The design is pretty good - well above the norm. It could still be improved though.

I like the "Perfectly Safe, Perfectly Simple, Perfectly Free", but stylistically it's quite different from the infographic on top. The logo is also a bit off from the rest in style. And the call-to-action button is a bit washed out. The main menu has horrendous choice of colours.

The sign-up form has a lot of empty space that makes the page look only half done. And there is some lack of consistency on how you style forms in general. (Grey background for the whole form or just the submit-button panel?)

All minor things, but going over them a few times could really improve the finish a lot.



Another point that seems to have escaped notice: I can't middle click the uservoice badge on the right, or the contact link at the bottom.

ETA: The Upgrade plan > Hide link manages to replace the page with "[object Object]"; the password field is mandatory but lacks the asterisk.


Great feedback. Thanks! Can you help? shereef@classparrot.com


I'm sorry, but I really don't have the time, besides giving a few suggestions here on HN. In any case, graphical design is not exactly my main area of expertise. Keep in mind that it's a lot more craft than art, so you can do a lot even if you consider your self graphically challenged.

You might want to present your layout on forrst.com. If you don't know it already, it's a community with the focus of bringing hackers and designers together. You can usually get some good constructive feedback there. If you need an invite, let me know.
