That's the worst name of any product I've seen someone share here. Cisforce sounds like a platform for people to discuss their issues with non-binary and trans people.
Or the name for the new intergovernmental military, probably not the best in current times

#22The name is bad, the feedback popup should not popup unless you click it, it should also be in the lower right hand corner. Its not very obvious that I should scroll down to learn more.

#23Here a couple of my first impressions: - The site is waaayyyy too slow, I would be gone before it even loaded. - Things on the site don’t match up, Top 1% of freelancers and then show rates between $18 and $40 an hour?!? - The first person (Evgeniy) you see on the page looks like a dud (should have a more charismatic picture) maybe have one of the others first - The name is horrible, even if the intention had nothing…

#24i would also suggest changing the name, force implies power and maybe today this is not such a good thing with a war going on and 2 founding members involved ;) and yes speed matters. I personally would optimize for speed and then add features, nobody wants to see a spinner if he travels a lot on the page to look for applicants, at least i would not. also i think your statement will not scale or the amunt of people y…

#25Note to all who may enter and make the same comment: "CIS" also stands for "CIS region"[0] So I assume this site is CISForce.com as in "CIS work force". [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Independent_St...

#26Why does a website need a loader? There is no excuse with all the optomisation tools available. > Top 1% of best freelancers > Each specalist goes throwgh rigorous screening process before starting the work > on any important project, and only 1% of all candidates are able to pass it. I hope they have better attention to detail than you.

#27You really need to rethink your name. Most people don’t know that CIS stands for a region.
Re: Ask HN: Looking for feedback on our website (freelance platform))
#28It's extremely slow to load, even before the spinner starts. This should really be a static site. A lot of copy issues with typos, grammar, etc. throughout. This is compounded by the fact that there's a lot of copy on the page (probably too much). You only mention the CIS countries thing in one place, that should be more apparent given it's the name of your company. The dashes on the "What We Cover" cards look really…

#29Viewing on mobile. What with the business name and swiping on large photos, it feels like a dating app. I’m not immediately interested in what people look like. I want to see their work/info/price.

#30The grammar is poor throughout. For example: > We help companies access top freelancers faster, more cost-effective and risk-free This is better: "The fast and cost-effective way for companies to access top freelancers." Cis is slang for cisgender. Cisgender force has a weird connotation. Page load times are slow. Icon set and bootstrap design looks cheap. Lacks differentiation from Toptal. Hope that helps.
