All I'm getting is one page which is a sign up form.

As far as the page goes, I'm wondering what's in it for me if I'm a business owner? What's your audience? How do I know whomever you attract will be my customer base? How are you bringing in people to see the review, and how do I know your review will carry any weight.

How do you make money from this if it's free to me with no obligation?

Also, who's doing the reviewing? What's the review criteria? What makes the reviewers qualified to review?

Basically, at this point, I'm at sea. If you want businesses to sign up for your service you're going to need to provide them with a great deal more information than you have.

There is no way to leave an email address, it won't change from the sample email address.

There is no explanation or proof that what you are trying to do is going to work. From an end user stand point it just looks like a way to collect my info for spam. What's the difference between this and angies list? Is it just a business directory? What sets you apart? What do I get out of this? What are you guaranteeing me? These are question an average user might ask.

Other businesses will be driving the traffic. Sheer interest in other that have new small business will promote visitor return.

For this site to work you will need both traffic and some legitimacy to review a company. How would you do the review? Would you visit the company, review what the company provides are look through the media for information about the company? Also what give your reviews legitimacy? Are you a know expert on small businesses? Have you reviewed small business for years??

In short, I don't see anything on that page that tells me the benefits of having you review my business.

If I have to try another browser, you need to fix your email system. Just sayin'

Errors show up when I click on the form. They should only show up after I click "continue" and my answers are invalid. Validating a form before will make it look very mucky.

What is the co-relation to the flower wallpaper background to small business? Not a fan of the transparent images, they remind me of the early 2000's of designing things.

The content on the site is very meagre. Why would I trust a website that has so little information about it's history or any case studies? Why don't you have any site terms that will convince me that my email won't be used in a manner I wouldn't want? You state hours on the site but is that central time? Eastern? No way of knowing. What does "The businesses you built,... everyday!" tagline have to do with what you offer me as a buyer? I don't understand this tagline at all.
