About Tom’s Planner:
Tom’s Planner allows you to create and share project plans online. It’s the ideal starting point for virtually every project and every project manager. You can publish your schedules online, collaborate on them with a team, export them to an image or MS Project with no more than two mouse clicks.
What makes Tom’s Planner stand out in the crowd of PM tools is that we approach the creation of project schedules from a visual angle instead of an abstract framework of activities and dependencies. This results in an extremely user friendly application.
The application is used by a wide audience.

"I am really pleased with the results from StartUpLift. The feedback that we received through the site will go a long way towards improving our service. All the responses were professional, thoughtful, and well written. I think the concept and the service that StartUpLift is providing is brilliant. ”
*My first impression is that the site is appealing. I enjoyed the color schemes and it was layed out in a way that is easy to navigate.
?*Honestly, I do not like either tagline. I think it should be something shorter and easier for people to remember.
*I would keep everything “except” for the quick tool. I think it has to many advertisements on it and it would make customers that pay attention to the content of the website.
*The signup and pricing is perfect and I would not change it. It is easy to understand and layed out in a straight forward manner.
*I would market it on linkedin, facebook and twitter.
*I am a freelance writer and could write about Tom’s Planner.
* I think you should rearrange the tabs. The about us should be first, product info then signup & pricing.
What is your first impression when you open the website? I am inspired by all the bright colors of the website upon opening the main page. As usual, when I am visiting a new website, I look for the main tabs for the navigation of the website. I find these tabs located just under the header. The tabs contain all the tools I am searching for without confusion.
What do you think of our tagline: “Truly easy to use project planning software”. Do you think “Surprisingly easy to use project planning software” would be better? Although I have no issues with your present tagline, “Truly easy to use”, for some reason, to me, “Surprisingly easy” seem to flow better.
On the website: what would you definitely keep and what would you change? Although I do like the Quick Sign Up option on the main page, I am a little turned off by the “What Others are Saying” portion of the sign up. My immediate attention is drawn to the names on the ads (logos) of the “Others”. The impression of seeing ads take my attention away from the site. I am thinking, too overwhelming for me to read. I would do away with that, or at the most maybe leave one or two.
I would definitely keep the header the way it is. I love it!
When you go to the ‘pricing and sign-up page, do you find the information is presented in a clear and straight forward way? Yes. I love the method of having a checklist to compare the plans. I am super surprised to see that “email support” is an option for all three of your plans. That is something that I base my decisions on when signing up for a plan.
How would you market Tom’s Planner? I, personally, would market the website via all my social networking sites, such as Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin. I feel that discussing the site and it’s benefits to all my business associates is the best way to advertise.
Do you know any specific blogs, websites and/or journalists that would be interested in writing about Tom’s Planner? I would definitely start with Linkedin. I would also ask moms to mention your site on Cafemom.com. There are lots of business moms on Cafemom that are always looking for project management ideas.
I appreciate the fact that the contact tab is easy to find in all pages of the website. That is my most important consideration, always! I also feel that the pricing is current with today’s market!

my impression is When I first opened the site I really liked the design of the website. I really liked how there was a planner right at the top of page and i love the colors there are so colorful and bright.
?Home page appears a bit cluttered. Quick tutorial did not work. “Truly easy to use project planning software”. I think is the way to go. Pricing is presented clearly and it is very reasonably priced.
I have a video/film production company and this program is easier to use that some design specifically for the video/film production industry.
I’d try making some of the templates specific to production and market it to tv production/stations.
