What front page do you have?


Alright, so the parent poster was not very constructive with his criticism but personally I have no idea what to do with this site. And don't take that to be a reflection of your own abilities as a developer, it just means it's time to push through the next iteration cycle and do better.

A front page should provide a value proposition, either implicitly (allow the user to sample your service in a way that makes its value clear, like google) or explicitly (by stating your value prop, like photobucket). I think the best front pages are hybrids, much like Flickr, which allow you to both quickly sample the service and read how you should be using the site.

Just some food for thought!
