Edit: what's your feedback on Luke's web design and the pic I put up? What do you like and what would you like to see changed or combined? Thanks.
Vlad's picture: I don't think we should put another coin's logo (Bitcoin) on our home page. It will only confuse newbies. If and when we mention Bitcoin make sure the font is smaller than the word iXcoin. Luke did ok on that, but I still like Friction's "The First Alternative to Bitcoin" too. Overall I like Friction's website art and layout the most of the three (compared to yours and Luke's), but Luke has the right idea on presenting a Mission Statement, Philosophy and Principles to the reader in a clear and concise manner. Friction's site is a bit repetative... Development Fundraising, FAQ, and Download don't ned to be explained on the lower part of the home page. That's a better place for 1) Mission Statement, 2) Philosophy and Priciples, and our primary design feature 3) User Currencies and Smart Contracts. Also on Friction's site, I would leave "iXcoin" clearly spelled out in the upper left. There's no longer any place on the home page where "iXcoin" is displayed. It looks cool having the IXC logo's in the different colors below. I would change how the menus are organized. Combining Luke and Friction's menu item's, I'd suggest something like this. Home Social Hub News Services Downloads FAQ Home - home page, name and logo, keep carousel to highlight features, change lower bullets to Mission Statement, Philosophy and Priciples, User Currencies and Smart Contracts Social Hub - Forum, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc. News - for distilling and highlighting the most important information for iXcoin users who don't have time to read the social networking sites Services - to list exchanges and stores. This info shouldn't be buried in the FAQ's. This would also be a good place to describe NUDC and Smart Contracts in more detail. Download - for the latest client and source downloads FAQ - for all the normal questions and technical info. Also move Statistics here. Excellent suggestions.

Great, that's the kind of honest feedback we need.
Note to self: You're fired! lol.
Alright, you've asked for my honest opinion. I'll divide it into several categories: Usability: I think this is some sort of title page, from the appearance. However, I'm not sure what sort of content is being presented on this page. Features? Power of the network? Etc. Also, what is a good place for a menu? Aesthetics: Full color backgrounds may seem like a good idea, but only if done properly. Something like this could work if there is a fadeout to white at the bottom, followed by the key features. The text, in addition, is not very readable on top of the background. Furthermore, the design trends recently have been away from photorealistic backgrounds, unless you're in charge of managing a photo gallery or something similar. Bitcoin: I'm mixed on using bitcoin's logo on top of that page. We've had this discussion before with other coins, and I don't think presenting another coin's logo on your coin's page is that good of an idea, no matter how it's presented. The transition makes sense, but I don't think the image itself does. Just my two cents.

Vlad I like your idea, but not for a website. Like some others mentioned comparing yourself to something else isn't the right thing to do. You need to show why they need to pick you in a jungle full of coins.
Maybe put your idea in a video on the new website? That would be cool!
And how about Litecoin or Vertcoin and that brother thing? I havn't really read much about Virtcoin but they do say it will be the "new Bitcoin". Maybe we can do somthing with that too!

This is all great feedback. Hopefully luke can take something from it to improve on the first version of the design.

41 votes now. I'm shocked we're beating coins like earthcoin which has huge volume.
And I'm surprised i0Coin is right behind us given that coin appears abandoned. I guess not.
And it's funny to see more coins for which I own the domains; like 21Coin and potCoin (well, I own GanjaCoin.com). Lol.
Did you guys see BitcoinWallet.com sold for $250,000 and BitcoinWallets.com sold by the same guy for $200,000.
The smart money has officially moved in and domains are about to skyrocket to the internet boom days.

A few shit coins brought out sock puppets. Let's take to Facebook and twitter and get some more votes.
Edit: Is OpenEX a big deal or is it another tiny new exchange.

I think OpenEX is a new exchange, but it's 100 times easier to get on a new exchange than to wait until everyone else is trying to get on. So it's worth it to get on a few small exchanges. You never know which ones will become dominant exchanges some day. Be sure to vote.

Smart money investors. They are behind the scenes, keeping quiet.

Actually, it is indeed weird. Why would IXC need to be in yet another exchange like OpenEx? It makes sense to on say a Chinese exchange or a European one, but OpenEx? I am not too impressed with this development.

I am a bit baffled by the voting volume. I'm not seeing any unusual trading volume on vircurex or cryptsy.

It's very strange indeed. Where are all these voters on triceder? And we're still only showing 14 readers on Luke's reddit page which makes no sense if we have over 100 investors. What gives?

Could this be sock puppets? We've just never had them before though.
Interesting thing; a couple days ago a twitter character by the name of Cinnamon_Carter followed me and even wrote me asking about where to get an iXcoin wallet.
Thing is, he/she has nearly 70,000 followers. I'm a newbie and I have a loud mouth, people with 70,000 followers aren't gonna follow me. And they're not gonna have an interest in an unknown coin.
So I don't know what to think - maybe we finally grabbed someone's attention, someone with connections or deep pockets. God knows I've tweeted CEO's and billionaires and hedge fund managers about IXC.
Lol, shamelessly!
And I have a feeling this Cinnamon Character is a woman which is even more interesting cause most crypto investors are men, but that's just a guess.

I am not too impressed with this development. Don't we want to be on as many exchanges as possible? You know, like BTC? Remember, 6 months ago Cryptsy was a new small exchange and look now. I would love to see IXC on as many exchanges as possible.
