Ask HN: Help us decide a landing page.

None of them? I like 1 the best, but it still needs work. Try this for ideas: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2011/09/01/elements-of-a-vir...

Thanks for the links. Found the Qura page really helpful in communicating ideas across.
I think 1 and 2 are better than 3. I would recommend using just the "above the fold" from 2 which has the simplicity of 1 while retaining a short/clear description of what it is that you actually provide. This way your call to action of "Take the Tour" will be even clearer. Assuming that is what you want your site visitors to do first.
Thanks! We found 2 to be a bit cluttered overall because it's text heavy. Keeping 2 till fold sounds great.
Why ask us? Just split test and let the users decide.
I think I would like to combine #1 and #2, though, if I had to choose without user data. I think that's because #1 is very simple and elegant but #2 does better at drawing attention to the call to action.

Thanks we were completely confused going by our own tastes. Finally, we found http://usertesting.com/ to be very helpful here.
Definitely Number 2. Though I was looking for a list of benefits to me. What clients are saying section wasn't too helpful - would rather read benefits to complete my decision. Real nice design.
Thanks. We're working on to make our copy clearer.
Definitely Number 2. But needs a little face lift and reducing text load.

We've been building a mobile-web based product for restaurants past 2 months. But we've found ourselves quarreling over design of our landing page. Not everyone on team has a taste for good design. So, we're stuck debating over this.

I personally have dabbled a lot trying to be a good designer once. I love the work done by our designer in 1 and 2. But we got (I don't know whats up) very bad feedbacks on 1 and 2 from our sales and investor. They prefer 3 !!
Democracy is a wrong way we're following here ( http://goo.gl/I7xzb ), but I'm exhausted fighting for 1 and 2. I didn't expect so much of corporate style slow decision making in a startup though.
Among those 3, what do you think is the best design to go for ?
Thanks in advance.
