A little explanation of what it does would be useful...

If you go to fontprep.com you'll see a demo video, which is quite helpful.

From our website:

FontPrep converts all of your TTF & OTF files to web-ready formats: WOFF, EOT, and SVG. FontPrep also fires up a server listening on port 7500 so you can easily view and test your fonts.

A designer's feedback - The site's design is not very interesting, in the sense that:

1)The homepage doesn't explain anything about what the product is clearly.

2)I'm forced to watch a video to get to know what the product is, which is a very bad UX.

Neya, good point. This is what a two man team looks like trying to release a product in 3 weeks. We'll be sprucing the site a little more in the coming days. We chose to focus on the usability of the app more than the site. Hopefully that translates well to our users.

Hi neya,

I understand well the points you make and I can assure you they've been irking me these past weeks as well. But like my brother pointed out, the lion's share of our time recently has been devoted to refining the actual app as much as possible along with all of the other tasks that revolve around releasing a product. Within the next week or so, we'll have a MUCH more refined web presence. Hope you enjoy the app and thanks for the input!

You're most welcome.
