Hey guys,
We just launched our site and we`d like to create a
simple experience.

http://www.GeniusRoom.com/

After a quick look through the site, would you be able to
answer the questions below?






* What does our product do?
* What does it cost to subscribe?
* What is an example use case?
* Did you see a screenshot?
* Did you think "hey this is neat"?

We truly appreciate any feedback (good or bad).

Okay, here`s the main problem I see: the term "genius," as you`re using it in context, carries a very strong connotation of satire, like "Nice move, genius!" I get where you`re going, but you`re going to have to add some content to take the edge off, otherwise, you`re going to alienate a large percentage of first-time visitors.

• What does our product do?
  It appears to be something like "Go to meeting," where people can work online in a virtual office?
  
• What does it cost to subscribe?
  Free?
  
• What is an example use case?
  No idea
  
• Did you see a screenshot?
  Nope
  
• Did you think "hey this is neat"?
  On a scale of 1-10 as applied to getting me excited right out of the box, I`d give it a 3

I read your home-page content, and really didn`t understand where this was all going. It was only when I clicked the "Become a genius" link that I started getting a "sense" of what was going on. I didn`t particularly explore any further because you asked for a quick impression.

I`d say that as it stands, it`s not compelling. It`s a great idea, and the best page on the site is the "Features" page. That should be moved to the front, get a copywriter for the 2 paragraphs of intro, and put the features just as you have them, "below the fold" on the main page. Keep the tab, as a redundant option for people who want to return to those features later.

Thanks Craig

I appreciate you taking a look Tracy.

We`re trying to build it out for those in professional
services, as a way for them to interface with clients (or
a distributed team).

Our web designer came up with the tree suggestion - I
really like the idea as well.

nice site, but i wish it felt more...."fun"? like work as we all know is not fun (depends). and your whole site is about not having that miserable experience...but what im getting at i guess is...personality? it needs more personality. other than that, kick-ass site dude!
