The simplicity of the distrokid landing page makes me weirdly happy:
* Clear headline right under the logo that explains the service.
* Dead ass simple call to action where you'd expect it.
* Clear benefits listed next to form.
* Complete explanation of the service & FAQ on the page.
* Social proof from solid brands.
The style isn't "gorgeous" and it doesn't follow best practices necessarily - maybe too much info, not enough contrast, not enough focus on the call to action, etc but for some reason it's jumping out at me.
Just feels honest and straightforward which is easy to over think / over-design.
- rmason 13y agoYes and it was built with Railo, open source CFML
- TelmoMenezes 13y agoThere's something very honest and almost nostalgic about it. It contrasts with all the startup sites that follow the latest design fashion down to the t. This is real simplicity -- no gimmicks.
- nekopa 13y agoI was just happy that it loaded quickly and with no problems. I'm on an iPad 1, and more and more sites nowadays either take forever to load, or flat out crash iOS safari.
- goblin89 13y agoThat was my impression as well. I've actually signed up and found the main interface beautifully simple, too. By trying to post this on Reddit, though, I've discovered a surprisingly negative comment that also seems to have a point: http://www.reddit.com/r/WeAreTheMusicMakers/comments/1o1abq/heres_why_i_made_a_site_where_you_can_upload/cco3vyv http://www.reddit.com/r/WeAreTheMusicMakers/comments/1o1abq/...
- chrisweekly 13y agoThat negative reddit comment had a point that doesn't fairly apply. Read the responses, they address all of its concerns.
- goblin89 13y agoI am following the discussion, most of my doubts were resolved.
