I like the landing page, it is very clean and easy to understand what you're doing.

Was the slightly religious 'cheesus' (Chesus) url intentional?

It's a good idea, and smart that the wedding hosts pay for the app for their entire party.

I'd get rid of the 'I've been waiting for an app like this' bit until you have more feedback.

Your 'how it works' section could be made simpler, and you have a spelling error 'camersa'.

All you need is

Congratulations! you're getting married.

To use cheese.us at your wedding

1) Tell us your name, the date and location of your wedding

2) Get your friends to 'check-in' with the chees.us app at the wedding. If they don't already have Chees.us, they can download it free.

3) your guests use the chees.us app to take photos at your wedding

All the photos are gathered in real-time, and can always be viewed after the event!

Photos not taken with the cheesus app can always be added to the cheesus gallery later.

something along those lines. You seem very concerned with how long it would take, but really you just want to make it sound easy and fun.

Don't forget, you are talking/selling to people who are about to get married and are really excited about it. You should build on their excitement and anticipation.

You've got a great idea, best of luck with it.


this is fantastic feedback! thanks... stay tuned for an update:)

a little texty but working on it... will supplement with a video or images of the app itself... thanks!


You need a copywriter my friend. What the site does isn't very clear from first reading it; only after parsing what WE ALL was supposed to reference. You don't want so many long obtuse words to describe what it is.

Say it plainly in and in as few words as possible. Less text == better.

The wedding must be after July 1st 2011 bit is a little unnecessary and gives off bad vibes; just say you're launching in July and start collecting emails like a mofo now. I should be staring at a small input form that is begging to convert me and all the other smart-phone touting friends and relatives of mine I'll share this with soon.

I get that you have a Google Form/Spreadsheets via the golden button, but the deeper the target, the higher the attrition rate from first time visitors who don't bother to wait along, especially after getting confused by all the text on the sidebar and top.

With your idea executed well, you should have a nice MVP rolling along soon. Keep hustling and the initiative.


thx- great advice... incorporated into the iteration below.
