I am about to launch another venture and need some fresh eyes to run it through its paces before we kick off.

http://www.isuffer.com - Because Misery Loves Company

There are 75 different categories of suffering - from physical pain to mental pain to traffic, airlines, customer service, politics, etc...Might be too much, or too little, not sure -

Rev through advertising if we get the traffic high enough.

Please sign up and post something and let me know if the process is good and also let me know what I can do to improve it before we launch.

On the intro page, some of the text is a bit small, and the color makes it difficult to read. It took a few seconds to realize that the text areas at the top were a log in section .... the small graphics are a neat idea, but the "Remember Me" text is almost invisible, and the fact that you log in here isn`t clear right away.

It seems like a neat idea ... many people love to complain, and many times love to share their misery with anyone that will listen .... it`ll be interesting to watch it.

I`m not fond of squeeze pages that have this general

feel and layout... they look corporate, like their concern

is with "branding" rather than getting action.

I am not saying they don`t work - I just don`t like

them much. Your copy here isn`t selling me on the

idea that I need to sign-up... but as you should

know "when they`re crying, they`re buying" - and

you`ve got a ripe market... just turn up the heat,

twist the knife.

If you want people to take action increase the acuity

of their feelings of pain and offer promise of a fast

solution. For your purpose here I don`t know if

it matters if you can deliver.

Find out what people desire

Sell them what they want

Sneak-in what they really need.

I misquoted that. In any case, you should try

split testing more hard-hitting or verbose copy against

the copy you have here. I think the fonts are too

small... and definitely will be for older readers.

I think the look is very professional. The "Remember Me" at the top needs to be a contrasting color with the background, perhaps white or very light gray. I would recommend increasing the size of the font just a bit. Good explanation. Simple to navigate.

Good Luck!
