| This is probably going to be a common sentiment - But the signup is an issue - I think people are getting increasingly intolerant of the signup/confirm email hassle... Especially now that there are sites that do it so well. This system required 1. entering your details, 2. getting a confirm email, 3. selecting a password and 4. logging in again after setting the password. That last step is bad enough, but even without that it's still too many. The barrier to entry a lot lower (i.e. 1 step) if you considered supporting OpenID - as well as streamlining the existing process. The style is fairly minimal, which is good, but this rendition is not really to my taste. To be honest, for me it was reminiscent of the "Microsoft ASP Verdana everywhere" style from the Office 2000 era. Functionality wise - Well - Not sure. I wasn't sure what I was meant to do. I think the design doesn't really take you through the site. What do you see as the main use case? you should really explain these to the user and prompt them as well (e.g. You haven't entered a Profile yet - entering a Profile lets you XYZ). I did have a click around. Not sure what environment you're running with, but it was a little slow (I'm overseas, so that might be a factor). Either way, for that kind of functionality an AJAX model would help a lot. So... Yeah... Not really sure :) I think it needs a more fleshing out. |
