    neat logo, but on my laptop, those ads pushed the url input to below the page fold...

    i'd recommend the main draw to your site be visible immediately

    Many black background looks bad as the color does not match the black nicely. But this one looks nice. The logo is simple and meaningful.

    Nice work

    Hello =)

    Very nice and simple design for a proxy website and great URL, imo!

    01. When my eyes meet your page, it is immediately staring at your "Your Cloak.com" logo -- I like this! but I am looking for something more. You have the perfect banner image to have a slogan directly beneath the words "Your Cloak.com" -- something like "All that you need to be invisible!" -- or something to that effect. With this, I instantly know all I really need to know about your website!

    02. The text below browse function looks like a paragraph to me. I think it would be cool if you keep the "What is YourCloak" as well as all of text but space it up to make it easier to read (e.g):

    What is YourCloak? - All text up to and including "visit them". (linebreak)
    Then another heading: "How do you use YourCloak?" - Rest of Text, etc

    03. Your entire page is centered, but your copyright information is not. It is more appealing for it to be centered as well!

    04. Your default text in the browse bar is a URL to an image (could be something else?), and it would be nice (for me) is once I clicked inside the bar, if the text would go away so that I could start my typing immediately (done via javascript) -- but all of this is just my personal preference as usual :D

    Overall though, I really love your design! Best of luck to you and your new website!

    The black background blends everything together. Did you try different background color?
