I'll bite. A few things: - Seriously, get a proofreader. At the very least, get somebody who knows how to put commas before the space. This sounds petty, but terribly written copy really makes the site feel like the kind of place that just wants to snag my email and send me spam. - LOOK at the pages before you publish them. Black text on #252424 is incredibly difficult to read, and it seems to happen quite a bit. - have some visibility of projects / freelancers before people sign up. This will both increase your visibility to Google and encourage people to sign up. - have some indication of what the business model is. I don't know about the rest of the world, but I'm always somewhat suspicious of sites that have *no* visible means of support. If there's not a strategy yet, a note to the effect that the site is currently in "free beta" would also work. For that matter, even stating that the site's goal is to showcase IS's work (essentially a webapp version of a retail "loss-leader") would be helpful. --Matt Jones - get a specific set of terms + conditions: having the copy on Crowdcoded be a de-formatted version from http://www.inno-sys.com/terms.htm once again looks spammy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
