Let me know what you think of my new site! (Mainstream, landing page)
 

Hey everyone,

here is the landing page of our new project:

http://www.teamdiscounts.com/Montreal/

Let me know your thoughts!

Looks very good and in my browser works perfectly, but when loaded in IE 8 scrolling down is really choppy (although there isn't much to scroll down to), so I'm guessing your script is messing with the browser.

Just a little heads up....

lookin good man

Now those backgrounds are awesome!

groupon called and said they want their idea back! :1orglaugh

In all seriousness though, it looks great! I think these types of sites are going to become more and more popular.

its funny how many groupon clones there are, even a few in thailand.

Since it's /Montreal/, I take it you plan on doing this with a bunch of cities?

If so, good luck. I think you're in the game early enough to get good traction.

looks nice, let me know when it launches

it is fucking great...

classy, i like

Your site loaded w-a-y slow for me, so ordinarily I would not have waited around for it to load, plus when it did load, it was not immediately clear what the site was about, other than an e-mail phisher... :2 cents:

Good luck anyway - just offering honest feedback! :thumbsup

ADG

Looks great

The connection has timed out
The server at www.teamdiscounts.com is taking too long to respond.

This from Europe.

Quick bump!

Its real nice man,
pop your signup button in green so it sticks out
also id pop the city name in green

so people auto think city>signup

sorry i didnt get those changes in time, everyday is a shit show for me atm so i have been forced to be a little selfish towards my own stuff.

very nice

Looks good, but took almost a minute to load.

Any other thoughts?

The other thing i see if the flash load at the beginning is going to be a problem, especially the way IE reacts slowly. do you need to keep that?

It did load a little slow here. :2 cents:

Long loads

The fades are very choppy

No real call to action

not even close to w3c

increase the text/html ratio

Looks good, Loaded in So Cal fast and flawless:thumbsup

I would keep it to one fixed background photo for a fast load for everyone:2 cents: Maybe do a different background on each load

it looks stunning.

but.......

it takes a while to load. and i bet a few people leave.

it may be worth having the front page as html and offer the option of flash and non flash.

It's sensory overload.


Keep it simple and minimal.


Your target is to get emails. Make that the focus of the page. The background is far too distracting.

Looks great. Develop another one and split test them. Then repeat.

Looks good, I want to eat that pizza...

Nice site indeed :)

I think it looks great and very nicely done.

i like it but it was kinda slow opening. Using Chrome which is the fastest browser.

Loaded fine for me using Opera. Looks nice.

When it finishes loading I'll let you know......................................

I'm not by any means an expert,but I went to take a piss and when I came back it was still loading

It's nice as hell when it finishes tho.I want to go to Montreal!

a friend of mine did the exact same in Canada some 3 years ago, he was also an adult webmaster. I recall it was big hassle to deal with restaurant owners etc

Good luck with it,thats a nice landing page

loaded fine here in Minneapolis. Nice design.

looks good dude :thumbsup

design is sweet, loads slow

Looks great, but as has been mentioned is very very slow. Plus almost crashed firefox once it finished loading.

Very nice looking site. It loaded fine for me.

checked it out in Safari, FF and chrome and looks great. good luck! :thumbsup

very niceee

Yes, I mean, God forbid people would have to do some actual work to make money in the real world. Its a shame.

looks very, very nice. Very professional and trustworthy

Thanks for the comments everyone!

And yes, we are working our asses off on this project :)

I think the woman with the stones on her back is a beautiful design. I also saw close-ups of sushi, pizza, chocolate and parachutes. The photographs are high resolution and very detailed. The colors are beautiful. The pop up that says, "type your email address here" looks very well designed. Everything looks professionally done. Good luck, bdjuf.

Very nice. Definitely love the background and I didn't get any choppiness in IE8 at all, perhaps you fixed it already.

Have you ever dealt with these businesses before? Hotels, resorts, restaurants, can all be gigantic pains in the ass. Disorganized and confused a lot of the time. The entire service industry can be one big clusterfuck at times. A lot of big places you'd expect to operate flawlessly have management that amounts to a joke in reality. Now try dealing with a bunch of them, in a bunch of different cities. I can see the point he was making.

I'm not going to say it can't be a profitable endeavor. Obviously there's a lot of potential there, but I can see where a lot of people would run out of energy attempting it at the same time.

Good luck with the project though. Stick with it and hopefully things work out well!
