FIT Forms – Shorten Your Forms Using Facebook Profile Info

24 thoughts on “FIT Forms – Shorten Your Forms Using Facebook Profile Info”

1. Visit https://www.jotform.com/fit-forms/. Spend no more than 5-10 seconds on the home page. What do you think the site is about?

   Name suggested that it was a site for losing weight with social networking assistance (which sounds counter-prodictive!). First glance looked like it was to streamline your facebook stuff. Given that at the moment it still looks like it is in concept form it is hard to tell what is really being done.

   Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.

   Again, site suggests weight lose with social networking until words like pixels and unnecessary fields show up. A bit confusing because of the ‘concept’ aspects to it. 

   Appearance in clean and easy-going. The text is easy to read and despite the orange/grey colour clash.  Everything is neat and uncluttered, though it also feels empty given the mass of grey in the background. The lean towards the ‘fun’ side with the comics and closing lines don’t seem to add much however to the overall impressions of a professional or serious utility. However, this may not be a problem given that it will most likely be smaller businesses or organizations or non-professional groups that use it most. 

   Not being able to shrink or remove the sidebar for the social ‘likes’ and ‘tweets’ is a disappointment, as the sidebar is distracting and does cut off parts of the site, requiring scrolling up/down to read everything. It is annoying and distracting after a while.

   The demo really provided clarity to what the program is about, demonstrating that with a facebook account one doesn’t need to fill out a lengthy information form to post a comment.  

   The directions on setting up an App on Facebook is fairly complete. However, not wanting to actually set up an App on Facebook, I cannot follow through on it, and don’t know what the final set up procedures would be. As well, no information available that tells you how FITForm fits onto your website.

   The ‘JotForm’ banner at the top threw me off. At first, I thought the menu selections where related to the FIT Forms site, and was clicking on them to find more information about the site and product, as well as seeing if there was a ‘demo’ form I could fill out.

   What do you find bothersome? What do you like?

   Downers: Again, the side tab was annoying after a while. There needs to be a way to make it go away. The sea of grey in the background makes the page feel empty and heartless, and I really didn’t want to stay around too long. The JotForms banner at the top needs to be better distinguished from the rest of the sit.
   Not having a ‘demo’ form I could fill out to see how it works was also a bummer. Maybe a demo website with a FITForm on it would help to allow us to see it in action?
   No information on how the FITForm ‘works’ on your site.

   Uppers: The demo was easy to use and understand. The concept looks feasible, because who likes filling out forms?

   Would you use it on your web site?

   I am not sure. Nor am I sure I would like to attach my facebook page to everything. If a site exclusively has FITForm I would not likely leave a comment because I do not wish to have myself ‘attached’ to different things (I have been tempted to set up a fake facebook account to comment on certain news and product sites but really don’t care to). That’s me, however. Logically thinking, however, this can be a useful addition to comment boards on a website.

   Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.

   Having seen countless websites/news sites with facebook linage to their comment boards, I am not sure if this adds anything to what it already out there outside of simplicity in setting it up. However, not knowing what needs to be embedded into a website’s architecture makes it hard to say if this product is worth the effort or not. No information seems available on the site that tells you how to place it on your website. Not having that is a bigs Downer.

   Of course, it is for comments like that you have people test your site and see how it works, isn’t it?

2. Feedback sought:

   Visit https://www.jotform.com/fit-forms/. Spend no more than 5-10 seconds on the home page. What do you think the site is about?
   

   In 5 to 10 seconds, I can only pick up that you have something to do with forms, and your tagline says “tighten your forms using facebook” but I have no clue how you define tighten. Maken them lean is another phrase I see. I appears that you mean by all of this to simplify forms down from several blanks to one open-ended form. But wouldn’t this make the data entry on my end more rather than less?

   Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.
   

   I like the color scheme of orange and light blue. Your tagline font is too small for my liking.

   What do you find bothersome? What do you like?
   

   I like that you have a lot of information plus a forum and a blog. I like the pricing page color scheme.

   Would you use it on your web site?
   

   I don’t have a website. Not applicable.

   Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.

