I guess this will have been user tested a lot and that I evidently browse for fonts in a different way but there's a couple of things I like to do when browsing for new stuff.

1. Enter my own block of text and apply it to all the fonts so I can get a feel for how my own website content would look rather than a wordy description of each font and weight.

2. I'd like to view just one font weight in a family at the initial scanning phase as the visual noise of some families that have several weights means I'm having to scroll past lots of stuff I don't want and it make comparing very difficult when your screen is full of a single family.

3. It would also be nice to set a slightly smaller minimum font size on the selector too

On the font selection page, I really like the view when you click to select the ones you want and it shows you the styles included in your purchase. That's really nicely done.

Surely you factor the cost of the various tools of your trade into your rate though?

It's certainly an advertorial type post promoting the agency but in fairness I thought it was a pretty good overview of a CMS I've never used or considered before.

You're not horrible but a week really isn't much time to give anyone a chance especially if you've knowingly jumped from a throw shit out the door as quickly as possible and see if it works culture to a more "considered" slower paced approach and feels a little unfair on the company who've taken a chance on hiring you.

If you're willing to hang around and perhaps try to bring some of your ideas or process improvements to the table then if it were my company I'd prefer you just went asap and I could get someone who was a better fit and no hard feelings as the hiring process doesn't seem to have flagged that you might not be right for the workflow/process of the new place.

If it takes a year to hand over your work, something is very very wrong with how you're operating.

I suspect I'll get used to it with continued use but I have to admit my first impressions on all the borders around inputs/elements wasn't that positive and it made it harder to quickly jump to different areas to perform simple tasks.

Without any sort of borders, everything is very low contrast.

How would my $86 purchase double conversion rates? Your advert is not clear on this.

I know what you mean, it's hard to come up with an introductory line on a homepage that doesn't bore someone I guess. We've been through the same cycle and done the "we give a shit", "we're xyz", "we get results" etc and none of them quite strike home as 100% original but i suppose it's hard to break down what's not an uncommon service (design/dev) into something so mind-blowingly unique nobody's seen it before and aren't bored and that makes an impact :)

Their case studies / portfolio looked impressive to me. What did you think was cookie cutter?
