The domain alexjray.com comes up as red and dangerous in WOT - https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/alexjray.com

Seems like it may have been a spam domain in the past, I would recommend making a forum post to get people to review your site and hopefully fix this.

Oh man, I really like this!

(I'm assuming it would be use for forms...)

Have you tested it with any forms out in the real world yet? I'd be curious to see some conversion data comparing a QnA style form to a traditional one. My guess is this works best for shortish forms.

Here's a similar idea http://www.typeform.com/examples

For a long form it was okay, once, since it acted as a tutorial of sorts. After that I believe it would get tedious.

I saw Typeform about a week ago. Looks pretty slick. Planning on trying that at some point too.

Totally agree that the handholding nature of it could be really powerful as a tutorial, especially in user onboarding.

Exactly,

I haven't done any user testing yet, but I do plan on it.

The idea is to make landing pages more human, conversational and focused. I do imagine there is a complexity limit as waiting for the animation could get out of hand fast.

If you do end up using it, I would love to hear how it goes!

I have a little project I'm working on right now that might be a good fit to test on. I'll keep you posted if I integrate QnA.

I'll also share it with a UX group I meetup with.
