1st impression of Awesomic Big Road Blocked experience!
There is a new age (as claimed by them) design platform or service called awesomic.com (I got to know about them via daryl ginn's portal: Godly Job Board) for my surprise this web platform is financially backed by Y combinator
I had a big bad experience with the so called new age design service enablers. They showoff so much in visual design and copywriting but beneath the skin it's a pretty bad experience for the visiting talent or candidates.
"Initially, I was so thrilled that finally I discovered such a useful service where... there is a chance to get some interesting freelance work without too much of hassle. "
So, I set out to explore the platform visually and by the copywriting it looked desirable so I made my mind to register in the talent section.
Then, only all the makeup came apart! Here is my user journey... see the blocks written below in bolds.
I excitedly, read their Terms and conditions... filled all the signup and application details.... then I get this message.
Okay, no problem! ... but you just wasted my hope, time and energy.
Since they have given an Email address to contact... I thought to give them some feedback via Email.
So, written to them... and get this Gmail system delivery message.Do you want to know what exactly I had written in the Email?
"Hi Team awesomic,
your portal and service is unique with a very friendly tone of voice in the
copywriting.
You are working with AI algorithms but I just wasted 30 to 40 minutes to fill all the
signup and application details.... then I get this message.
You should be able to tell the visitor applicant that your location is not serviceable at
the moment... It's an annoying example of your portal's User Experience... If we
put it straight, bad UX!
wasting time and energy of the visitor asking to sign up... fill the application then
pop a message "we don't work with the location by now."
Thank you!
just thought to let you know
so that other visiting applicants may be saved by an annoying and frustrating
experience."
