| Very nice clean design, though I was confused as to if the banner at the top was an ad for another company, or if that was explaining your service, as it of course was listing for Lydia.com with the tagline 'what do you want to learn today'. I suggest that a big banner add there won't do as much for you as describing your service. That brings me to the second point. You've got all the tutorials nicely lined up at the top of the page, but no real navigation with the exception of the search box. No description of your service until below the fold. Personally, for a start-up, I'd like to see a description at the top of the page. Your description says 'Think Tutorial is a database of simple...'. I wouldn't use the word database as that is a technical description of how you're built. You want to give the user the reason for why you exist, not what you are. Having the bebo stuff on the front-page doesn't make much sense to most people unless you are in an area where bebo is popular (I have no idea where that is) based on your tag cloud, I think you would be better off with microsoft excel or some tutorials like that. I think the microsoft office icons are more recognizable than the bebo. |
UPDATE: We removed the most recent post from the front page and currently the page are loaded by rand() every time you reload the page, to show a more diverse set of tutorials.
