Congrats on the pretty design. As a student of UX, I would be fascinated if you could summarize in a short braindump the UX design principles and thought processes that went into making this. You already mentioned how you think about the CTA in another comment, how about all the rest of it?

Thanks! Good suggestion. The original design framework (color scheme, font's etc) is made by someone else. That design was absolutely beautiful, but not from a conversion point of view. There were no clear CTA buttons, etc.

The past couple of weeks I've been reading a lot of great articles online, viewed a couple of inspiring TED talks and other video's, and I used that information to build the landing page.

Tomorrow I'm going to try to recap which articles I read, which video's I watched, and I'll write about it in a blogpost.

I'd like to read that. What is your blog URL?

My blog is a little bit rusty (non-existing). Tomorrow I'll put a simple blog online :) http://jorgenhorstink.nl/
