Hello,

First off on the home page I don't like how the "Storage Drop" covers up the paragraph. By me having to expand my web browser I'm able to see the paragraph move off to the right. You will need to work with your CSS more and have it able to adjust to different broswers. Chances are you coded the site in 1 broswer. I like on the side you have "start here" but, I see ways to improve it. When I click "start here" it will drop down. Then when I click "hide" it seems choppy on my broswer. It would be much more effective if you could make it more of a smooth transition. I hope I was helpful. Best of luck to you.

I'm lost on the home page, finally saw the "start here" ... why not let me get started on the home page. Design is nice, I just didn't get the gist of your site at a glance. Not sure I would have stayed if I found it in a search engine.

Best,

Justin

The purpose of your website should be the first thing that the user sees when they get onto your website. Maybe it should be more centered and more obvious. The start here button dynamic is interesting... but remember to apply the principles of web usability. I recommend you do a bit of research on it if you have the time.

From wiki,

Quote:
The broad goal of usability can be:
1) Present the information to the user in a clear and concise way.
2) To give the correct choices to the users, in a very obvious way.
3) To remove any ambiguity regarding the consequences of an action e.g. clicking on delete/remove/purchase.
4) Put the most important thing in the right place on a web page or a web application.

The storage drop logo is misplaced
you should add a favicon for your site to be noticeable
there is a big space on the right, with nothing in it
the start here box, the question mark is out
the little box in the front page should be pulled up, I shouldn't have to scroll down when there is no text on the top

Well the design overall and the concept is really good, I really like it. Just do the changes I said

It is nice but I think you got the logo in the wrong place.
