    I`ve not seen the old site - but the design on this one does not catch my attention - its to bland. The second graphic also freaked me out.
    As nhgnikole stated - "Best Viewed by" is not very appealing.

    I didn`t see the brain graphic that freaked everyone out. Just as well I suppose.I really like how you implemented the `try it free` button on the landing page. It is a very strong call to action and I would wager you have a good click through rate for it. However, there is a critical disconnect on the following page. It just wasn`t obvious to me that these were interactive forums; or what my options were. I suppose the easiest way for you to fix this would be to change the hyperlinks for each form to underlined blue.

    Thanks for the comments.
    The burning question I have is "Is the starter price right?".  $3.85 per month.  The price of a happy meal.  For the price of a happy meal, folks can customize business forms like invoices, quotes, and work orders with logos and convert them to pdf and download them. 
    Is that worth a happy meal a month?  Feed back is greatly appreciated.

    I don`t know if the price is right or not. I can recommend a great [ but hefty ] pricing book if you`re interested.
    How did you come up with this price? Is it arbitrary? Is it based on some rational assessment of your costs? Price is not the same cost.

    Pricing:
    We looked at similar offerings (feature set and price) on the internet.  We then compared our offering and discounted based on features we didn`t have.  Finally we looked at our cost and set a reasonable return objective.
    We wanted to enable people to create an account without entering a credit card.  Billing only happens when 1) account has been used to save forms and 2) a new month starts.  My friends and I have at least one happy meal a week and hit Starbucks every other day.  Our objective was to provide basic back office services for the price of a happy meal. Thus the price.  We`ve got some folks using it but not what we thought.  We are putting some web trending in place to see what the conversion rate is.

    Interesting. I`m not sure what so say about your pricing method. It sounds reasonable but I cannot imagine that this is going to produce any significant revenue unless you really hit some big numbers. The site itself isn`t bad but it could use better copywriting, perhaps a better communication strategy. At any rate, keeping the discussion on pricing, I think your price is reasonable assuming you can make the numbers needed to hit revenue targets.
