How is a user supposed to find out what this site really
does without putting in an email address and agreeing to terms of service?
So many sites do this:
> Cool Title!
> Sign up here.
> Some Web 2.0-looking boxes with a few words about how cool the thing is.
> Sign up here.
With no obvious way to something that isn't either a sign-up box or a few more meaningless words.
And then way down at the bottom in tiny font I see "Music Score Editor." Ah-ha! I think, and click. No... that just scrolls me back up to those meaningless words.
Next to that is "Guitar Tabs." Now that one DOES lead to an example. There is a real example! With no way of guiding me to this link, in tiny font at the bottom, and under the previous meaningless link.
And finally I realize that there's a link to the top, "Popular", which is not a helpful word and is, again, next to a meaningless link ("Education", which leads you to more words).
