A bit more feedback:

In chrome 32.0.1700.77, clicking join did nothing, it only scrolled to the top of the page.

Also, I'd love to see a quick video introduction. I like the concept.



Same here. Some points:

- Navigation feels weird.

- The main call to action should be "Try Codewars" instead of "Join Codewars" so it'd feel like "no compromise just try it", also it'd be clearer that you can actually try it out before signing up. I agree that the teaser should be longer than the 2 small exercises.

- The webcam in the monitor kinda creeps me out and draws my attention away from the important stuff.


Good point on the text - we'll make an update... The landing page navigation?

The webcam comment had me laughing for a few minutes. Never really noticed, but it's an easy fix.


Yep the landing page navigation, I actually didn't notice there was more to it than the landing page. I felt kinda lost in the landing page cause there's no much else than the "Join us" thing. I'm a programmer, my eyes have been trained to ignore marketing copy and search for code examples and documentation.


Thanks - glad you like the concept. A video intro is a cool idea, we'll look into it.

The join button just isn't clear enough, when it scrolls up it's just taking you to the challenges on the monitor, since you signup through there.


Thanks, a couple people here also seem confused by the join button, perhaps take it to a sign-up form, or change the join button text to be a little more descriptive of what you want the user to accomplish.


I also had issues creating an account.


That's unfortunate - just shoot me an email and we'll hook you up: nathan@codewars.com
