haahaa. Just implemented something like that on my project - http://classroom.ng http://classroom.ng ... I guess the rationale is 1. that the login is the less desired task at the moment. A true user will always look for that button no matter how small 2. but making it bigger could distract signups ;-) 3. Plus most of the time, after signing up, a user lands within the product or given a link direct to login where the user gets hooked (hopefully), taking us back to reason 1.

While I agree with your reasoning, it's still best to make it easy for users to find what they need to locate. On your site, changing the login and forgot password links to white helps them stand out better against the background. Example: https://imgur.com/ATcpp8k https://imgur.com/ATcpp8k

Sorry, but your logic is flawed and you're making a mistake. There's no good reason to consciously reduce the user experience for one class of user over another. It's baffling to me. You think your user's are going to be loyal to you ("true user") even when you're not loyal to them? Very strange.

This almost makes it sound like you wouldn't mind users who have an account creating a new account each time instead of logging in, because that would increase the number of sign ups. I don't think you actually mean that, but the idea came to mind, after a more vague feeling did. To say that sign ups are more important than ability to log in, to me, feels like the quality of the product has lower priority than sign up metrics. Like, if you care more about how many people sign up, than about how many people actually use it (even once), then it seems like the product isn't being made to be used, but rather for some other purpose.

You have a 918kb background image. You use 3 different fonts including something that looks like comic sans. You have steel blue text on a black background... Ugh! What did your visitors do to you in a previous life?

Off topic but how'd you @hienyimba get your "People in [my city]..." to work?
