It`s an attractive site. I like that the first three points are links, but they don`t "look like" links. They should be underlined at least. Then, when you go to step 1, "What`s an Essay?" there should be a button at the bottom that takes you to setp 2, so you don`t have to go back to the home page. Then to step 3.

Your concept seems to be like a flowchart, but in order to move through the "flow" I have to keep going back to some starting point. It`s disruptive.

Another thing that would be nic would be to have an input area at each pause point. Ask a question, and the user can input some content. The site stores it, assigns it to the right variable, and at the end of the process, outputs the completed boxes as a single essay.

Who`s your target market for this site?

Thanks Craig!
 
Its pretty funny - our target market was the high school /college age group. However, we have been getting emails from English teachers and English tutors saying the site is really helping them prepare for classes.
We are debating if we should focus our marketing efforts in the teachers market or the students.....as of now we  are marketing to both groups.
 
advice?

Focus on the teachers: They have a financial incentive to use the site. Highschool students could care less about essays and would likely prefer copying and pasting plagiarized material into an essay.

What you`re basically doing is trying to bring back some form of education on the idea of "conceptualization." It`s become a lost art, although the ability to form concepts is (we think) unique to the human mind.

You might want to read Ayn Rand`s "Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology," for some useful insights into how the mind continually condenses and subsumes information. But I think if teachers are using the site to better organize their material, that`d be the way to go.
