4 clicks just to get the form? I don't think so...
3 comments

I don't like the verbage here. I would Just say: Click on the page to go ahead. The "It's Worth it" is a turn off to me. I agree with set028 that 4 clicks to the bottom is way to much.

Instead maybe you could do something like this: 1. Have your logo and tag line at the top 2. In the center put your messaging and have the user either click it to scroll to the next message or do it automatically ever N seconds 3. Have the sign up at the bottom i.e. make it fit on a 1024x768 screen so that the user always sees your company name and how to sign up.

Hope that makes sense

You're right, it's better without "It's worth it". Your idea is nice and you're also right about the logo because if you see the page for the first time you don't understand what it is about. But this is part of the "I want to know more about it" effect, even if I agree with you that the logo should be visible. It's just that in the page as it is now I don't know where to place it.
Okay, but at least is something different. It's not just for getting to the form, we thought it would have been nicer than the other landing pages because you don't need a lot of time to get to the last "slide".

What do you think?

I agree too.. after 2 clicks if I still dun get it, I leave. Suggest you put in your form after the 2rd click.
Mmm... But with just 2 slides you don't understand much. It's also true that it already leaves you some questions because we didn't want to say almost anything about Dayri and how it works.
People use to say that about Twitter.. How much can we say in 144 characters... :P