   Navigation Problems/issues:
   I was reviewing your site and wanted to go back to your original landing homepage, however once browsing the navigation links, I do not seem to be able to get back to the fit-forms page from your current navigation buttons. Do you think anyone else will encounter this problem as well and why don’t you have a way of getting back to the original homepage?

   Now I appear to be withing the form builder, I have no clue how I got here (maybe clicking ‘My Forms’) but I did not want to go here. I don’t know how to use your software, and it would probably help if there was a “how to” video or tutorial.

   One potential downside is if a client does not wish to use Facebook, is there an alternative solution currently in place for said client?

3. Visit https://www.jotform.com/fit-forms/. Spend no more than 5-10 seconds on the home page. What do you think the site is about?
   At first glance, it definitely looks like a weight loss site because of the verbiage (“I was 130 lbs overweight”) and the graphics of the scale and tape measure.  If I were a typical user, I would probably think this was some sort of calorie counting app that would piggyback off of Facebook. 
   
   Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.  What do you find bothersome? What do you like?
   The colors are a bit jarring (maybe you were going for that effect?), and I personally think the orange and dark gray at the bottom of the page look better than the orange and the blue at the top.
   The drawings towards the bottom of the page divert your attention away from the text.
   I would take the ruler out altogether, it reinforces the weight loss theme and is strangely distracting – it feels like an arrow that should be pointing at some highly relevant content on the page but doesn’t. 
   Homepage has an overall lighthearted feel to it, which again, you may have intended that.  However, I tend to exit pages that don’t appear to be professional.
   The fact that every link on the top and bottom nav bar takes you to a Jotform.com page is very confusing.  Are you a joint effort?  An affiliate?  The about info and User Guide explains what Jotform.com is and how to create forms, but I don’t understand the connection between Jotform and Fit Forms.  I’m actually not even absolutely sure who the target audience is, but I’m guessing web designers.
   
   I was unable to locate the fit forms page from the jotform.com home page. 
   Would you use it on your web site?
   If I had a website, maybe.  I don’t know how much I would trust that someone’s Facebook info is correct.
   Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
   There are many sites out there that allow you to piggyback off your Facebook account, and I have used that feature more than once.  It certainly makes things much easier on the user.  Do you have any plans to expand to any other social media platforms?  Strange as it may seem, I actually know several people that do not have Facebook accounts, under the age of 75 no less.  And with all the privacy issues that constantly arise over Facebook, this might not appeal to a wide range of users.  Overall it looks like a worthwhile and useful product, but the presentation of this page doesn’t really hammer that home. 
   

4. What do you think the site is about?
   From a brief look at the home page, it seems like FIT Forms offers businesses an app that enables them to transfer a user’s Facebook info to their own web site so that users don’t have to fill out long registration forms.
    
   Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.
   Home Page: The first thing that stands out to me is the “Create Your Fit Form Now!” banner. Unfortunately, it covers part of your introductory copy, so I can’t read what seems like essential info about your site. As I scroll down, I see a “Before and After” screen capture, a button linking to a demo, a testimonial, and then a bunch of copy. This is all stuff I’d like to see, but the layout on the page looks jumbled and random. I’d suggest you arrange the page as follows:

   1. Make the “Create Your Fit Form Now” banner into a smaller button and and move it below your intro copy so that it’s not covering the text.
   2. Move the “See the Demo!” button up alongside the “Create Your Fit Form Now” button so that users immediately see two options–view a demo and sign up.
   3. Remove the “Before and After” from the home page. It’s too much here. Create a page called “How It Works” or something similar and move this screen capture there.
   4. In place of the “Before and After” screenshot, move up your selling points. You might even try making a slideshow out of them. I’ll admit that I’m not totally crazy about the cartoonish images that accompany them. If your market is businesses, these illustrations look kind of silly and unprofessional. In addition, the copy itself really stretches the pun between the word “FIT” and the idea of losing weight and getting in shape. It’s a cute idea, but the execution is overdone. I suspect this will confuse some people.
   5. Move the testimonial to the bottom of the page or to a separate page of testimonials.
   6. I know you want people to like you on Facebook and tweet about you, but the Facebook and Twitter buttons should really be confined to a permanent place, either in the margin, at the top of the page, or at the bottom of the page. The way they move with the scroll bar is distracting.
    
