As a game researcher, I'd like some more idea about what the supported games are, why they increase engagement, why I need Reputely rather than doing it myself. What do you know about games that I (as a visitor) don't? "Hey, those StackOverflow guys did it, right? It's easy, just slap images on people's accounts, right?"
The other thing that pings with me is that it is not clear to visitors that your idea doesn't put the cart before the horse. If I was fresh to the idea, I might say "But wouldn't I need a community for those numbers to matter?" I personally think it's a relationship where it helps communities build (not on it's own, mind you!), and that should be pushed somewhere.
Your copy uses the word "addicting." Be careful with this word, I know it's more common in the US, but it's fairly alien to other English speakers, for whom it looks like you have misspelt "addictive." [1]
Why do I need to give you my email address so I can see your games mechanics white paper? Why is it in PDF format? Why is this not a prominent, accessible web page?
EDIT: Also agreed with everyone saying the cycling is way too fast.

It's easy, just slap images on people's accounts, right?" -- The fact that it is no where near as simple as slapping some images or badges on someone's account is what makes Reputely worthwhile. While you, as a game researcher, are well aware of the intricacies of game design, most web developers and especially consumers, are clueless. Reputely is here to provide a standard to guide them in the right direction.
- Lewisham 16y agoThis is what I was trying to get at with my quote. The quotes were supposed to be naïve visitors, perhaps I did not make that as clear as I should. Sorry! ;)
