Hi, my team and I have been working on an employment solutions start-up.Recently we've redesigned the landing page to give more information about what we are doing without revealing too much.Link: http://eFolio.meAny feedback would be much appreciated.
I wouldn't have cringed so much if I hadn't have been developing in nodejs and php prior.
I get it, she dislikes her office culture, but that doesn't explain why she'd pick such a gender specific title. I think it's a complete over-generalization to use her experiences in her field to warn other females. To be honest, it feels like a sympathy piece.
With that being said, many software and web applications that use the "contact us for a price method" that aren't just vultures looking for your info usually need more information in order to price you properly. For example, the size of the company, your budget, your specific needs etc. may be needed to ensure that the company gets a fair specific price that caters to their needs.
But yeah, this backlash is pretty childish on both ends.
Bootstrap is a wonderful tool for getting your app out there without having to do much on a design level. But I believe that websites with a distinct look and easy UI that reflects their functionality is way better than a monotonous string of websites with no distinction between their design.
For instance Twitter's design is beautifully streamlined for it's functionality, which is to show a constant flow of micro-information. As opposed to HN's listed threads which show link based data. These designs even though they differ seem "natural" based on their functionality and require little to no mental effort.
Good UX does not require mental effort.
Furthermore, a unique look is how others identify sites. It's Twitter's UI looked exactly like Facebook's, more would have trouble distinguishing the two. This would hurt the site's capability to make an impression in the user's memory.
With no distinction between websites, how will the casual user remember you?

When looking at various HN "Weekend Projects", most are so well made I sometimes contemplate how the developers can organize and polish their project so well over the span of a weekend.So I became curious on how the HN community approaches developing their weekend projects.What are some of your individual approaches?
Hello, Recently I've been emailing local VCs with accelerator/partner programs (With only "contactus" and no application forms) in order to apply.The mail was the standard small bit a of background about myself, a paragraph pitch about my start-up and a meeting request where I told them that I can show off a detailed demo of my start-up.The only reason I don't attach the demo into the email is...