   By the way, I clicked the “Create Your Form Now!” banner and was surprised to see that I needed an “application ID” and was then redirected to Facebook to purchase an app. If this is your app, how come I can’t get it on your web site? That seemed a little strange. Maybe I don’t know enough about Facebook, though. I don’t participate in it.

   On my second pass through, I also clicked the demo button, and now I see that your screen capture is actually the demo! Ok. The demo itself is a good illustration of what FIT Forms does, but it’s taking up way too much space on the home page. You should have it appear only when a visitor clicks the demo button. At the very least, minimize it to a small window that expands when clicked.
    
   My Forms: Looks like a dashboard for members who already have accounts. Surprised that this is accessible without registering.
    
   FAQ, User Guide, Forum, Blog, and Pricing: I feel like I’m not on the same web site anymore. All of these pages are about JotForm rather than about FIT Forms. Plus, I see no way to get back to the FIT Forms page from any of these other pages. Seems like you might need to create a separate site for FIT Forms with its own FAQ, user guide, forum, and so forth.
    
   What do you find bothersome? What do you like?
   Bothersome: The general home page layout, the way the “Create Your Fit Form Now!” banner covers vital copy, the amateurish cartoons since this is being targeted to web businesses, and the copy, which overstretches the metaphor to the point that it’s probably going to confuse visitors and make them think your site has something to do with diet or exercise. The fact that the rest of the site seems to be about JotForm instead of FIT Forms.
    
   Like: The concept of an app that enables web sites to register and sign in their users through Facebook. I think a lot of users will find that more convenient than going through a long registration process, so web businesses should benefit from favorable user response. However, if I’m not mistaken, there are already programs that enable this.
    
   Would you use it on your web site?
   Not at this point, no. My web site doesn’t require registration to use, so it wouldn’t be helpful to me. However, if I should require registration in the future, something like this could be useful. As I said, though, I think there are other services out there that enable users to register at sites through Facebook, so I don’t know why I should use yours instead of theirs.
    
   Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
   FIT Forms is obviously in Beta, and you don’t really have a site for it yet, just one page. It would probably be easier to comment if you had a whole site put together. However, from what I’ve seen, you could have a beneficial service, but, as I said, I think there are other services like yours out there. You need to sell us on yours. What makes it different? And again, the one page you have now, which is functioning as a home page, could really use some layout changes.

