Hey AB, Ok, I'm in. Landed on my Dashboard and then spent abt 5 mins clicking around looking for how to add a web site.
On a cold start, you really wanna put the desired action front and centre. In this case, the 'primary actions' are Adding my various online profiles (Google, FB etc) Which, firstly didn't make sense to me. I came in thinking primary focus of the product was web sites. So I ignored it and looked at the left bar for guidance. My suggestion is to put a 'Add new site' button up the top under the username and profile pic. With some explanation/instruction. I wouldn't have had a clue as to what to do next had I not read the list you had in your email. Will keep playing and report back on user flows. If not ping me privately and we can discuss. Congrats on getting it up and out!
