Author Website Review
#<Person:0xb5a2a82c> #<Website:0xb5a29ea4> I like the notion of this site, the intent of it. I think there is a lot to be desired about how the architecture was handled. For example, this is a community focused site (its only as good of a service because of the users who contribute), yet there is no space given on the home page to promote the users who contribute. I also noticed the typeface, and that is not a good a thing. A good typeface won't stick out or be noticeable. It will be elegant and blend in. I couldn't help but see my peers comment on it too " I can't live with that font though. The lowercase e bothers me." "ug, that font hurts my sensibilities" "I'm with you guys on the font. It makes me feel like I should be buying perfume...or ice cream. It's...off." "yeah, the rest of the style looks ok to me" "yes. Definitely just the font." I would consider changing the typeface. The key text on the home page uses the phrase "usability enthusiast" yet I don't know anyone who would call themselves that but job title or as a descriptive phrase. I would say "usability specialists" or something more common place. Lastly, I am noticing several technical issues with the site.. its slow at responding to HTTP requests and pretty much any link associated with the job board, bet it in the primary nav or in the main content on the home page, throws a system error for some reason. Not good. With some of these improvements and more this site could be a very successful and thriving community but you need to be able to eat your own dog food. We've all had to receive constructive criticism at one point or another, myself included.. I am by no means perfect. I hope you found this useful and I hope the site grows into something amazing, it has a lot of potential. Show Edit Destroy
