Hey Mike, thanks for the offer. I'd like your feedback on the design of the landing page of my site: http://www.myzeek.com/

- What do you think of the design? (I'm not a designer) Does it looks cool/boring? - What do you think of the structure of the content? - Do you understand the product, and would you be tempted to sign in for the beta?

Any feedback is very useful and highly appreciated :) Thanks.




Quick note: In your header line, remove the "s" in "any devices".

The design isn't bad. It's simple and straightforward. There's nothing special about it and it's not going to turn any heads. There's not much content and I don't think you could present the information much better than you already do. I'd consider making your call-to-action (beta signup) a little more obvious. And maybe move the "login with dropbox" to the top and make it less "in your face". You want new signups to be top priority.

I don't like that I have to keep my music in the Public folder. I think Dropbox might not like this on my account because they will perceive this as sharing my music publicly. How do you intend to handle this? Do you think this could be in a private folder instead?

I don't think I'd necessarily go for this. My reason is probably something you should be concerned about as well. As cloud services become more prevalent, and online music streaming services do a better job of managing large catalogs, users will no longer need to maintain a large library for themselves. This is my scenario.

While I'm a self-proclaimed audiophile, I've retired my MP3 collection some years back in favor of services like Pandora, Grooveshark, Spotify, and Amazon MP3 which do a decent job.

If you're going to continue developing this product, I'd focus on finding something to differentiate yourself in a big way. Hope this advice helps. :)


Thanks Mike for the feedback, truly helps. I will be incorporating the suggestions over the next few days.
