Though I like pretty graphics not less than other dude, in this case I advise to wait before hiring a designer. If you were doing an application whose use pattern is clear and firmly known, if everything is basically in there, then sure, add a layer of polish! But as far as I can see, this is not yet the case.
Maybe you'll have to redo your application several times before it takes its final form, and the buttons will change. It'll be better if sunken cost of design work not make you hesitate tweaking your app. After all, I think if your service will be of use, people will use it without any graphics. Look i.e. at tarsnap: it was launched and went to profit with very minimalistic, text-only, non-friendly website.
Whom is your site aimed at? SEO professionals? Nice graphics is not essential for them, I guess. So far it's not clear to me what value your site brings them. So far I see only that it displays whois and search engine info in one place. Nice, but probably not enough to pay for. Have I overlooked something?
Anyway, I'll show your app to my younger brother, who is SEO guy, tomorrow. It'll be interesting to know what he'll say.
Can I have your email, please, so we can better get in touch?
- middayc 17y agoI am iterating the whole thing as you say and one benefit of me doing the graphics also is that I can redo it quickly without cost or complications. And I did it several times already, mostly trying to get the message across better. No, S-A is not aimed specifically at SEO. As it says it's for webmasters and by that it's more general. I am aware that this is sort of a bad point because it doesn't specialize in anything, it doesn't focus on any hot topic, as SEO is for example. I offers more than it can be seen from those two screen shots. It doesn't go into extreme depths, it is focused at helping webmasters with A LOT, for example at least 30 websites. If you add just one website in, the info you get is probably not that valuable. I will be very happy to hear any feedback from your SEO brother :)
