New B2B startup, targeting other startups: http://schmetrics.com

Seems we've hit on a real need with our solution. It's testing super well, and we've quickly turned into a very lucrative business.

No time yet for design; we're a week old and only just now put up a website.

Let me know what you think!

Early user of this stuff, and it's been great. These guys are responsive and the tech is simple and effective. Lets us answer user behavior questions without crying ourselves to sleep afterwards.

Maybe just personal preference here but there's a lot of text in there (likely lots that won't be read). I'd drop it down to a sentence and a diagram. Agree with the idea though.

I'm probably a prude but the profanity and use of "wtf", "badass" and "retardedness" are off-putting, especially if you expect to target businesses.

I'd at least definitely drop the word "retarded-".

Seems super unprofessional and potentially offensive. I'd say it's damn near saying something like: "tired of all those gay products out there that...?"

thanks for the feedback; we definitely agree it will be off-putting to certain kinds of clients

luckily for us, those are the kinds of clients we don't want to deal with right now :)

I want to keep the site light and un-intimidating, but i'm wondering if this goes too far. Will this work?

"WTF", "badass", "retardedly", and "no-bullshit" aren't exactly light and un-intimidating.
