Is this easy to use? Your goal is to open a new savings account. http://www.mybanktracker.com/savings http://www.mybanktracker.com/savings We just launched our new style of rate tables, but we need more testing. It would be great to have your opinion.

Clicked on link out of curiosity. Immediately lost interest upon discovering it's US-only.

  Sorry about that. There's a good chance we'll never go outside of the US. I'm really looking for anyone's feedback on HN, if you care to comment!

The first thought that hit me when I opened the link is that I don't know where to look. I was searching for the product. Then I found it after looking at the bottom half of my browser . Three different horizontal menus and one huge ad banner seem to be taking a lot of space. FYI Screen Resolution 1366x768 Once I actually scrolled down a bit and started using the sliders I got it directly. Very easy to use, great job on this. Another note is the "In the news" section has news from 6 months ago. It's not a big deal but doesn't look that good.

  Thanks for the feedback. I completely agree. The top part of the site is something we're trying to shrink. Especially since a good part of our audience have smaller resolution screens.

So, i agree that the page is a little busy. Maybe I'm dense, but the "Cash to Save" was ambiguous and couldn't decide if you meant "The end amount of cash I'd like to have after X months" or "How much I have now that I can move to this account". On the "Learn More" page after clicking a bank, the slider occasionally mis-renders. (The handle will render under the textbox which requests my deposit amount.) This is usually if I max out the Cash slider on the first step. (OS X 10.6.8, Chrome 14) This seems pretty straight-forward to me. And pretty helpful. I think you're moving in the right direction.

  This is great feedback Mike. The "Learn More" page was built a long time ago, and I forgot that it uses the value from the slider from the previous page. I'll fix that today when I launch it on the CD rates page. Thank you very much!