5. Visit https://www.jotform.com/fit-forms/. Spend no more than 5-10 seconds on the home page. What do you think the site is about?
   My first thought was that the site was about creating forms for my site and using facebook (somehow) to gather information about the person signing up. The very first question in my head what exactly was this about. Then I thought that it may help people to fill boring data such as city, country or other personal data thaty already have in FB and use it in my form. Don’t know if I got it right or not, these are simply thoughts running through my head.
   After the page loaded (it took a little while because I’m using a slow connection) I went down and I saw this tag line “I lost 130 lbs” message and I thought “Is this about weight loss?” It took me a few seconds to realize that it was just an irony, a bit of sense of humour added to the page.
   The tag lines may lead to confusion. I appreciate the humouristic aspect and I love it but for a few seconds I was not sure what the site was about and I’m not sure that if that’s good.
   Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.
   The clean layout and the vibrant blue are fine and goes perfect with the orange action buttons. Good to see the major social netwrok buttons and the navigation menu is easily found. I would change the demoe a bit. On my screen, when the page loads, I only see the top area of the demo. The button is hidden and not visible until I scroll down. I think that the demo should be more prominent.
   Not sure that I like the change on language when I click on my forms. I could understand if the whole site was translated into my own language but if I click on anything other section then I go back to English. I find this a bit annoying. I guess I would like to be given the option to choose my language.
   Visited the forum and other sectiosn and everything looks OK. I do find the left navigation menus a bit too tight, not enough room between lines and also between links. It looks slightly too crowsed.
   This is probably because there is plenty of room on the rest of the page.
   What do you find bothersome? What do you like?
   I found a bit annoying to be changed to Spanish when I clicked on “My forms”. I like that idea of being able to create my form in Spanish for my Spanish public, but I would also would like to have the option to choose some other language.
   Also, it doesn’t make much sense if the rest of the site is not translated so…
   I would add this note to the form examples. It is nice to have forms in Spanish but they’re not fully translated so it looks a bit strange.
   Of course, I would be great if I could create forms in any language I chose to so I could target specific public who speak different languages.
   In general, I find the site easy to use, and that includes the form creation tool. Even without reading the guide, I could create my form in minutes. Pretty straight forward. Love some of the themes. Simple and elegant.
   Of course, I like the free option, too 😀
   I also like that you thought of different payment methods.
   Would you use it on your web site?
   It is a very good option and I’m building a new site… I think I may give it a try. I do need to read the guide first though. I’m a bit worried about things like getting the information out of your system to integrate it in my own systems or if my customer adds a file and I want to back it up in my own computer, among other things.
   Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
   I think that the idea is simply brilliant and although other services offer the possibility of allowing your customers to log into your site using facebook, I haven’t seen a service like this (haven’t searched for itk, to be honest). But I like it.
   I wouldn’t mind some demos (video tutorials) of diferent cases and situations to view the full potential of the serivce.
   What would happen if the person filling the form didn’t want to use his FB account? would I be forced to have a second form (a traditional one)?
   I also have questions on my own :D. Example: In your faqs you mention that it can be used to sell goods and stuff but… does this mean that it can be integrated into a shopping cart? or maybe used as a shopping cart? And does this make sense? If I’m using a shopping cart software, I’m supposed to have this options too.
   Should I have a button saying “save time filling the form by allowing us to gather this info from your FB account?
   Well, I could write a few more questions. These are just an example but I insist that I haven’t read the guide yet so they may have been answered already.
   All in all, I like the service and well done.

6. Visit https://www.jotform.com/fit-forms/. Spend no more than 5-10 seconds on the home page. What do you think the site is about?
   A site that helps you to automatically fill web data forms from Facebook accounts.

   Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.
   The looks and color are fine, nothing spectacular. It heavily reminds me on business software sites, probably because of the window screenshots, which might be intentional. The cartoonish elements stand out a bit, but not that much to break the overall impression. The semi-serious presentation is somewhat unique for this type of product, but I see no problem with that since from my experience web programmers are usually not the most serious people either.
   The main page is pretty much one big demo, but I can’t think of anything else you would need here. The demo itself is also nice, however I’ve found it more entertaining than helpful, since for me the “before and after” picture alone made it quite clear.

   What do you find bothersome?
   I think that you try a bit too hard to tell the basic feature of the site (FB login integration to forms) while saying nothing about the more technical details. All this while your target audience would be website developers, who will be interested in those details.

   What do you like?
   The idea looks nice, and it’s presented clearly (unless I got it all wrong of course, see below).

   Would you use it on your web site?
   My web site has no forms, it doesn’t need any. But this looks interesting and could surely save lots of time when building forms (and not only to those who will fill it). My only concern is that the site doesn’t tell it how and in what format will I receive the submissions. I’m guessing it’s like at JotForm, but it’s not said anywhere.

   Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
   I’m a bit lost at a point and the site doesn’t say anything about it. It says everywhere that this will help me to fill my forms from a Facebook login, but AFAIK I can do that anyway. So if I get it right, this is in fact a tool that lets me insert JotForm forms instead of mine and automatically fill the appropriate fields from FB account data. But than why don’t you say that?
   Another thing is that I was really trying to get some details, so I was happy to find the FAQ, User Guide, etc. up top which is nice and detailed indeed. Only to realize that those are about JotForm “classic” and that they say exactly nothing about FIT Forms. It’s very misleading, and even gives a huge contrast to the absolute lack of information about FIT Forms’ mechanics.
   Also, what happens if a user happens to not have a Facebook account, do you provide any alternative (eg. manual) way to fill in the data, or such users are just out of luck?

7. Visit https://www.jotform.com/fit-forms/. Spend no more than 5-10 seconds on the home page. What do you think the site is about?

   I believe the point intended is to shows how  this site to makes it easy for people to fill out forms.
   
   Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.
   
