Is this easy to use? Your goal is to open a new savings account.

http://www.mybanktracker.com/savings

We just launched our new style of rate tables, but we need more testing. It would be great to have your opinion.

So, i agree that the page is a little busy. Maybe I'm dense, but the "Cash to Save" was ambiguous and couldn't decide if you meant "The end amount of cash I'd like to have after X months" or "How much I have now that I can move to this account".

On the "Learn More" page after clicking a bank, the slider occasionally mis-renders. (The handle will render under the textbox which requests my deposit amount.) This is usually if I max out the Cash slider on the first step. (OS X 10.6.8, Chrome 14)

This seems pretty straight-forward to me. And pretty helpful. I think you're moving in the right direction.

This is great feedback Mike. The "Learn More" page was built a long time ago, and I forgot that it uses the value from the slider from the previous page. I'll fix that today when I launch it on the CD rates page.

Thank you very much!

The first thought that hit me when I opened the link is that I don't know where to look. I was searching for the product. Then I found it after looking at the bottom half of my browser . Three different horizontal menus and one huge ad banner seem to be taking a lot of space. FYI Screen Resolution 1366x768

Once I actually scrolled down a bit and started using the sliders I got it directly. Very easy to use, great job on this.

Another note is the "In the news" section has news from 6 months ago. It's not a big deal but doesn't look that good.

Thanks for the feedback. I completely agree. The top part of the site is something we're trying to shrink. Especially since a good part of our audience have smaller resolution screens.

Clicked on link out of curiosity. Immediately lost interest upon discovering it's US-only.

Sorry about that. There's a good chance we'll never go outside of the US.

I'm really looking for anyone's feedback on HN, if you care to comment!
