Quick Take: Squarespace Circle

Lander

I just think the huge blank space looks weird.
  1. Is something missing? – A design element throughout this page is the blank space that appears between text. In fact, I checked this in another browser to make sure everything was loading properly. Don’t make me think!
  2. Ambiguous lander“Squarespace’s partner program for creative professionals” doesn’t tell me what’s in it for me.
  3. Two purposes ATF – When I land, they tell me there is a partner program, ask for my email for when I’m eligible, AND offer a “web design business plan template” (what a mouthful!). You ask too much, Squarespace! Stick the biz plan on it’s own lander and advertise it. Tell me what I get from being a partner.
  4. Meaningless image – This image fills the screen on desktop, and is just…people.

    No text, nothing interesting going on here. No new information and no reason to stay here….
  5. Don’t say these words – “Impactful” and “empower” don’t mean anything to people since they’re so overused. If you don’t have to have corporate-speak on your site, then don’t do it!

  6. A thought on words – “Empower clients to sell anything” isn’t what I’d sell here. SS is telling me how I can help clients…but I’m selfish - what do I get here? How about: “build anything for your clients”. People that SS is targeting like to build websites (evidenced by the business plan template offer), so they should say that.
  7. Here’s WIIFM – Finally, I get to find out what’s-in-it-for-me!

    When you delay WIIFM for your users, they drop off your website because they’ve lost interest. Here, a user can finally find out that there are financial benefits to being in the partner program.
