Criticue Widget: Find out what visitors hate about your website
- michaelmior 11y agoLooks interesting, but I find it odd that the site itself doesn't have the widget available.
- bilus 11y agoThis is a fantastic point -- thank you. It's just it's not ready yet. I'm working on making it compatible with IE. Once it's usable, I'll definitely use it on the website.
- will_pseudonym 11y agoAs someone who is constantly baffled at many UX choices made by the makers of nearly every piece of software I use, I like the idea a lot. I'm looking forward to using the service. And I do have a small couple critique of an aspect of your website. ;) If you could get rid of the two input boxes after I've submitted my invitation request, that would make it more clear that the submission was successful. After I hit Submit, I did not immediately see the message below. If the two boxes were gone, I would have immediately seen that message.
- bilus 11y agoThanks for the feedback! Good point about the form -- I'm on it right away.
- pedybr2 11y agoHow does this compare with similar products on the market, like Usabilla and Qualaroo?
- jameshart 11y agoIts name is not based on the name of a music festival, so that at least helps it stand out in the market. Or maybe it should have gone with the flow and called itself critipalooza?
- bilus 11y agolol ;)
- bilus 11y agoThe main idea is to make it as simple as possible. So no surveys (at least at this point) etc. As a visitor, just type in a comment, maybe highlight a part of the website and submit it. As the webmaster, you see feedbacks received from users.
- jameshart 11y agoNice landing page. One copyedit: "Why my visitors go away?" sounds like sad Hulk. "Why do my visitors go away?" is better, or maybe adopt the funnel-speak of the growth hackers you're trying to attract and go with "Why do visitors abandon my site?"
- bilus 11y agoGood point, thanks! I went too far when trying to shorten everything as much as possible.
- aberatiu 11y agoHeads up! When clicking the logo, a "Not Found" page is shown.
- bilus 11y agoThanks, pushing the change right away.
- lerxst 11y agoIt's good that they have the 'Give feedback' button at the bottom of the page in a rather unobtrusive manner. Often times, I go to a website for a large company and before I can even do anything on the site, they ask for feedback in an obtrusive popup.
- bilus 11y agoThanks! I also hate flashy popups and stuff like that when I'm browsing a website. I hope that giving users a way to quickly send feedback while they're on a page will not only help owners improve the website but also create a sense of participation for visitors. Maybe not on the level of Wikipedia but in a small way you can also contribute.

- bilus 11y agoOh, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for pointing that out and fixing the problem.
- jaxomlotus 11y agoI really like that you specifically spell out how many emails the user will receive next to the registration form. That's a nice and explicit upfront "user promise" that I think will make people trust you more. You may wish to allow for some kind of opt-in for future emails in the second and final email you promise to send. That way you can continue to email those people who do wish to learn more going forwards. Great service and idea - good luck with it!
- bilus 11y agoThank you!
