The site looks fantastic, great work. The orange button does its job of capturing attention.

I don’t know about anyone else but I still find myself wanting to interact with the map picture. I caught myself rolling my cursor over it a few times expecting it to do something.

I might recommend linking that image to something. Perhaps a search page, so for those that do miss the orange button, they click on the image and it takes them to a page that would allow them to perform the same search that they could have on the front page.

That way, if someone, like me for instance, was trying to interact with the image, you still have the chance of capturing them on the other page.

Just a thought.

Great thoughts, thank you! Also, doesn’t the logo/link to home work for you? This should already be in place.

Speaking of suggestions, one suggestion you may want for your own blog is to turn your logo in the top left into a link to your index page. Often, a lot of people click on the logo of pages to bring them back to where they started.

And I LOVE the research from http://www.useit.com/alertbox/ — some great information here that we all can benefit from!

Yes, very nice. I strongly agree that having a firm process in place that guides users down a certain path is essential. It increases customer satisfaction, encourages action and conversion on sales. Additionally, if you know the process a user is going to take, you can leverage that by placing certain key advertisements on relevent pages.

I like it. Not only does it look significantly better it speaks more to your call to action. “Find A Tutor” using the form and the result is the screenshot of tutors near you… Nice.
