Do you have a ballpark figure of how much money she'd like to make each month?

This looks like it could be quite useful. I do think the site would benefit from the addition of case studies. If you don't want to publicly share any on a blog, you could set up an email opt-in to receive them.

You're welcome. Have you tried seeing if any of the editors of your target publications are active on Twitter or Facebook? Both can be a good starting point for building relationships.

While there are quite a few companies in the textbook rental and marketplace space, this seems to be the only one doing flat-fee swaps: http://edubookswap.com/

" I'll think I'll have to run some A/B tests to see what effect the little guy and his different expressions have on visitors. " Excellent idea. And that's exactly the type of activity that would make for a great blog post!

Nice work! I'm generally pretty immune to copy, but that would definitely get my attention. Also, good job eliminating the extra page in between clicking the button and the contact page. The only thing I'm not 100% sure about is the charact

This looks like a great start. The first suggestion I would make is listing the features down the page instead of across. I think that will make it significantly easier for visitors to see what your platform has to offer. Also, I would expa

Although it's a cheesy title, check out the "Letters That Produced Miraculous Results" chapter in Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People". It will give you some great ideas about how to get a response from the initial emai

I think the real value of this type of testing would come from actually talking to people who are interested in your product. With that goal in mind, I would change the "I'm Interested" button to a single email submission field with a call

Congrats on diving in and creating something! I would remove the Learn More button. You've got useful information on that page, so just take it and put it directly below your signup box. Also, I'm guessing English isn't your first language

You did a great job of making it dead simple to sign up for something really useful! After simply entering my domain name & email, I received a confirmation that my site was up, followed by a 2nd email with my account details.

This seems like a cool concept. I think it would be useful to add some theme screenshots to the homepage. From what's currently there, I couldn't tell what kind of theme I would end up with.

Your landing page images look great. However, instead of the slider, I think a static version with all of them on the page would be provide a better user experience.

Nicely done Cedric, this is a great start. Have you had a chance to show it to any wedding organizers yet?

Congrats on everything you've accomplished over the last two years. I'd love to read a blog post (or more) dedicated to this topic: "Through our members' generous feedback and often tyrannical suggestions for improvements they gave us the a

Given the usefulness of this project, it seems like you could get a lot of local press coverage. Have you tried reaching out to anyone yet?

Can you share a little more information about your project? It seems there are plenty of HNers who would like to brainstorm with you.

Thanks for elaborating, that makes sense. Since I noticed in another one of your other comments that you're planning on a freemium model, I think Option A is a good enough starting point. Once you get the ball rolling, it would be interesti

The site looks great. However, I agree with apsurd. If you first let users play around, it shouldn't take long until they're hooked and much more eager to sign up.

Good to hear. The TC coverage is a great way to kick things off, but in the long-run, I think investing time in developing a presence in that community is what can really bring you a significant number of signups.

I'm not a parent, but the site looks great and I can definitely see the appeal of this kind of community/service. Has the WeSprout team spent much time reaching out to parenting bloggers?

Along with the two options that pop up when "Choose your nearest city" is clicked, how about a third like: Don't see a city close to you? This option could then take the user to a page where they can submit their city & email. I think t

RentMeAHandbag.com seems to be the only site that offer women's shoe rentals. However, instead of a queue system, they offer weekly or monthly rentals. From the page I checked out, they're quite pricey ($279/week or $558/month for Manolo Bl

In addition to the design work, I think there's value in being able to quickly browse through names that you know are definitely available and have transparent pricing. I went to ConsultingHut.com and saw that it was still the default GoDad

Alex, the site and app look great. Since your Twitter stream indicates that the site has been up for 6+ months, I'm curious if you can share any information about your personal vs. business signups? I may be completely off-base, but after s

I checked out the Curry Ferry demo site on my iPhone. It looked nice and was easy to browse. In addition to the "Menu > 20% off for group guests" link at the top of the homepage, I would add it to the bottom as well. That will allow vis

Very cool idea. My one suggestion would be to add an email signup to your homepage. Something along the lines of: Be the first to know when new shows are added! You could also add a form to the individual show pages by simply replacing "sho

Ben, this sounds very useful. Do you have any screenshots of it in action?

I agree. playhard, your logo and color scheme look good. But keep in mind that if someone opens your link in a background tab and then looks at it a few minutes later, all they're going to see is: Coming soon... Are you ready to Luttie? Sin
