I think it's fucking gorgeous.
On what could be improved:
-Too much text in the lower left. You can use less characters and communicate the same thing better. Such as...
-'Leave your email and we'll let you know when Shoutt arives' change to 'Request a beta invite' and change from 14px to 18-20px. Alternately, remove this text entirely and change button text from 'Submit' to 'Request Invite'.
-Logo could use a bit more spice
-Where you say 'what do you want to shoutt about', I'd use your logo in place of 'shoutt'
-'an app for you and your campus' can be moved under the logo and put it on one line instead of two. Alternately you can move 'Exclusively at Stanford University' under the logo.
-Make the button and email form a bit smaller in relation to everything else. And consider something with a more low-key/elegant look, like rounded corners and with effects when the cursor is in the box: see Bootstrap forms. I'd also change the placeholder text to a more low-key font color, same with the button color. It shouldn't draw so much attention (at least not if it says 'Submit' if it says 'Request Invite' drawing attention is good).
Just incremental improvements, everything looks great as is. Feel free to email me if you want to follow up or for future feedback.
Good luck!
- mansigandhi 14y agoHi Wilfra. Awesome! Thanks for the feedback...really useful. We've changed the "Leave your email..." to "Request a beta invite". And we made the fonts slightly low-key. We'll look into the other changes for the layout and incorporate them.
- NaOH 14y agoTwo minor tweaks. As long as "An app for you and your campus" is going to be split across two lines, change where the line break is. I'd suggest "An app [line break] for you and your campus." This brings greater emphasis to the idea of "you and your campus," plus it makes that line and everything which follows (beta invite, exclusively at Stanford, and what do you want) increasingly long (left to right), helping the eye move through that part of the page. Edit: I should add, though I'm seeing it after some other folks have suggested tweaks, I think it looks fantastic. Well done.
- mansigandhi 14y agoGreat point. We split it now to be An app for you. And your campus. Looks good?
- NaOH 14y agoYes, I do think the revised line break looks good. One other idea: I wonder if removing the periods after "campus," "invite" and "University" might look better. My thinking is two-fold: One, they seem to catch my eye a little. That's not a big deal, really, but I wonder if removing them will make the map points more attractive since they would then be the only period-like character on the page. Maybe try it and see what you think. It may look off to you when implemented, maybe not. Obviously, this is just a stylistic suggestion, so go with whichever you think is more attractive.
- mansigandhi 14y agoYeah NaOH. We removed the ones after "invite" and "University" and this looks better. Thanks!
