About-page is caught by a wildcard which shows a slightly modified landing page with different prices.
Flexible layout could use some more testing. Choose plan buttons escape their parent boxes on the right at minimum width. Free trial button could use some vertical breathing room at min. width. Login and sign up links change colour (gray to blue) and go vertical.
also, on the support page, I'd make it a regular clickable email address rather than "support at hostedgraphite.com". You want to make it easy for your customers to reach you. At this point you shouldn't be too worried about spam. We've had our email address on our site for about 6 months now, and have received a total of 3 spam messages that weren't caught by google's filters. Not sure how good huggl.es is wrt spam filtering, but, you won't get much spam until you're popular enough to be crawled by spammers, and once you're popular enough, you'll be able to afford spam filtering software.
There is a limit on metrics/sec, currently 50/sec, but we're trying to keep that limit high enough that people don't need to worry about it. We expect that most people won't hit the API directly and will use statsd instead.
Interesting. Do you do any correlation or alerts like Librato Metrics or is this just a graphing service? The $5/mo price point is similar for both services...
Feedback: this service looks oriented toward teams managing complex applications in production. $5 is never an appropriate monthly price for those folks. Even if it's just one developer (consider pinboard.in, for example). If that one developer needs hosted Graphite to monitor his/her app it's worth considerably more than $5 to that developer.
Also: I understand this is likely your MVP website, but you should at least link to a page about Graphite, even if it's not on your website. And screenshots are going to really sell this thing.

Thanks for the comments, we'll work through those. Much appreciated!
