Hi All,<p>(http://www.mistrics.com/)
I made a project that helps in documenting Academic projects and sharing them with teachers. It also provides facility to ask questions. Students needs to simply create projects, after that just create task and documents under it. Also inviting others into team and so on....<p>In Indian colleges this process is all manual right now. And I am trying to get this process online.<p>I am not getting any traction so far. Any clue what's wrong with that?
So here's what I thought when I got there:<p>1. What does it do? Not immediately available from the landing page. I'd use something like "Mistrics is a powerful/simple/fast ... that ..."<p>2. The 3-word motto (pretty uninspired imo; I'd choose a phrase instead) really doesn't need to take up that valuable space.<p>3. Choose a main font; if you do feel you have to add another, justify your reasoning to do so (for instance if it were a code editor, you could use a monospace font for code samples, etc.)<p>4. What are you trying to make me do when I first get on your website? Please just let me find one central thing to look at, your value proposition, and then guide my eyes to a call-to-action. Right now, I'm looking at the log in forms, then the motto, then a very sparse description. Try having a simple textual-pictorial representation of a use-case, such as a person having to file through stacks of paper versus a person using mistrics, maybe some screenshots, and then a nice big colorful sign-up button (with just one font and text color!) right next to it.<p>5. Find a way to fit the login forms from the login page into the nav-bar and make that the main login-point. Of course, if the login fails, redirect to the login view where you can provide more information.<p>6. Some things are center-aligned, some are left-aligned. I'd choose to stick with left-aligned, since that's how English-readers read.<p>tl;dr: make sure I know what it is, and guide me in doing what it is you want me to do.
