[thelist] Need some good usability feedback.

[Ryan Finley]

Thanks for the heads up on the grammatical error.  I didn't even realize
that "poring" was a word.  The more I stare at it, the more it becomes
completely nonsensical.  It seems like such a strange word (maybe it's my
lack of sleep!).  So I replaced it with "digging thru", rather than "poring
over".

In any case, thanks for the feedback on the logo.  What direction do you
think I should go?  Is it the chunky font or the whimsical monkey that seems
incongruent with the rest of the site?  I do like the monkey...I've grown
rather attached.

Any ideas?

(a 'me too' with an added bit)

Agree with Mike on the look, and the logo. Real clean; looks like the real
modern business offices in the ritzy sections of San Diego - which makes the
logo look a bit cartoonish.

One quibble: the professionalism comes down a peg with a grammatical error
('pouring' s/b 'poring') When information is your product, even minor errors
hurt.

I'm curious about your user base. How much traffic do you get? There might
be some surveys in my future.

Ryan,
The site has come a long way and I love the layout and responsiveness of the
UI. Seems like that logo could use a more sophisticated treatment, it now
seems out of place based on what is below it.

I suppose this is a little self-promotional, but I would like a fresh set of
eyes to take a look at the updates I've made to SurveyMonkey.  I've spent
the past couple of weeks analyzing the usability myself, and I would greatly
appreciate some feedback.

In particular, take a look at the <input> boxes.  I've applied a stylesheet
that looks pretty nifty.  There are just small tweaks here and there, but
I'd like some feedback as what strikes anyone as lacking from a usability
and stylistic point of view.

Thanks always...
