Limited UX Testing

We have recently launched a new web application called toohoot.com - SAAS offering content management and direct linkage of content with design capabilities. Traffic is still very low and we hope to build up over the coming months. We haven't done much UX testing and my biggest concerns are: is there too much information on our home page? Are our calls to action (register) appropriate? Is there anything on the site that is a put off to visitors (UX mainly done with friends and family and have they been biased/honest in their feedback)? Feedback - positive or negative - is very welcome. Much appreciated if you could take a few minutes to have a look and comment. URL is https://toohoot.com.

many thanks in advance!

The design is all over the place. It's cramped and it's not immediately clear what the actual purpose of the site is. I was actually more confused about the tool's purpose after reading your 'Albums' page. Is this a design tool or a social platform or a file-sharing platform? It seems to want to do them all, and it's very unclear who or what the tool is for.

I'm also confused by the website templates you demonstrate. These are not responsive at all, they're dated and they have too much 'faff' about them (the GCSE tuition takes far too long to load due to content animating in). If they're demos they should work like the final versions and be responsive. And if the final versions aren't responsive, they absolutely, unquestionably, need to be.

You're competing against the likes of SquareSpace who have a seemingly endless marketing budget. What is your tool giving people that SquareSpace isn't?
 
Like Paul, I'm confused about what this tool is for.

I initially thought it was a design tool but then it seems to be site builder. And then it seems to a cloud storage thing with social sharing.

I hope to see a demo but there isn't one. The albums are pretty naff.

Every page seems to have a different layout and style. There is no support. No phone number/contact details.

I tried the draggy thing on this page: https://toohoot.com/Home/WebsiteDesign. I then resized my browser and it wasn't responsive.

I'm sure there is lots of clever code hiding in there but I'm not sure what it's for, who you are targeting and how this is any better than the zillions of other site builders. And more importantly, can I switch theme (like on wordpress), do SEO on each page, add a blog, import code and content, edit the CSS and do all the other things a CMS can do?

Note also: animation and many of the other features you offer result in a poor UX. Simple sites are far more effective.
 
Honest first opinion... I didn't know where to even start reading when I looked at the site, the right side at the top seems to have more importance than the left.

Basically it's missing an 'order' to how you should view the page, think of how you read a magazine or a website and then look at your site and you'll see it's missing this 'guidance'.

The design also feels rather dated in all honesty too.
