Recently worked on a personal project this summer and finally soft launched it with a private beta. I've created this landing page for it at:<p>http://www.dailychomp.com<p>I'd like some feedback on the landing page design and ways you think I could improve it as I've never really done landing page designs before.<p>Just want to see if others could pick out ways to improve it.<p>Thanks!
<i>edit</i> typo<p>Nice twist on not collecting email addresses into some bucket that will sit dormant for 2 years - pretty clever of you to poke twitter & facebook instead (which, I imagine, would result in more 'OMGVIRALZ' too).<p>I had actually had a very similar idea to this myself, but never got around to implementing it.<p>The design looks clean and very appealing, but why did you create it with a hashbang link approach? It doesn't <i>appear</i> to gain anything by doing that (click on the 'about' link)
The page is basically blank if JavaScript isn't available. Turning it on shows that it is only being used to populate the main content pane.<p>This is a bad design decision since (a) not everyone with JavaScript off will bother to enable it if they haven't already seen something interesting, (b) not everyone with JavaScript off can enable it, and (c) you're giving yourself this problem in exchange for no apparent benefit.<p>Your main pitch should always, always, always be visible in the broadest compatibility case - even if that means falling back on a static mockup.
Currently at work so I'm using IE8. It seems to be completely unusable. I hate thinking about it just as much as the next guy, but it's probably wise to support at least 2 versions back for IE.<p>I recommend keeping the landing much simpler and more focused. I have no idea what is trying to run when I load the page, but whatever it is probably isn't strictly necessary for the front page. Link to the more complicated stuff for those who become interested.
Looks good overall. Couple small things:
1) Show a couple more screenshots so we know what exactly it does
2) I see this a lot and it drives me nuts: DailyChomp, but the logo shows dailychomp. The logo also looks a little out of place.
3) I would give the option to collect email addresses too.<p>Lastly, and the most important... start A/B testing right now. Try testing the wording in that button first and go from there.
I think it looks pretty good. The best landing pages are the ones that simply explain the idea. Perhaps you could create a short video to let us know how it works once you launch.
You need to have a way to go back to the main site from mobile browsers. I'm on Firefox/Ubuntu and it takes me to your mobile site with no way to get back to the normal site.
