Some initial thoughts:
- Not a huge fan of the "Pingdom killing" tagline in the title here. It sends a negative message that's unneeded, IMHO.
- I like the main page, but the multiple black boxes that popped up are distracting from the main content. Specifically, the "we're not here now" Contact button in the bottom-right, in addition to the Support button and the Sign Up button.
- You can't drag the scrollbar on the "Edit Check" page - it selects part of the page instead.
Other than those points, some small stuff: it doesn't say how I get notifications, the "contact us" black button obscures the "Follow Us" when you scroll to the bottom of the page, and, like bhauer mentions, the color depth seems a bit much - it's almost TO flashy.
All criticism aside: I'm still using it for my personal website :-) It looks like a good product, so keep up the good work!
- verelo 14y agoThanks for that comments! We actually meant to remove the support tag on the home page, we'll fix that!
- yukyukyuk 14y ago+1 Regarding the tagline, "Pingdom killer". I would first agree with this comment that you need to focus on users, not competitors. You're trying to communicate the experience the user will receive, not your business objectives (which should be making money...if you succeeded in getting people to stop using Pingdom but some third competitor gets all of the users then you have done all of the work but captured none of the reward) Also, you've basically given Pingdom advance notice that you intend to compete with them, so what is to stop them from copying your best ideas and capitalizing on them?
