| It all starts with the heading: The font makes it really hard to read. I actually have to concentrate to find out what is written in the heading. And honestly, I wanted to stop reading after the first paragraph: An ad hoc (ok?) perpetually (uhm...) published online journal of publication-worthy (oh dear...) essays written by a global community of (egotistical) (omg...) undergraduate International Relations students (wtf..) to act as a platform for the dissemination of and discourse on (what?!) ... I mean, the writing is good. But not for web pages. And especially not for the first paragraph. There are so many foreign words in this, that it seems like you just tried to link as many words together as you can. Simplify this first paragraph! Make it less "complex". Also the paper listings all look the same. The image caught my attention at first, but then I realized that every paper has that image. Why is it so big, then, if I can't use it do distinguish the papers? There is also nowhere mentioned what benefits I get when registering. The site does look pretty simple, but I think this is too simple. There should be at least some structuring elements and something to make the papers more appealing. Besides that it is an interesting idea though. After reading the topics they quite caught my attention :) |
I appreciate all your points and I'll look into them!
