clear and you understand what we are providing.  Whatever you come up with let me know and be honest. 

Thank you all,

Yaron

Yaron,

I like it. Clean, concise, clear. Your messages comes across quickly. Simple and easy navigation. Makes me want to at least check you guys out. And, I have a pretty big project in the planning stages and we may just talk one day in the near future.

Thanks and much success!

A screen capture so you can see what I see. I use barebones Fx to browse the net, I`m using it to post this so it`s not my browser. I would be a good idea to make your site visible to those that don`t have all those plug-ins for safety reasons.

Very interesting....I love the concept of what you are doing...it truely looks like a solution for people to get what they want, when they want it.  I also like you verbage, it gets you excited....like as if to say "I finally found a company who can get me what I want"

My only concern is your pricing...I know it is simple and clean cut....but 10k a month....I guess I just dont know to what scale of projects you will be doing.  I am assuming these must be massive projects if a company is look at paying you around a 130k a year.

Well good luck with the new product, i hope you get a lot of clients!

ElidS,

Thank you for your feedback.  I will inform our developers to look at this and see if they can fix that. 

Thanks,

Erik,

Thank you for taking the time to review Pingworx.com.  Your feedback is very much appreciated.  I can send you some more information about this solution if you like to illustrate how the cost is broken down and how it makes sense.  As you stated, the scope of the project definitely must justify the price.  Let me know if you would like me to send you more information.

Yaron,

A couple points:

- It doesn`t appear that your portfolio projects are live.  Both websites appear to be the original as shown in the "before" screenshots.
- I`ve got mixed feelings about AJAX... while I love the reponsive feel of the website it didn`t appear there was any way to bookmark a particular page.  For the amount of content, this probably doesn`t matter but I personally like the feature.  I`ve heard using an the old school iframe technique gives the best of both worlds but have yet to really make it happen (in the real world) myself.
- I would be interested to hear more on your price point.  While 10k for the site / development doesn`t seem out of line 10k a month had better get me at least a couple high end servers and a NAS farm, or maybe just one heck of a pipe.

Overall the site is very well designed.  I would love for you to go into more detail on the technical aspects but in a place that doesn`t get in the way of your current presentation.

ElidS - The site uses flash on the first page and either you don`t have flash installed or maybe there are some version issues (Worked fine in FF 1.5.0.7).

A few observations - clearly just a personal opinion, but the burger motif doesn`t really do it for me.  What that implies to me is that you just sandwich (seriously, pun not intended) a bunch of services together without much regard to where they fit in the overall picture.  I know that`s not the case with your offering, but that`s the message I take away from that.  And the fact that it`s in flash creates problems already highlighted by another poster.

I also have mixed feelings about the AJAX driven nature of the site as well.  I can understand the desire to show an implementation to a browser, but I think you`d be better served doing that through client examples (and speaking of client examples, link through to their current sites, it`s frustrating not to have that available when reading a case study).

That being said, the offering is interesting, the content is valuable - best of luck.

Chuck,

You make some very valid points and will bring this up with my development team.  As for the burger, wasn`t my idea, haha, but I see your point.  The site a work in progress and any feedback is very helpful.  We hope that the site will spark interest for a potential client, and then they will either email or call us and then we can go into more detail and explain the full service of the solution. 

Thanks,

Yaron
