I love this idea. I love the site. I hate that 3 minutes of searching didn't reveal to me the price. I'm going back to search a bit more.

Huh? Front page, under the first headline, it's the second paragraph of text on the landing page. $11/month.

Oh wow. That's bad. It's in small font buried in a pargraph of text. The price really needs to be in big letters somewhere. Clicking buy doesn't even point out the price.

(Subscribe page has no price anywhere that I see : http://www.sotmclub.com/subscribe)

Design feedback: Your 'buy now' and 'learn more' buttons on the homepage are very hard to see. They need to stand out. Make them bigger and bolder, or change the color (red would stand out much more and still fit into your overall theme), or fade out the background slightly. Or, ideally, do more than one of those things. You really don't want those buttons to be hard to see.

Cost and details of what you get should be listed prominently on the signup page. I see the cost on the homepage, but only after looking really hard. You need details on what kinds of socks you're going to be sending out. Pictures seem essential for something like this. (Don't make me go looking for them. Make them bigger.) Your 'learn more' page desperately needs actual information as well.

This is the second comment about not being able to find the price. I saw it on the first visit, but perhaps making it more visible (even with just a different color) might be helpful. Maybe A/B the current page with one with more prominent price placement?

Agree with tseabrooks. If nowhere else on the site (why not?), the price should be large on the subscribe page.
