Offer HN: I'll review your Product/UX for free (for my blog)

17 pointsmartinshen9 comments

I'm looking to do a weekly review of a small startup's UX/Product for a blog series I'm trying to do.

Why I can help with your design? - I'm the cofounder of and do design of a little SF startup, UpOut.com - 3 years running a small web design shop building 100+ projects (and countless more mockups) - I occasionally consult for UX for a handsome fee

...still reading?

I haven't firmed up the exact bits and pieces of the review; Likely, I'll go through the main bits of the site and provide a fairly detailed description of tweaks with a heavy focus on conversions. If you're interested in getting reviewed, please reach out to me at my email by clicking on my username.

Why am I doing this? Running UpOut full time means I only design for one site. I want to do a small series to practice my skills.

I'm also considering doing a review series: I'll go more in depth with sites that implement some of my modifications. I'll require the sites I do this with to provide analytics for me so I can help more functionally.

For the current reviews, I think I've decided on an outline:

General: - HOW I SEE THE PRODUCT VISION - PRODUCT/UX GOALS: Customer type - DESIGN CHOICES

---

STRIPPING: things that need to be removed + why - Elements that take away from the goal

SMALL CHANGES: under 20 hours of work - HTML/CSS changes - Image aliasing + fixes - Basic JS - Small structural (moving partials, page order)

MEDIUM CHANGES: under 10 days of work - Adding fancy stuff (unlimited scroll, timed pop ups etc.) - Page structure

LARGE CHANGES + ADD ONS: Big picture stuff - Large feature improvements/modifications - Future goals

---

Let me know if there is a preferred method to UX feedback. I plan to spend no more than an 1.5 hours to 2 hours on each startup review

Please, I would love to have more feedback on http://weekplan.net.

Sacha Greif organized a design roundtable about WeekPlan a few weeks ago: http://blog.folyo.me/design-roundtable-weekplan/

I would love to hear your advices on "how I could increase the perceived value of the product".

Thanks!

Martin, what an awesome thing to do to help us. I considered myself a designer until my brain got blocked churning out new design ideas and now I can surely use some feedback and help on my site and mobile app. I am looking for feedback on my project at http://www.findero.us. Thanks a bunch.

Martin,

Sounds quite generous of you! I'd love to take you up on it for one of my side projects: domainsforfriends.com

The tool is still pre-launch, but I've got nothing stopping curious visitors from checking it out.

Anyways, if you're interested, shoot me an email, it's listed on the welcome page for the site.

This isn't a startup, but I wouldn't mind some feedback on my side project: http://comparerc.com

I haven't really launched it except to a handful of people, so traffic is basically zero. Email in my profile if you're interested. Thanks!

I'd love some professional UX feedback on my startup BugMuncher (http://bugmuncher.com).

The website design is off the shelf from themeforest, but I've already customized it a bit, so any feedback there would also be awesome.

I'd like some feedback on the project I'm working on. I'm finishing some UI work right now, when I update the apk on the Marketplace I'll definitely hit you up, thanks man.

Please review our start up based in South Korea. http://nboon.com

We're constantly benchmarking sites in U.S.

I will love to have you provide feedback on SocialAppsHQ - https://www.socialappshq.com
