I'd say it's a very pleasant visual (disclaimer: I'm not much of a design-beauty guy), but here's one heads-up:

Cmd(cntl)+(+key) cannot be used to enlarge text for the visually impaired (or just those with high pixel density screens) - not without breaking the bounds of they graphics they're placed over.

EDIT:

Second thought... Why just say, "experience our comprehensive privacy measures instated for your peace of mind"? How about a link to a page describing those measures? I suggest this because I'm the wary type: I don't spend time 'experiencing' without major reassurance in advance. That's also why I don't provide an email address 'for notification' unless the landing page (or at least additional pages linked thereon) powerfully sells me on "wow, this promises to be really cool (or really solve a problem that's been bugging my life)" )

Hope that some help.

3 Things

1. I asked why is it revolutionary? 2. It needs pictures. 3. More emotional copy. How does it solve the person's problem (which is obviously finding that person a partner) but are you targeting a specific niche within that niche? Some people want love, others want fun, others want things that can't be described in public :)

So how is this different from every other dating site. (and they are a LOT of them)

Thanks for the feedback guys.

@apedley - Demo video on the way, being that we're still in stealth mode, cannot release too much details. But I assure you that it'll be completely different from any existing dating services.

@media - That's a good tip, I'll do that. Although it'll have to be when we get closer to launching Beta.
