Even if this app IS something interesting, nothing makes me want to sign up.
Here's why:
I think your landing page copy needs some work. Immediately when I see create your own private network, I am thinking VPN. "Socialise in groups," to me seems ambiguous, isn't socializing an inherent group activity.
In terms of design, there is low visual affordance. I am not enticed to roll over those icons, or click on the sign up button. I think "Create your own network now" is a good call to action, should be more prominant and should be followed up with a start now link or something, or get started, something to encourage the user a bit. "Sample network" shouldn't be directly next to "Create Network", it confuses what action should be taken. Sample network shouldn't be a button, just a plain link. Also that blue is far from harmonious with the rest of the color scheme you have working. The text below the icons needs more contrast with the background.
I want to see a screenshot / screencast to show me what I am getting. I still can't imagine what this thing even is.
- mdoyle 16y agoThanks for the feedback. The most common aspect about all the feedback posted so far is the understanding of the concept. It is clear to us that we need to review the homepage and the message the product communicates, and the placement or function of images or buttons. We never thought there would be comparisons to VPN's.

- mdoyle 16y agoHi, thanks for taking the time to do this! I would agree with you and we'll consider it. It's great to get the feedback, thanks.
