    need to better convince why market needs it

    Interesting concept, but what I found myself asking myself was how I would use it. Main reason for that is that I know PS but so will a lot of your target market (or they'll use a similar tool for generating images).

    The initial slideshow on the front page does a great job of demonstrating the concept, without it I would have been scratching my head a bit.

    The general layout of the site could do with a bit more punch. As the site is built entirely with your images it acts as an example of their application so needs to be visually appealing.

      I ask the same thing. Why would a designer or developer use this if they know PS. I've used it for site designs and it makes things very easy to change as when the client wants to change colors, text and so forth. I'd like to convey that in the site and am struggling with a way to do it.

      perhaps a side by side comparison of doing the same thing in PS

    Seems old school to me. Maybe you could show what you tool do. Text on orange bars could not be read easily.

    Hey Joey, I don't think the home page does a good job of explaining what this is. I think something like this needs a few complete sentences to explain rather than 1 title and some bullets down the page. Even after watching the demo, I don't full understand what it does and why someone would use it.

    Here are some of the questions I asked myself as I went through the demo: Who rounded the corners? Is this saying that I had a plain square image and all I had to do to round the corners, create a border, and fill with a gradient was important the original image into the easyimg website? Why would there ever be such a drastic change in a shape after I have already coded it? If I needed to make this change, however, I would just handle it in PS, and export the image.

      That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for your time.

      Anytime. I'll be happy to review a revised concept when ready. Good luck.

    Very old school

    This looks pretty old school and dated. Your design looks like it was built off of tables. Try making this less confined and more interesting. The colors are also looking pretty bland. You need some images and interesting elements to make this site more engaging.
