If you missed out on my previous posts and tweets, a little recap: along with a few friends, I’ve been designing and building a new, web-based writing tool called WriteMinds. We’re hoping to have a beta up and running by the early part of March, and we just locked down the actual nuts and bolts of how the application will look.
I can’t tell you how excited I am about this. I want to share everything about it, and I will be doing so in time.
In the meantime, friends, can I have your feedback on our homepage design? My talented and wonderful friend/business partner Kevin Panke designed it from my rather sparse wireframe, and it’s meant to get people to do one thing: sign up. At this point in the development process, I’ve obscured what the app looks like (that’s actually a wireframe in there anyway, so…), but imagine that area shows off a revolving show of the coolest features in the app. It may even be a video. Just imagine that it’s the sexiest, quietest writing interface you’ve ever seen. Trust me—it is.
With that said, what are your thoughts?
- Is it clear what you’re supposed to do, as a user?
- Does the copy resonate?
- Are we missing anything?
