Hey Brendan, Thanks for sending this, I can't tell you how valuable it is to get a fresh perspective on this stuff from an expert.
As far as color, do you have sense of what you want the brand colors to be? > It looks like the new release of the app, and the logo mark, are blue. > Perhaps consider having a blue-tone color theme rather that the black grey > theme. Having the header black makes it feel "dark". I would be mindful of > the connotations that "darkness" has (good and bad). Might be interesting to > see a lighter treatment. Perhaps blue and grey of beige? > Yes, its a tough one - I agree that it would be valuable to see a few options. We went for a white "open" feel with the current website, and there are advantages to this to combat the sense that anonymity is something negative. > 2. Screenshots are great to have. Consider adding a trigger that says > "Click to View Screenshots" under the one on the right, and on the > destination page, add more screenshots and label what those screens are. > Currently the destination page is just a single larger screenshot. Add a > description telling the user which screen they are looking at and add > additional screens of other parts of the app beneath it on this page and a > link at the bottom to take the user back to the previous page, the home > page. > Yes, we definitely need a better screenshot. Problem is that the current Freenet UI isn't all that photogenic :-) I agree with pretty-much all your other points. Clement, can you comment on this?
