:) Yeah, that's one I've debated a lot about. It came about when explaining the site to a designer who was working on the logo. It was getting wordy trying to explain the concept through text and I just ended it by saying "In other words, you don't have to be a programmer to have a kick-ass website." She latched on to it and when I got the logo back, it has the tag-line attached. I kind-of liked it, so I kept it...for now.
The funny thing is that I've had mostly great feedback from it. It makes people laugh a little and they tell me they think it's great. It's not the best marketing material for business users though, I agree.
I thought it might capture a bit of what we're trying to accomplish. To make users feel comfortable and I can imagine a lot of them saying "Why do I have to know all this programming stuff just to have X on my website?".
Thanks for the advice. I'd love to hear some other opinions on this from the HN crowd.
- Elessar 17y agoI wouldn't worry too much about the tagline. It's youthful and trendy, which I am assuming is the type of audience you want to draw into your site. Pick your public face to draw the right type of people in. Don't worry about the rest.
