I like the value prop in general and got the top level of it within 5s, would probably like to understand more about it (like ability to handle relational joins, parent/child etc). I'm not sure I felt that the value proposition was unique and differentiated from other DB wrappers; I'm not saying it isn't.

It seems the product is or was called "Magic" but that isn't really obvious until you read down the page and at first I thought it was just a term rather than a brand. Either change it everywhere or call it Magic above the fold.

I agree with Ben, the pictures of computers and code don't work for me, they make it feel more complicated and don't add value.

Thank you, we could go deeper into the details I suppose, such as joins, filtering, paging, sorting, etc (it supports all of these BTW) - Great suggestion. Thank you :)

The product started as only "Magic", then it became larger in scope and we added "cloud" - However, there's a Finish company using that name already, so to create a unique name we had to use "Aista Magic Cloud" where Aista is the company name. Which is similar to how for instance "Microsoft Office" brands itself (and others) - Adding the company name in front of some word or combination of words that are impossible to trademark, and/or have alone ...

The idea is that it's a "cloud system" doing "magic" and it's created by "aista" ...

Hmm ... :/
