Say what you honestly thought

You look at a website, product, or design for the first time and write down your real reaction: what you thought it was, what confused you, what you would do next.

What you might be asked to do

  • First impressions of a landing page, in writing
  • Try to complete one task on a site and report where you got stuck
  • Say which of two versions is clearer, and why

What you need

  • Ability to write a few honest paragraphs
  • Willingness to say a thing is confusing when it is
  • No prior familiarity with the product you are reviewing

The jobs, and what they pay

These are the exact jobs people can book today. The price is fixed before anyone accepts, and so is the deadline.

First-impression review — site or product, written notes

$50 · finish within 24h

What the job asks for

  • One website, product, or design, seen for the first time
  • What the reviewer thought it was for, before reading closely
  • What they would click first, and what they expected to happen
  • Where they became confused, bored, or gave up

Never part of the job

  • Formal usability testing, statistical validity, or a participant panel
  • Accessibility auditing or conformance testing
  • Visual design critique from a trained designer, unless that is who is sourced
  • Recorded sessions, screen capture, or eye tracking

Reaction panel — three people, written first impressions

$135 · finish within 3 days

What the job asks for

  • Three reviewers, each seeing it for the first time and writing independently
  • The same prompt given to each, so answers are comparable
  • Each set of notes delivered in full, unedited
  • A short summary of where the three agreed and where they diverged

Never part of the job

  • Any claim of statistical significance — three people is three people
  • Demographic targeting or screening beyond a stated audience
  • Recorded or live sessions
  • Follow-up questions to the reviewers after delivery

How you get paid

Per job, at a rate we agree with you before your first one. The money is already paid and held before the job reaches you, so there is nobody to chase afterwards.

There is no automatic payment system yet — we pay you directly. That is one of the things that will change as this grows, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise.

If a job is not right

Say so and it is cancelled with a reason. Whoever booked it gets their money back in full. Turning down work you should not take costs you nothing here, and it is better than doing it badly.
