The animation apparently only starts when I hover/move my mouse, so I was waiting for a while for nothing to happen.
The background image(s) are quite heavy.
The text is way too small for me to read.
Here's an old principle: Make your front page clearly state what the heck is going on. For example, going to https://www.fsf.org/ you get the very first sentence below the menu: "The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is a nonprofit with a worldwide mission to promote computer user freedom." Or going to https://monta.com/ (a random startup) you get a UI screenshot, a call-to-action button and the first sentence: "Monta is the operating platform powering the EV ecosystem serving drivers, companies, cities, and the electricity grid with one integrated software solution."
You have so many pixels, why do I need to click "Read more" when I could be reading more right away? I am here to sign up, but there's no pitch.
duly noted good sir thank you for the feedback I shall iterate
Solid advice! I'll try 150ms thanks :)
From a design view-point, remember: less is more. As others here have commented, the UI has a lot of unnecessary details and effects that take away from the overall professionalism of the site.
Try focusing on the bare minimum, and go from there. For example, less animations (even though they're cool), getting rid of that white box glow, and a bigger font, can go a long way.
Remember who your target audience is, and design for the broadest group possible in that audience. Keep it simple, and intuitive, and with a hint of magic.
Good luck!
I went through your blog post and I like your idea. Would love to see further iterations with the page and product
The big X is a holdover from when I was first testing it. I should get rid of that. The <input>s are unstyled I can change that!
Thank you so much
The background images took ages to load (I’m assuming they’re massive, I’m on 4g). The image didn’t complete loading before switching.
Swiping down brought up a modal, but it didn’t load correct, and it didn’t seem to yet any content beyond a vinyl logo?
This is like a commit message not a comment :X
But really I don't know how to express my gratitude I'm over the moon :D
I will say though, to me personally it looks very simplistic. For example, the button and the textbox appear to have no styling. Also I don't understand why there's an X in the top-right corner which repeats the intro animation.
Thanks for positive feedback, someone gets what I was going for :p
The "X" to close the "popup" is pretty subtle. But there doesn't seem to be any point to closing it, is there?
idk how to fix this it's literally a plain <form> and <input> no javascript weirdness or anything hmmm
(firefox / ubuntu). so I'm sorry to say 'no' ;)
