There's also the Stack Overflow method for first-time users: no sign-up at all. Let them use the site anonymously but fully, and register at their leisure. I'm using that for a current project.
- kasraeg 15y agoI agree. that'll give first time users a full description of the site in a more detailed way than any landing page could ever do.
- beaumartinez 15y ago> No sign-up at all. Let them use the site anonymously but fully Not any more. To post a question, a comment, or vote, you have to sign up.
- karterk 15y agoYes, that's actually a very powerful "feature". I tried that approach for a simple app I wrote: http://scribble.wreally.com/ http://scribble.wreally.com/ It works totally offline, and if and when you are ready to sync, it takes the locally stored stuff online. For bonus points, it continues to work offline too! :) Scribble users totally love it. BUT - it really increases the amount of effort and complexity involved.
