Offer HN: Let us critique your project?
We're starting a little service doing thorough, robust critiques of websites, focusing on startups. We'll go through all aspects of each site pre-login, all of the marketing pages, explanations, etc.
I'm hoping to find a few sites we can critique for free in order to get sample reports/testimonials before we start to charge. Our office is made up of an art critic and a writer who also design and build web projects, and I think we're pretty good at this sort of advice. We actually did a trial run on an unnamed YC company that liked the advice and is planning to implement most of it but wasn't comfortable with us using them as an example because they're in the midst of raising funds.
We only ask that if you find the critique useful you write a short note about it and let us use your report as a sample. Leave your email in a comment and I'll get in touch to get your website and a little info about what your goals are.
Thanks in advance for helping us out!

About the reports:
-
A critique in three parts
-
The Big Picture
• What, in general, is your site really communicating?
• What’s working, what isn’t working? How professional is the experience of your site?
• Who are you trying to target, and how well is your site calibrated to talk to them?
• Most importantly, how well is your site meeting your UX goals?
-
Visual Details
• Which specific elements need reworking?
• How can the layout, color palette, typography, spacing, etc. be improved?
• Every detail of your front end is reviewed in Google Chrome.
-
Copy Editing
• Writing well is a key element of professional presentation and successful marketing.
• We’ll edit up to about 1500 words of copy on your site for clarity, tone, persuasiveness, spelling and grammar.
