| I let it load so I didn't wait 30 seconds for my net connection. So I timed. 5: 'corky'? WTF. 14: I wanna go to paris. 20: what's this do for me? SUGGESTIONS: - 'corky way to plan a trip' -- Its corny. Its bad. It doesnt make sense. "Plan a better trip" would be better. - make it flow right. it doesn't fit right on a small screen.
http://i.imgur.com/W5GJN.png is how it looks on a netbook sized screen. - Assume your users dont know where they're going. - Put everything above the 900px fold. Most important first. - your features are NOT the most important. Look at Hipmunk: On their front page, you are asked the four pertinant questions (To, From, When {leaving,returning}). Your app tries to sell itself before a user has ever tried it. Better layout idea: "Duffel: A better way to plan" Where are you going: [________________________] When? [xx/xx/xx] New here? Take a tour >>> edit: this page is stashed in a corner. Let it sell the app: http://duffelup.com/featured |
Anyway, I agree we should show and not tell, hence the ability to create a trip without signing up. I guess that wasn't clear enough.
