I think "pledge" is the right word, and I'm not certain about the exclamation mark, but I lean toward supporting it. "raise 684 pledges" is the right idea and better than nothing. It's nice that it's so short, but it's unclear because "raise pledges" sounds a little like "do the work of finding others to pledge" like "pledge to get more pledges from others". And that's not right, obviously. We *might* have to settle for imperfect and people will just get the idea. My vision has been to have an actual stat available: the next pledge will get $X extra matching from Y current patrons". And we want to be able to express what the *current* cost of pledging will be too. I think when people aren't sure what exactly their impact or agreement is, they'll hesitate to click a pledge button. I think we need to err on the side of clarity over brevity whenever they conflict. We can work to get more concise over time but really cannot afford to allow for any confusion or misunderstanding at this stage. > >> >> >>>> >>>> I *really* like the design otherwise! >>>> >>>> Last minor note for now: perhaps a clear watermark should be added to >>>> these mockups to make it totally clear what they are? >>>> >>> >>> As long as nothing indicates these are final I don't see a problem. >>> Or what information exactly are you missing? >>> >> >> >> Well, for example, we don't yet have formal partnerships / affiliation >> with all those organizations shown at the bottom of the mockups!
