Rob Walling from http://www.softwarebyrob.com/ had recently posted a request for businesses to submit their site for a quick review, I submitted howsthe.com in a heart beat. I have to thank Rob again for taking the time to record the review. The video will be video embedded after the break. I want to take this time and talk about how important an outside perspective is.
I want to first go over a couple of the suggestions Rob had pointed out in the video which were just so obvious in hindsight. I will start with the quick check tool, its a great way for people to see how the service works, and it is used by many users everyday. Which is awesome, but once the user see the result of the website check there is no actionable item to help the user flow through to the sign up page. Rob has suggested that I add a workflow from the result page to the sign up section, this is just brilliant and yet so obvious. It just goes to show how important it is to get feedback from people that are not working on the product everyday.
