I built a site for parents to check books & movies before their kids read/watch them — what should I change?

Wait 5 sec.

I built a site to help parents figure out whether a book or movie is actually a good fit for their child, beyond just seeing something like “Ages 10+.” Dickens & Rumi shows age guidance, content cautions, positive themes, series reading order, and the reasons behind ratings. The problem is that I’ve spent a lot of time building and polishing it, but traffic is still very small, so I’m worried I may be too close to the project to see what’s wrong. If you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate brutally useful feedback: Is it immediately clear what the site does? What feels confusing or unnecessary? Is the homepage too busy? What would make you leave? What feature would actually make you come back? Does anything make the site feel untrustworthy? If you were a parent, would you use this instead of just Googling a book? Site: dickensandrumi.com I’m much more interested in what’s wrong with it than compliments.   submitted by   /u/DickensAndRumi [link]   [comments]