   The site is not that professional to me. I would be hesitant to put my information on these forms questioning my privacy and security of my information.

   What do you find bothersome?

   I didn’t like the elementary illustrations, they made me question the credibility of the site, making me wonder if this is a site that I can really trust with my information, no matter how easy and simple they make it seem to fill out the forms and submit your information. Also for the clients they are trying to target I feel as they should have provided more techinal information. The demo basically provides the same information as the cover of the site.
   
   What do you like?

   I like how easy it seem to be to fill out the forms for the convience of the potential clients.
   
   Would you use it on your web site?

   I think the concept or idea is very well taken, yes if I had a website I would exercise this idea. The FQA providing sufficient information so I like this.

   Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.

   The tools that they are providing to make it easier to fill out these forms, most people can do this from their own pc. In my tool bar there is already a way for me to put in all my information and automatically when I’m filling out forms it fills it in for me. This works for me on all sites that I enter to fill out forms, Facebook etc.

8. Visit https://www.jotform.com/fit-forms/. Spend no more than 5-10 seconds on the home page. What do you think the site is about?
   This site is about making forms easier, shorter and quicker using facebook. At first glance of your site I thought it was about tracking ones weight lose for forms rather then making forms easier to use.
   
   Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.
   The tagline of your site is almost unoticeable. The scale on the site is very deceiving even with the jot forms at the top of the page it still seem like weight loss tracking forms. I only get a clear description of what your site is about until I read the description text right below your sites tagline. I ilke that your feature a before and after section, it’s nice to see what exactly your site can do to revamp a form. You have a nice pop of color but the jot form and tagline section  lack the tying in of the blue color. Again with the ruler on your homepage it still makes me think of fitness.
   
   What do you find bothersome? What do you like?
   As I stated before I really like the colors of your site. The black, blue and orange really work together to create a nice color product. However I don’t think that the colors are balanced. You started with black, then have a rich pop of blue with orange accents. Then you have a stream of white which is not to bad being that there is text written. Then you have a box that is a light bluish green color trimmed in blue with looks totally odd being that that color is not featured on the site anywhere. Then you end with orange which is not the color that you started with.
   You have a testimonial on your site that again seems like weight loss and it looks like someone from your company just made that up. Especially when you see it signed jon doe. The whole sound of the testimonial seems to go with what your trying to get across in your description and not a real person’s review of your site.
   The grapics of people on your site really brings your site down and makes it look unprofessional. Adding to that when you make comments like lay down and take a stock photo. Up until then, under the save time section, I really like what you were saying then you just totally lost me. Then there’s Ello and the and not some automated bots. Well, unless it’s a fake account. Well if in fact it is a fake account what can your site do, since your raised the issue? I don’t mind humor to a site but it still has to fit a professional standard and coincide with what your site actually does. I must say I just get lost in the corny humor of your site and might not take it seriously. Don’t mean to be rude but it makes me think of a smart kid acting stupid. Your humor takes away to what great things your site might be able to do. Instead of so many jokes i would like to see more information and or samples and or benfits that fit forms can bring.
   The faqs and user page is very beneficial, well done.
   Once I start using the tabs located at the top of the page I am unable to get back to the homepage. It seems to almost turn into a whole other webite. After I starting browsing info on your tabs one can easily forget fit forms and think of only jot forms.
   Would you use it on your web site?
   I don’t have a website but I can see how it can be useful.
   
   Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
   Fit forms seems to be a branch of jot forms but using it to enhance forms of facebook. Is that correct?  Is there anyway to use fit forms with out having a facebook account. I see that you have have a sample on your homepage but it would be nice to see more sample or even a video. Your sample is a little cut off with the before and after box. Your site seems to be a winner just give more insite on how it works.

9. Visit https://www.jotform.com/fit-forms/. Spend no more than 5-10 seconds on the home page. What do you think the site is about? I think the site is a form building site.
    
   Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site. The first and immediate thing that catches my eye is the bar on the right hand side of the page.  (The Twitter bar)   It seems to block my view of the site.  Not my total view, but just enough to be annoying.   The second thing that catches my eye is the humor of the site.  I love the play on words of weight loss!   I love the fact that there is a free Basic account.   The colors, the fonts, the Blog, everything else appears to be great.
   After watching the short movie tutorial for beginners, I feel that the form builder would be very easy to use and incorporate into a website of my own.  Instructions are good, clear and concise.
    
