Cool project & a good concept I think works well for the people you are targeting.
Notes:
- Front page is tough to understand. Feel like you need a block clearly outlining the concept right at the top, and then jumping to the current projects. You've done great work with other illustrations on the site, why not a visual flow of the junto process (unless I missed it)?
- When I first saw the funding amount, it felt like kickstarter (not sure if that's a good or bad thing for you? :) )
- Project pages are really nice and clear, well done.
- I like seeing faces for projects, gives it more credibility, but what about your team?
- Recent commenters, gravatar?
As for the primary concern, tough one. Don't think there's any easy/cheap way to acquire a ton of users so early on. Think you'll just need to bridge the gap with your gut feeling till it gains more traction.
Good luck, really like the idea!
- marcymarcy 15y agoHey Noel! Yeah, our front page has come a long way but if it's still unclear what our mission is (it's a complicated one, I admit), that's a problem. There used to be a visual sequence on the About page but perhaps we need to bring that back in. Re: funding... yup, we have had a problem where people think we provide funding as a solo feature, or that funding is our primary feature... and not true. Troy from Excelerate Labs was great to point that out and work with us on it, but if it still appears to be a primary feature then that's a problem. Eventually crowdfunding might have more of our spotlight but not until our community is of a certain size/interaction level. Team info is at http://thejun.to/about http://thejun.to/about (tab on right says Meet Junto Team) but could be easier to find (other than that, it's only in the footer.) Everything else – noted! thanks!
