Ask HN: We are looking for beta testers and comments on our beta signup page

We are giving the final touches to our app that replaces "while you where out memos" in offices. We are looking for beta users and comments on the design of the landing page. Any comments are appreciated.

that bright green banner is really bright... i found it hard to read any of the text on the site.

i'm also not convinced -- i see a crowded laptop screen and a bunch of post-it notes but i don't see a screenshot of my "favorite device", so i can't get a good 1-second gist of what you're offering.

nit picks:

- "while you were out memos" should be "while you were out" memos (move quotation mark)

- i would take the first person qualifiers out of the copy (we take the ..., our app..., etc) and make things shorter and more concise.

overall:

- design looks nice, though it looks to me like a pre-made theme

- show your apps in action, in an uncluttered environment (note how most macbook images don't show the keyboard)

- strengthen and clarify your message

Pretty much agree with the above, but would like to add:

"and event twitter or facebook." ("event" should be "even")

"for you to access anytime" (missing full stop at end)

I also didn't come away from it understanding what exactly the app does, what makes it different to someone just emailing me my messages?

This is exactly the type of feedback we like! Already working on some of your suggestions, they are spot on! Thanks

You've got lots of nice curves on your site, then these sharp angles in your green banner.

To my eye, it puts off the whole layout a bit.

I would improve the "Subscription Confirmed" email that comes after you sign up. It looks really bare, has First and Last name fields empty and does not match the websites style or color scheme.
