First off, thanks for taking the time to give me feedback. Responses below.
>>It's not an MVP, it's just a mockup really.
How so? It's fully functional. I added a setting to disable all filtering (location, timing, tags) because I didn't want to have to schedule a ton of deals to match unforeseeable criteria.
>> Cut the amount of copy, the site is WAY too wordy. Read some blog posts about copywriting
Heh, I'm certainly not a writer. Thank you for the feedback on it, I'll try and trim it back.
>> - it doesn't need more features yet. Make the features you are showing work
What's not working? Did you run into something specific? If you're talking about filtering, I covered that above.
>> and then clean up the design on them
A large part of the design challenge is lack of content. As features are added, the content will fill out, allowing me to fill out the design. I also couldn't spend a horrible amount of time on the design itself. I'd love to hear feedback on what you didn't like specifically though if you have time.
>> Start a blog and a podcast, interviewing exciting restauranteurs. Use content to build the Forage brand
Agreed to an extent. At this stage I'm going to devote my days to door-to-door pitches to get restaurants on board while my nights will be spent developing features based on feedback from restaurateurs. I'm not funded so I have to cram as much as I can in. I realize the value of a blog though, well to an extent.
>> keep rockin
Thanks again :)
