Soooo excited to launch this :) Would love to hear your feedback.
I like it already, and am already working on the xcode badge. Curious: what's the business model?

Feedback: Have no idea what Treehouse is, clicked the site, took 300ms to look at the 3 giant buttons. Clicked "web design" (the site looks very nice BTW) ... and started learning about web design. Watched the first video, hit the only button "Let's Go" and found a collection of other videos to get me further down the path of web design, letting me skip directly to my problems areas instead of grinding through things…
I totally agree with your point. However, unlike you, I didn't click on anything because (a) my time is valuable and I can't waste it on a site which may not provide value to me and (b) I don't trust web sites which don't explicitly tell me what they do or have an obvious "About" link on the home page. Please add a sentence or two at the top of the page to tell me your target audience and why I should use the site.

That's exactly the first question that came to my mind. When I don't see a "plans and pricing" link, I always start wondering where's the catch.
When you click the "Sign Up" link it takes you there. Either $25/month or $40/month. The cheapest you can get away with is $300/year.

So, you guys just launched... are those testimonials made up?

Looks good. $25/mo seems too much. Can't take any sample tests without paying $25.

Just wanted to take a moment and thank you for the attention to detail in that you included closed captioning for the sample videos on the site -- it's something I rarely expect to see and I'm always very pleasantly surprised when it's there. Is that something that'll be carrying over to the rest of the videos on the site?
