Smile Why pay for a registry tweak if I can edit the registry myself?

Greetings!

After implementing the first round of feedback, the site is ready for the second round...

I would appreciate as much feedback as you can provide.

http://www.softwarecandy.com/shop/in...faq&faq_item=6

Also note that the site is configured to provide an automatic 50% discount coupon to the next 100 new account creations. So if you do create an account for the purpose of testing but not use the coupon code, you can pass it to a friend.

I really like the spherical images used to represent the different products.

What software did you use to create those?

eLIANT, thank you for visiting my site and providing your feedback. Answering your question, I used GIMP.

Additional feedback is welcome.

Very nice site. Really clean. The only thing I would do at first glance is fix some of the pictures with blue around them:

Those are two I saw at first glance.

Perhaps "why buy a registry tweak..." has more punch than "why pay for..."

Same with "instead of editing" rather than "when I can edit".

Combined: "Why buy a registry tweak instead of editing..." rather than "Why pay for a registry tweak when I can edit..."

Thank you for this excellent tip, gwyneth.

Your tip has just been implemented:

Why buy a registry tweak wizard instead of editing the registry myself?

Now, if you have a need for a particular registry tweak wizard or other single-function system enhancement, just let me know...

Let's streamline a little more:

Why buy our registry wizard instead of tweaking it yourself?

Subsidiary point, that if you know enough to do it yourself, you'll understand why it's (name of program) worth it.
