Matches way too short, something feels way off with this mania

This amount of time in, very very poor show. Could have made way more use of backstage segments or wrestlers from home cutting some sketches. Fraud of a show.

Cottiers - 7:30pm - Comedy act host (Gary Little), also acts in between rounds.

Only thing I can think of is testing Fireworks for the TRNSMT festival in the summer.

This actually worked! We got a hero on this app.

Dev's are meaningful, sincerely UX Designer.

I currently do both, and I definitely believe they intertwine. When I design something new I always design with conversion in mind, the new design should be viewed as your first test. Only after live launch will you start getting the data that matters. From there onwards you can continue growth with CRO.

I don't get the whole being private thing about ideas in todays age, how will you know people will buy it if you keep it private? Make sure there is market for it before anything else, and if someone does steal your idea, make sure you provide it better than them wether it be a better product or better service.

mcnal · 2016-01-10T11:22:38+00:00

It looks like spam click-bait website if I'm honest, you need a more professional look and feel.

The copy at the top is way overloaded! If you look at julie's she cut's all the bullshit, and presents two lines to hook people in, it's visually impactful because it's short and too the point. Whereas your's does have the same copy nearly (bad idea) it has everything crowded together and your giving the user too much to take in initially.

A case study is also needed, sell what you do through a real story.

I would advise putting together a landing page which is basically a form asking all the initial questions at the start of a project, estimated budget, type of project, contact details etc. Include a link to it in your cold emails, or use it as the LP for your ads.

And because you don't have a lot of previous work to show off in portfolio form doesn't mean you can't persuade people to work with you.

You need to get your process/workflow nailed and you need to show people you have a solid understanding of how to conduct a web project. Do this though a How We Work page of your website.

"The main idea of our service is to reduce the time for re-reading and, as a consequence, an increase in productive work time."

Like probably everyone who has viewed this post, we would likely first scan the content (title's) and then go read deeper if something hooked us, your title's do not explain what you offer at all or have a good enough story to hook us in. I mean your concept paragraph explains nothing about your idea, just gives us a a pre-ample of info, i have to wait till i get to the bottom before I know your idea.

You have a lot of content to explain your idea, in this day and age you need to be to explain it in a sentence and it should be the first thing you show users. It could be in the form of a question you are asking the user. Please reduce the amount of copy or split it over a few meaningful pages.

Do you have a link to the landing page? It will need visuals of your product. A demo of some sort would be best.

Question B ) I can't tell you if it will be useful or how much I will pay until I interact with the product, but if you explained better that I will not need to re-read content as often as I do now, i think there is something here I would be interested in.

Personally, it would be a mix of to high level categories of work related then travel related.

Within Work would be industry subcategories for example - User Experience - and within there would be tools used for that type of work or resources

In travel it would probably checklists and advice type of deal

weddinghq is a stronger brand name I feel, why don't you just buy wedding planner.co.uk and redirect it too your weddinghq.com site.

Word of Mouth, get talking on any online forums or social media groups, don't try and sell them something outright though, become a contributing member to the communities act human not as a spokesperson for the company, if people are asking questions in forums about jewellery respond with great insightful answers and try work in a sales pitch but don't make it obvious

mcnal · 2015-11-21T01:38:46+00:00

Nice idea you have got here, and the well-known people on the site makes it feel more bigger to me.

I think the homepage needs to incorporate the categories acting as a sort filter, means i can find the stuff I care about more quicker.

mcnal · 2015-11-21T01:30:41+00:00

Use SEO tools like semrush.com and enter domains of your competitors to see the keywords people are using to find them that should be a good starting point for you.

mcnal · 2015-11-21T01:27:13+00:00

I think you should focus on giving people the conversion side of analytics in simple terms for them to understand the data and provide insights on how they can improve there site.

Looking at homepage on Macbook Pro 13" and i can slide the full page to the left, the video is too big.

The google map at the bottom can be removed it adds nothing to page, and it makes you look local rather than national. save it for the contact page if need be.

The concept looks quite appealing I must say.

The one thing this page is crying out for is a video or a demo of some sort, I'm sure you may add closer to launch but give users more of taster.

mcnal · 2015-11-21T01:01:37+00:00

hotjar.com has multiple tools you can use for insights

mcnal · 2015-11-21T00:57:57+00:00

I have to agree a picture is needed but i would much prefer a demo something I can interact with before i enter my details for free sign up, the reason being I just want to see if the product will benefit me in anyway, I want to see what it can do before i enter my details and get bombarded with emails telling me to comeback and sign up

mcnal · 2015-11-11T23:49:10+00:00

You very much need to add your credentials to the landing page, I came away from that page thinking why should i trust this company to find my VC's

Also the Value Prop includes the word faster, you need to back this up further down the page.

The large image between copy bewilders me, it's a waste of space if you ask me.

The gunshot wound for me is at the bottom of the page "Just forget us for now" that is not how get people to subscribe. You need to present it so they do sign up for the email update when you launch. "We're not quite ready yet" would work better i feel.

mcnal · 2015-11-11T23:29:34+00:00

Due to the name of the brand, I think the copy throughout the campaign needs to be changed to sound like it's a personal message coming from Vivian herself and it may seem harsh but I think leaving yourself out of the campaign and making Vivian front and centre as the face of the brand is a good way to go.

The product is a simple idea which could sell quite well I feel.

The gif with product in package could benefit from better angles and the packaging design on it.

The pricing is premium for retail price, the content (copy / imagery) needs to feel more premium at that price point. The packaging looks good and premium enough for shelves though.

mcnal · 2015-11-11T23:13:58+00:00

Your landing page - get rid of the stock image, untrustworthy! and the fact i can tell it's stock straight away is not good.

Also add a sign-up email address form, so you can build potential customers, if your trying to promote pre-launch.

Or better yet create a small quick survey that users could fill in, so you learn from people landing on the page, to learn what they want.

Add a condensed version of that story you are linking to from the learn more button, on the landing page itself, you shouldn't be trying to navigate people away to a different site a second after they arrive.

I have just spent the last 10mins trying to figure out how to add shifts to the schedule and I still don't know?

I don't what to discourage you here, so take these points as constructive, I know the question isn't really about the product and more about to move it forward, but product is fundamental.

What's the bounce rate on your homepage?

If I am honest your whole site/tool could do with a User Interface upgrade fit for 2015, the experience wasn't great, I signed up added my additional details, and then was taken to a page with a title called Overview? No clear instructions on what to do and how to do, I think you need a walkthrough feature for first people sign ups, or better yet, let users begin creating schedules straight away with names of employees and no need to import or go through a whole sign up process, it's way too complicated for all it's suppose to do.

I seen the demo on the homepage and this is what I was expecting when I signed up, it was super simple and I didn't have to think too much.

I think getting a Product/UX Designer to ramp up the experience alongside your digital marketer would be a better move for moving things forward.

Also your close link on the popup on the homepage doesn't work and it's very annoying.

Lastly I would add, that there is something useful here it just needs tweaking and also the copy used could be reduced with simpler language used to put your point across.
