One minor thing - it took me about 7-10 seconds to understand what your product is. I should be able to understand within 2 seconds. You should put in big letters towards the top: "Employee Recognition Program" or something a little more sales-y.
- spencerfry 13y agoThat's good feedback. Definitely continuing to improve the message.
- MatthewB 13y agoBy the way, great URL. I'm sure you paid a pretty penny for it:)
- spencerfry 13y agoI actually bought it back in 2006-7. I was working on a local reviews site for a few months before working on Carbonmade, which was my last startup before Uncover.
- dangayle 13y agoYou made carbonmade? I still have a portfolio on there (http://dangayle.carbonmade.com/ http://dangayle.carbonmade.com/). The pricing was too steep for me to pay for the full service though. RE: url Even in 2006-2007 that domain wouldn't have been cheap. Kudos for sitting on it that long without getting ants in your pants.
- spencerfry 13y agoYeah. I was one of the co-founders/CEO for ~4 1/2 years or so. My other co-founders have since moved the company from NYC to Chicago. They're two awesome guys and doing great things.
- fredsters_s 13y agoSince most people scan left-to-right you'd probably be better putting your main headline and signup box on the left and the 'reasons' on the right. Even better would be to make the headline and strapline standalone, because at the moment the hierarchy when the user scans implies they are just relevant to that signup box, not the whole site. Great idea.
- Serow225 13y agoLeft to right would definitely help!
- colkassad 13y agoI agree, at first I thought it was a service that taught you how to roll sushi. It wasn't until I read other bits of information spread out on your page that I started to figure it out.
- ishener 13y agohehe, i also thought that about the sushi...
- jontonsoup 13y agoawesome job! Although can someone else start a company that teaches you how to make sushi...
- spencerfry 13y agoHaha. Maybe if you come by our office I'll set something up. :)
- davidcristello 13y agoI thought the same thing about sushi
- kfields 13y agoI thought it was a coffee delivery service. I must have seen a different slide first. Heh.
- benjamincburns 13y agoI got it pretty quick, but it never hurts to test, test, test!
- spencerfry 13y agoDefinitely. Now that we're seeing some traffic. Time to start some 'ol A/B tests.
- matsandre 13y ago+1
- ereckers 13y agoI'd have to agree as well. The animation introducing "Reason #8" caught my eye (which is cool), but becoming accustomed to that messaging telling me what a company does, had me thinking this was a "learn to roll sushi" service. Took me a while to shake that as I started scanning through the rest.
