Liked the design a lot, browsed through the books, opened one and got confused about what "recording" was supposed to mean. Flipped through the end of the book, and went to the FAQ, got even more confused by the webcam requirement.
Then went back to the homepage and noticed the video. Played it and finally understood what the site is for.
Your "welcome" message should be changed to clearly state that you here to do a video recording of a bedtime story for a child when you're away.
There's a note on "you can record and preview before paying", but I wouldn't want to go through the trouble of recording and figure out at the last minute that the thing is way beyond my budget.
[edit: found the pricing on rollover, it's slow enough that it didn't show up the first time I clicked around. I would include it also on the book page]
beside that, I think it's a great idea. I read to my 4 year old son every night at bedtime, and I will definitely give astorybeforebed.com a try next time I'm on a business trip.
@cedsav - we're glad to hear you'll give it a spin. Good feedback on pricing. If you hover over the books on the bookshelf, you get more info on the book. Currently, all books recordings are $6.99 and you can watch it/share it as many times as you like.
