On the front page, I tried to click on the screenshot (the one to the left of "Public Statistics") and was dismayed when I discovered I could not make it bigger.
The copy under "Track Visitors without Javascript" (is that lowercase w correct?) is unprofessional-sounding and unclear: What exactly is the difference in the data I get from non-Javascript users?
Under the "About" link up top, "your sites visitors" should be "your site's visitors".
At the bottom of the "Help" page (which might more accurately be termed "FAQ") is the only mention in the entire site that the service is free, which is something I'd like to have known earlier.
Is "Unique" the best term for one-time visitors? It's usually used to mean the total number of different users on a site.
The signup page is very very slick-- how'd you make it? One thing I'd note is that making the user enter a domain and site at signup is an unnecessary barrier. I entered fake data to get around it because I wasn't ready to commit to anything, but others may not be willing to work around.
Overall, the design of the site is excellent, readable, professional, and pretty. The AJAX stuff works beautifully in Chrome.
I may be taking responsibility for an amateur radio group website soon, and if I do, I'll be using SimpleStats to track my visitors' activity. It looks like just what I need.
- alanedwardes 17y agoI appreciate your feedback. I'll definitely improve the home page, and make the various grammar mistakes that I've made. I did have my doubts about the term "Unique", perhaps simply "New" would be a more accurate label. Thanks :)
