1) I know they don't need my email in order to analyze my site, so I am immediately suspicious. There is no checkbox for agreement with a privacy policy, nor is there language stating I will never be spammed, etc. Thus, I did not try the demo.
2) If they really do demand my email address to try their service, they should let me see a screenshot, at least, so I can get a sense of whether or not I want to risk giving them my email address.
I think that this errs on the side of giving too little information to make an informed choice about wanting to use their service. There are many sites that will, without requiring an email address, do some basic SEO analysis for me. Without knowing what their site does, I was not enthusiastic enough to actually try their product.
- zippykid 16y agoHi Carbocation, Great feedback, I really appreciate it. We're using the email address so you can come back later and view reports you've run in the past. I've changed the copy a little to make that clear. I'm still new to layout/jquery etc so I'll have the screenshot up in a few hours based on the feedback of other posters.
- carbocation 16y agoGreat! Also, I didn't mean for my negativity to be personally directed, but I did want to give you the full 'benefit' of my as-negative-as-possible interpretation of uncertainty. It's great that you're iterating so quickly, by the way!
- zippykid 16y agoI didn't take it personally :). We're small and don't have a proper QA / userbase to test against. I really appreciate it :)
