We are going to announce a new product launch soon (TargetProcess3) and created a splash page for this purpose.<p>TargetProcess is a 6 y.o. project management tool, but this new release is a 100% re-designed UX in fact.<p>I wonder whether this splash really works. Does it have any intrigue? Does it have enough information to explain benefits and wow-features?<p>I'd love to hear your thoughts.<p>Link: http://targetprocess.com/3
I've taken a look at target process before when I was evaluating pm software.<p>I don't think this splash page works. It feels too much like a powerpoint deck with all that text on the second "screen" that I just skipped over.<p>I didn't even notice the blue dots were clickable on the third section and frankly, the image is so small and hard to read/understand, that even after clicking on each dot I felt overwhelmed. Just clicking on all those dots is tedious.<p>Just give me the highlights. The best features up close and personal. Leave the rest to a more section without screenshots.
Not having the usual control of the scroll is annoying, unless I really needed to check the page I would quit after a few seconds there. On the first section of the page I can see a big screenshot, that makes me want to scroll down and see it in more detail and then I get the animation with the five lines of growing text, I really dislike this. I got disappointed by not being able to scroll to the image, then I got annoyed at the text animations and finally scared by the really big type. Also, I did not get anything from those lines of text.<p>The app seems really nice from the screenshot but I have no idea why I should give it a try. I understand this might be aimed at current users so my opinion does not matter much here.<p>I know they say being bold is good but this might be too much. On the positive side, there are some good ideas there and the app does look great. Given this, I would probably showcase small bits of the app and why these are important. The app looks great, use it instead of eye candy!
I didn't like the screen shot at the bottom of the first page. I figured I could see what the app looked like, but instead it kicked me over to a slide where each line has a transition. I would normally leave after I realize that the screenshot only shows the top ~100 pixels of the app.
Overall, I like the look. However, the second 'page' is really quite irritating, because i had to wait for all of the text to appear, get highlighted, etc... I scrolled right past it at first, and only recognized it later. If you really want people to get that information, maybe you could make it appear as you scrolled so it is impossible to miss.
