Show HN: Verelo.com

We were going to launch our new product into beta tomorrow (http://www.verelo.com - web monitoring) however, it just so happens to be the same day of the SOPA protests. We're going to black out in support. Feel free to take a peek before we do black out, we'd love feedback on our web design.

  • The landing page is nice. Nice enough for me to click on the button to try it and then find out it's invite only. If you were going to launch tomorrow, why not let us try it today?

    And of course I'm going to want to know how this is better/different than pingdom?

  • The "our customers" quote is overlapping the text above it at the bottom of the page for me. Firefox 9.01 on Vista. Its fine on Chrome though.

    Great design by the way. I would play up the alerts a bit more in your marketing copy. Companies would pay to immediately know their site has been defaced/hacked/down instead of waking up in the morning to a barrage of angry emails. Especially people with online stores. That's money in the bank right there.

  • Clickable link: http://www.verelo.com/

    Good luck guys.

  • If I had one tiny criticism about the site it's that the menu bar, once it detaches and scrolls with the user, is a bit hard to make out because of its transparent background.

  • Very nice looking site. I use siteuptime right now though, how would you convince me to switch over?

  • You can see some of Verelo's updates here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Verelo/217341405001113

  • I didn't see any pricing info on your site, although I do see a "Try it now for free" button. Does this mean it's free for the duration of the beta period?

  • How is this any better than other website monitors? Others have alerts, and regular checks too

  • It looks like dramatically is missing an a on the blackout page.
