Ironically for me the site has some design bugs on FF 29.0.1 The "meet the team" page seems like a constant bg and all the other pages kinda slide over it with some transparency. so there are times when both of them are visible and overlap. http://imgur.com/NVCDTFN

Thanks for reporting! We're going to look for a fix asap.

You need some sort of indicator to keep scrolling down. I only saw your team the first time I clicked on it. I was surprised when I went back a second time that there was more content below that.

I'm not a huge fan of the order that you display your content in either. I think you should get to the message quicker than scrolling. The "Refresh your app design in 31 days" bit is better for a headline, not the first thing that your user sees. Chances are they already saw that bit when they clicked on your site. Show them immediately what you do and why they should choose you.

Just my $0.02

Thanks for your comments. You're right. There are some issues we must fix to improve the UX.

Nice site! Just two notes:

- The third FAQ should probably read: "So I’ve signed up… what’s next?" since all the other questions are formulated from the visitor's POV.

- When scrolling to the very bottom, there is a yellow 1-px-line between the FAQ and "Stay in touch" (FF 29.0.1, Win8)

This sounds great and extremely fun. Unfortunately that amount of time isn't going to work for many people. Do people have other recommendations for app redesigns? Any "night school" versions of this in Brooklyn? Maybe it's just best to find a great designer? I probably can't learn enough to compete with even a good designer.

Agreed. I'd be really happy to see more of these sort of workshops pop up.

Warning: If you spend any time looking at the The Surf Office site[^1], you're likely to be ruined for normal coworking spaces. The quality of life and affordability... wow. [^1]: http://www.thesurfoffice.com/

I can't imagine the productivity levels would be as high as a normal workspace. Seems like there are a tad too many things that will break your focus- which is what you need most when building a startup.
