Good luck with the site Andrew, and well done. Coupla thoughts: 1. The film frame icon doesn't work for me - what is it meant to represent? People and tools icons I understand.
2. Suggest you add those icons to the top left nav next to Sites, Names, Roles, Tech, to provide a visual key of what they mean, and also use those icons as as part of group headings on each individual website's page. The business idea for Webcred.it has some overlap with a project I'm working on, so I'll be particularly interested in your progress. I'm only mentioning that because I just think it would be weird not to. But I'm not your competition. I'll post about my thing in this group later in the year. And great to see how much useful feedback this group has given you. So generous. - Matto On Thursday, 23 January 2014 10:40:38 UTC+11, Andrew Ballard wrote: > > Hi there folks, let me (re)introduce myself: > > I'm Andrew Ballard - probably easier if you just called me 'AB' - I first > introduced myself in 2008, with this post: > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/silicon-beach-australia/mZOKD7xpHus/AbFJIuysapwJ > > Sadly, MyPerfect is no more, but instead, I'd really value some > constructive feedback on my new startup, Webcred.it > > -------------------------- > > Webcred.it is what IMDB is for movies, but for web sites. > > It's a centralised, industry-standard way of recognising all the people > and technology that goes into making web sites. > > -- For the public, it's an industry reference: a behind-the-scenes record > of the superstars and the unsung heroes who make the web sites we love to > use.
