Simon was the guy who gave me the tour.

* Tally feature to check guests in, correlate to web list after event.
.. A4 Pages of guests to cross out via pen 0-200 guests
.. Barcode scanner db 200+ guests (-idea- maybe an iPhone app with db sync?)
.
* Generate tickets and ticket address labels
.. Customers can print out their own voucher perhaps?
The other features we are hesitating on because we aren't convinced that people really need them. Doing less, but doing it significantly better is what we are aiming at. We realize that we will not be getting the really large events to move to us, but they are not our target market. We are aiming for the smaller events that don't have professional planners that take care of everything.
That said, we have a list of features that we think we need to add. We plan to add most of them before we exit beta. Features on our list include a public attendee list, ability to ask for custom information per attendee, and uploading of custom background images for events.
Your landing page let's me know what the app does, how much it costs (kind of) and the benefits to me of using it. Building on that last point, the only thing I'd consider changing is renaming "Manage your event" to "Why use guestlist" and listing the benefits in a bullet list.
Well done on a great design and landing page. Good luck with it
I'm very impressed with everything I've seen so far. I played around with it as much as I could, stopping short of making any actual payments, and it all looks great.
Best of luck!
P.S. I'd also be interested in hearing about what tools you used, particularly on the front end.
Edit: just remembered one tiny thing that bugged me: I couldn't immediately figure out what the "Quantity" field referred to. I thought it might mean that tickets could be sold in sets. Maybe you could fit in a less ambiguous description like "Number of tickets for sale".
As an aside, my site, launchly has just started offering free web startup launches again today so if you wanted to list it there for some additional feedback and exposure we'd be glad to have you. http://www.launchly.com
Once I did those things I like the step-by-step flow of filling out details of my event.
Sites like eventbrite have endless options, but I find that I do not use most of them. When I need to find something it is usually hidden, but this is not the case.
Beautiful and simple design with a quality backend usually work best.
Great job and best of luck with this!
But it can use a more testing.
* I created a test event and tried to add attendees, but pressing the button doesn't do anything.
* The signup/login page could use a link to the main page. I pressed login instead of signup and the only way to get out of that page is to hit the browser's back button.
One thing I'd think about in terms of increasing conversions would be to allow people to test drive the process of Creating An Event without the need to set up an account. You can always gather that info later on in the process.
