http://avoca-1.launchrock.com/<p>Hi all, I was hoping to get some feedback on an app I wanted to build. It's a video social network called Avoca. It's supposed to combine short-form style mobile video with urls regarding practically anything.<p>It's a bit out there but the video content on other platforms doesn't seem to cater towards interests as much as it seems to be a group of people trying to do wacky things to get likes.<p>Please do let me know if you have any questions!
At first I was confused about the screenshot/mockup. I think it’s meant to show what you could be signing up to.<p>I’m not sure the in-app experience is all that helpful. I’d prefer to see a video of some cool stuff that people might share. Some quick cuts of what you think could be the power of this network.<p>I think this landing page doesn’t need much more than that video and a sign up link. (Exaggerating but you get the idea)<p>I am no serial entrepreneur, I have no experience in this area. Just opinions. Good luck
When I get to the page I quickly want to see 3 things:<p>1. What is it?<p>> A place to share thoughts, ideas, and opinions, using video!<p>What kind of place? Website? App? Why is video at the end if that's the (presumably) unique feature?<p>2. How will it make my life better?<p>No clue.<p>3. What do I do now?<p>Get notified on release isn't bad but what about "Get On The List" or something to make it seem more exclusive?
I think page about a video blog should have a video on the landing page. Especially with the presenter being informal and enthusiastic, if this is a check to see interest, then simulate what the experience you want to present in the video. Though I think the lead picture there is excellent.<p>To me, the screenshot looks more like an ID badge than a video forum screenshot, the main pic looks like a newscaster reading from a teleprompter, little too formal.
hey!<p>work on the whitespace - make consistent vertical margins between elements: beginning of the white section seems a bit too cluttered.<p>Also try to use a bit different color palette - that blue color looks like a bit CSS's default `blue` built-in color - try something more unusual! :)<p>good luck!
You might want to play around with the spacing (there seems to be a lot more white space than necessary) and the color scheme--the black, blue, and white don't work very well together as it is.vOther than that the content is pretty good.
I was able to briefly look at this and it feels very square and sharp. Maybe implementing UX/UI design patterns would make the landing page flow more and overall more appealing.
