Design: Clearly "inspired" by Basecamp. It's fine for proving the concept, but will have to change once you've ganed some traction.
I'm not sure if the language dropdown is supposed to work. It doesn't work for me on the iPhone. You shouldn't care about this at all, just a note.
The design polish is a huge plus. It looks nice all around, something I don't often see with projects like this. I think it could use a touch of UI polish, but it honestly doesn't matter at this phase.
Product: Seems OK. Your core issue is solving the chicken/egg problem. You need to convince freelancers to join without jobs and you need to convince people with jobs to join without translators. In that light, features like forums seem like massive scope creep. Forums don't get you any closer to getting traction. That should be your sole goal at this point.
Marketing: The value prop isn't super clear to me. You're not effectively answering the question "Why do I need this?" and "Why do I need you, over the other guy?"
Overall decent job. Keep up the hard work.
- csytan 17y agoYes, I have to admit the front page design is very inspired by the 37signals website. I've been experimenting with adwords with no conversions, so I wanted to try some other ideas. You're right though, I will absolutely be changing it later :) Thanks for the feedback
- suckafree 17y agoI'd look at what JustAnswers.com is doing. They seem like a good fit in terms of what you're trying to accomplish with building a marketplace for translation.