   I have a question as to the Contact Us Form.  Does this automatically post my question into the forum, if so, is it possible to contact anyone for support without it being made public?  I might have missed this information, but I always prefer a private way to Contact.
    
   What do you find bothersome? What do you like? Well, the first thing I notice that bothers me is the bar on the homepage, on the right hand side, as mentioned above.  It seems to be in my way of the view of the homepage.  I can’t read the print that it blocks.  The second thing I find bothersome is the fact that once I am on various pages in the site, I am unable to get back to the homepage.  I click on the title, Jot Form at the top of the website, hoping that it takes me back to the homepage, but it does not.  I cannot find a way to get back there.
   I love the overall colors, font, style, layout, sense of humor.  It’s very eye catching and it makes me want to delve further into the site.
   Pricing is great.   I like the 30-day Money Back Guarantee.
    
   Would you use it on your web site? I think I would be interested in using the form builder on my site.  I have tried out other various free form builders in the past, but they have always seemed so unprofessional to me.  This site seems to be of a more professional style.
    
   Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have. Other than what I have posted above,  the only other thing I can say is to commend you on having an iPhone App for this site.    I do love this site and look forward to using it on my professional website.

10. Visit https://www.jotform.com/fit-forms/. Spend no more than 5-10 seconds on the home page. What do you think the site is about?
    At first glance it is hard to see what the site is really for, all I see is places where someone puts personal information. As I take a few more seconds to view it, it is clear it is a way to make forms easier, by using facebook.

    
    Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.
    The layout of the site is great, if you are targeting younger viewers. I mean the site to me is a little bare, it needs to be more professionally looking.  Also, the weight scale and some of the other things that are written on the home page is a little misleading. I mean if someone where to first come across it they would immediately deviate  from it because they might think it is a weight loss web site.

    What do you find bothersome? What do you like?
    The main thing I find bothersome is that just by first glance , an individual may not take this site seriously. I do like the colors and setup for a more younger crowd because it is colorful and easy to use. Also, I like the forums and the blogs because everyone loves to share their opinion and this is a great way to do that. This site needs a way to get back quickly to the home page and it does not have that. A person should be able to do that by clicking on the title Jot Form at the very top of the page, like most web pages do.
    
    Would you use it on your web site?
    If there were some minor changes I would consider using it on my website. It needs to be a little more professional looking.
    Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
    All I can say is, keep the simplicity of the site , but loose the juvenilism. 
    

11. Visit https://www.jotform.com/fit-forms/. Spend no more than 5-10 seconds on the home page. What do you think the site is about?

    The page appears to be about getting into shape by using a website.  There seemed to be some type of connection to facebook in order to be fit and in shape.  It appeared to be very interesting but confusing.

    Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.

    The home page is colorful and interesting but it is not straightforward or clear enough.  I would like to see one or two slogans to say exactly what the page is about.  I just had a hard time getting the idea of the page by looking at the homepage. The FAQ page and other parts of the site were not registering well when I read them.  It took a lot of reading in order to understand the idea of the page.  I saw jotform and read everything but I am still not sure exactly how it relates to the page.

    What do you find bothersome? What do you like?

    I found the fact that the site was hard to understand to be bothersome.  I like when I look at a site and know what it is about immediately.  This site just confused me the more that I looked at it.  However, I did like the colors and menu at the top right of the screen.

    Would you use it on your web site?

    I honestly am not sure whether I would use the site.  I like when sites tell me exactly what they are about in a very clear format as soon as I open the page.  I am not able to decide whether I would use it until I get a better understanding of it and how it could make me benefit.

    Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.

    I don’t think the idea of the site is bad or good.  I just think it is very unclear.  I like the colors and the menus and the blog.  I just think that clarity is a key in making a website.  I think that readers of the site should be able to understand the site and want to use it immediately.  This would help to have lots of hits on the site.

    My first impression was this was a web tool for modifying my Facebook account.  The look and feel of the page didn’t clue me in that it was for web masters and not for the general public.

    Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.
    I like the “before and after” part of the site.  It shows clearly what would be the difference after your service was used.  Your single testimonial seems to be trying to put a bit of humor too close to the beginning of the pitch.  It might be suited further down.  The added bonuses at the bottom of the page is a nice, friendly-feeling touch.

    What do you find bothersome? What do you like?
    I found the unmodified form’s title of “Heart-Warming Fake Marketing Testimonials” to be a little off-putting.  It seems to be mocking the people that you would be targeting for your service.  The color scheme is pleasing, as are the cartoons.

    Would you use it on your web site?
    I may consider it if I was looking for a lot of feedback from a younger, web-savvy crowd.  They would be a lot more likely to respond if there were fewer lines to fill out. 

    Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
    Very good idea.  I think that the “weight loss” angle should be downplayed a bit, and the idea of a single box for a response played up.

13. Visit https://www.jotform.com/fit-forms/. Spend no more than 5-10 seconds on the home page. What do you think the site is about?

    This site seems to be about making web forms using Facebook or Twitter.
     

    Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.

    Creating a Fit Form is rather simple with a step by step tutorial to guide through the process.  There are also plenty of opportunities for feedback and testimonials.  I also enjoyed the subtle humor throughout.  It makes the site fun to work with. 
     

    What do you find bothersome? What do you like?

    I had difficulty knowing what to do at times, despite the tutorial, because the tutorial was not consistent with the screens I ran into while trying to develop the Fit Form with Facebook.  But I definitely like the idea of having the tutorial, and where the tutorial was consistent with the screens I encountered, it worked wonderfully for me. 

    Would you use it on your web site?

    Yes, I would use a Fit Form on the web site.

    Overall, Fit Form seems well-thought-out and user-friendly, although there appear to be a few glitches with the Form tutorial.

    Visithttps://www.jotform.com/fit-forms/. Spend no more than 5-10 seconds on the home page. What do you think the site is about?

    
    At first I thought the site was about weight loss but then it became clear that it was about making forms “fitter” ie, more lightweight, less troublesome, etc.
    

    Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.

    
    The header is too large and take up too much visual area, same goes with the example form. I like the color scheme and general graphic feel. Same with the illustrations.
    

    What do you find bothersome? What do you like?

    
    The “getting fit” imagery is over the top and too gimmicky. Graphic quality is good but there’s too much relevant content below the fold. I’d like to see all of that information compressed and displayed in a single screen-sized space
    

    Would you use it on your web site?

    
    Probably not. I may be misunderstanding exactly what this site offers but it seems like the only “service” is keeping people from adding redundant input fields which you don’t need if you’re already collecting the data from FB. Are the forms really fit or are they just Facebook?
    

    Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.

    
    If the above isn’t the case then I’m missing what’s relevant about the site. This would mean the site’s meaning could be clearer.

     

16. Visit https://www.jotform.com/fit-forms/. Spend no more than 5-10 seconds on the home page. What do you think the site is about?
    Initially I didn’t have a clue as to what was going on. I knew it had something to do with facebook, but the words like FIT and LEAN just threw me off. So I automatically figure it has something to do with getting “fit” with the aid of facebook, being that so much of us sit down all day in front of out computers on facebook. A few seconds later I stumble-upon the part that says “Before and After”, (which I admit is a bit hard to see, blends in too much with the background), then I realized that the site was primarily based on minimizing the ‘questionnaire’/ ‘Forms’ on facebook.

    Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.

    – Well on the first instance the graphics are a bit too bland for my taste.
    – The scale beside the name Fit Forms complements the theme of the site perfectly, but I’m not too impressed by the ruler in the center of the background.
    – The “Before & After” is a bit too difficult to see in my view. To me the colors should be more dominant so that it stands out more, especially being that it is such a vital part of the site, as it show/demonstrates the whole purpose of the site. Probably using orange and black would serve you better instead of using grey and white.

