Ask HN: Redesign after HN critique (instant "coming soon" pages app)

Hi everyone,

Last Thursday I asked HN for a review of my web app for creating instant "coming soon" pages. The response was great -- you guys really, really didn't like it (and deservedly so). :)

* Here's the original thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2123228

* This is how it looked before: http://soonhere.com/original.html

* Here's how it looks now: http://soonhere.com

It's obviously still a work in progress (there are still some issues, especially with IE, the interface needs polishing, there's no help etc.) but the main functionality is there.

Some stats:

* The original thread got 5 upvotes and 5 comments (not counting mine);

* The site got 150 visitors on Thursday and 30 on Friday (40% from the US, 20% from the UK -- half of that from London -- and 4% from Canada);

* Of those, 5 visitors created an account (1 or 2 with email addresses that looked real).

I'd like to thank nudge, komlenic, SHOwnsYou (I used your first instinct idea after all), pacifika and dlsay for their comments in the original thread.

Now -- before I spend more time on this instead of other projects I have lined up, I'd like to find out if the concept actually is viable. Since a considerable part of its target market hangs out on HN, I'd expect at least a few signups (the first attempt failed miserably here). If anyone signs up and activates any of the paid plans by the end of January, I'll upgrade them to a higher plan for free [1]. Plus, I pledge to describe in detail how it went if the thing actually goes off. :)

[1] (the upgrade from the 'pro' plan is a yet-to-be-named uberplan with image backgrounds, css override and other stuff -- if there's any interest in the site, it will be introduced in February; the pro plan itself is going to get updated as well)

So, what do you think about it after the makeover?
