Something like this would be very useful for her but the home page is quite intimidating, even baffling to non-techies. If they want to sell to non-techies, why would they use "apps" and "applications" throughout their homepage? Horrid copywriting. My mom runs a small optometry shop.

That's an immediate FAIL! No one writes serious apps in Flex because they feel heavy, require Flash and can't be run on multitude of devices. Not to mention, it can't be indexed by search engines.