    What do you find bothersome? What do you like?
    – I found the site bar extremely bothersome, well more annoying more than anything. It was just a bit too chunky.
    – Jot Form at the extreme top was a bit bothersome, as initially i thought it was related to the site. It would probably be best if it was located at the bottom of the site.
    – What was the most annoying was the testimonial written by John Doe, Alabama. I just found it utterly confusing. I figured that he was trying to be funny, but it just reminded me about the initial confusing…”is this site about losing weight or is it about slimming facebook forms”, especially when he said, “I was 130 lbs before I met Fit Forms”.
    – I really liked the demo it was so cool. Really simple and clear, effectively demonstrating the purpose of the site.

    Would you use it on your web site?
    Most definitely yes. It’s extremely simple, straight to the point and saves a lot of time.

    Additional Comments
    I thought the site was pretty cool. A bit too simple/focused to really attract me…’I mean you could only go to the site to do 1 thing and 1 thing only right’. But, apart from that I like the concept, as I along with a lot of people are way too impatient to fillout out such an exorbitant forms just to say a few simple words.

     

17. Visit https://www.jotform.com/fit-forms/. Spend no more than 5-10 seconds on the home page. What do you think the site is about?

    The site seems to be related to online Web forms, but then the references to weight loss throw me off a bit.

    Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.

    The site logo is very large on the home page, and it’s strange that it’s given such prominent placement in the center of the page. Is that because of a lack of real content?

    Also, the scale shown in the logo is confusing. This looks like a health or weight loss site!

    I greatly appreciate the demonstration shown on the home page. That’s very helpful. Most sites don’t put that much effort into explaining the product. AFter the demo is run, my eyes totally glaze over the statement “So, make lives easier. Get FIT!” that appears above the “Create Your Fit Form Now!” button, possibly because of the color of the text. It doesn’t really seem necessary anyway.

    I generally like the blue and orange color scheme, and the clean, mostly uncluttered layout of the site. I think there is too much text on the top part of the page, and the font on the “Make your forms lean using Facebook!” statement is difficult to read. I’m not really sure that it or the statement beneath it (“Use Facebook to save time, shorten your forms and validate people.”) is even really necessary. Less is definitely more here.

    What do you find bothersome? What do you like?

    The most bothersome element on the home page is the floating container with the Tweet, +1 and Like buttons. On my screen it blocks the first letters of the “Make your forms lean using Facebook!” statement. Would it be better to place those buttons at the top of the page, where it doesn’t potentially block other content? You can move the logo to the top left of the screen and have plent of room for those share buttons on the right side. Just a thought.

    I definitely like the demo, but the “Heartwarming Fake Marketing Testimonials!” title above it is a bit off-putting. Do you really want to use the term “fake” in relation to your product? It just seems suspicious.

    Now let’s get the bizarre content beneath the demo. The fake quotation from “John Doe” in Alabama is confusing and misleading. I know this is supposed to be cute and clever but I just don’t think it does any favors, and in fact, may hurt the site in the long run. Why would I trust a site with intentionally misleading statements on its home page? Kind of strange.

    I don’t really understand the purpose of the reclining man image and the disembodied head saying “Ello”, and I’m even more confused as to the point of the image of the man at the very bottom of the page. It looks like two different Web pages spliced together, with the top half from one site and the bottom from another.

    The placement of the images and the text in this area is also somewhat difficult to follow. It would be better if all the text was flush left. When I’m visiting a Web site, if I even bother to read this type of information, I want to be able to scan it as quickly as possible, and that means having it ordered in a straight line down the screen.

    The information in the box saying “Start using FIT forms today and you’ll also get:” is cute, I suppose, but completely wasted space, and the attributes listed are either completely bogus or too wordy.

    Would you use it on your web site?

    I would not, as I am wary of allowing Facebook to encroach in I or other people’s lives anymore than it already has, and I personally feel Facebook’s utility and dominance is on the decline. I have been actively reducing my activity on Facebook for several months, and intend to delete my one account there as soon as possible, so this would not be a service I would use on my own Web site(s).
    Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.

    I think this is a good concept if you can remove the bizarre “humorous” aspects of the site and just be straightforward and honest with visitors. The product seems solid enough, and the demo on the home page is a great tool for promoting it, but some of the other elements on the site negate much of that. My overall advice for this site would be too keep it simple, and let the product sell itself.
