Description
Ecosystem and Case Studies are strikingly original and attractive content -- and I'm concerned that because they're below the fold users will never see them.
I have suggestions to tighten the top of the page to pull at least one of them above the fold.
-
It's clear to readers that the boxes at the top are key features; the Key Features headline eats up space without adding content.
-
It's not crucial that the supporting text in those boxes always be displayed. The boxes can be turned into links, or if we're fancy can expand into boxes when clicked.
-
Finally,
Try NumPyis a tour-de-force -- but it's competing with other content for visibility, and we have to ask the hard question of how much we benefit from having it on page one. It can't show NumPy's single most important feature -- speed; though we've worked hard to dress it up, it's not graphically powerful; and it has no payoff unless the user stops reading to play with it, and we're not talking about pressing a button and watching. On a learning page -- it's killer. It's a beast. It needs the right home. On the home page, it can't add as much as Ecosystem and Case Studies do.
