TeaParty11.com - Dec 16th Money Bomb - Ron Paul Tea Party

What is Disqus? Wouldn't it be more convenient to use Facebook for commenting? Or is there a reason for not using it? I would think that using Facebook commenting would bring in more activity. Overall I love the idea of being able to comment on the main website. It provides a place for people to talk about promotion and it gives people a reason to return.

Using Disqus because it allows people to login with Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, or Google. So, it provides a more broad accessibility since not everyone is using Facebook.

Oh ok, I didn't realize you could login with Facebook.

I'm not sure if it's just happening for me, but Ron Paul's head is slightly over top of the T in the Tea Party logo. Also, are you leaving out the December 16th, 2011 from the right part of the screen or just replacing it with something else?
 
Do you think you'd be able to move the text up just a little bit so there isn't such a large gap there? It would help make the pledge field and the sharing buttons more visible too.

Have a look at what I have so far and tell me what you guys think. I'm working on the interior pages now.

Suggestions: change "tea part '11" to "tea part day MONEY BOMB" (the word "money bomb" needs to be front and center)

- add December 16th back to top right of scroll
- increase size of "no one but Paul" stamp 25%

- the headline "join us to..." should be moved into the subheader below. Those are details. The main headline needs to state the REASON WHY (e.g. "...to win Iowa", "to break through the blackout", "to send the message: No one but Paul" etc.)

- Copy in the top section seems overly focusd on the tea party movement rather than tea party spirit. Few Paul supporters will get fired up over that being the mission/goal of this money bomb - let's move that into the "tea party history" section

- disqus box looks weird at full width. Use the bto letter-with-YouTube-sidebar template. Give it a transparency that's lighter (like the pledge field - to improve readability).

Looking good though - just need refer-pledge turned on and we'll be back on track :)

The MENU, on the teaparty11.com splash, on the right, is a much welcomed addition. Tech first, artsy fartsy LAST.

The MENU must be on each page, or you strand the user. Or the pledge widget needs to be ... where that menu was ...

Make the menu as small, and utilitarian as you can ... using the most legible font. THEN ... get artsy.

Spend the time creating the code to include the menu on each page, write your sub first ... then get artsy.

You are an excellent layout, formatting developer ... but the inclusion of the menu on every page, along with the widget is crucial.

When the user thinks to themselves ... I gotta check the rest of this out before I put mah money in der ...

Then they go to one of the pages on the menu and WHAM, you GOT them ... on that page ... they gotta have that widget right there, to capitalize on that emotional response.

NAVIGATION first, (Netscape Navigator), tech next, (MS Explorer), social last (Chrome) ... then art.
 
I'm off to a running start on the teaparty11.com Billboard.

dusman, I will be watching, very carefully, the final development of the teaparty11.com splashpage as it firms and finalizes. I will not surpass your design but honor it, for branding, as completely as possible. My gut feeling is that the your basic design, for the splash is very near a final which can be harmed by further artistic innovation.

Let it sit, let it mature in our minds now.
 
I posted this in the other thread, don't know if it got read...

I would also like to add that I am willing to help with whatever needs help right now. I'm short on cash until the 10th, don't have any special skills other than the usualy spamming I do on my facebook, twitter, etc.., but if there is something you can think of that I can do to help let me know and I'd be glad to help. PM Or respond in this thread, thanks.

Can we just launch the money bomb tomorrow and go for 10 days leading up to Dec 16th? The campaign needs money now! I feel if we built up momentum of actual donating, rather than pledging, the campaign will get a lot more.

The font used for the menu on the right seems a little hard to read tbh, can you make it something a bit clearer?

agreed - being worked on now (the "Refer-a-Pledge" tab with also be highlighted to help it stand out) :)
 
Dusman, just wondering if you finished with that ad yet? We're losing ad time on LewRockwell.com.
