I am curious if I could get some feedback on the website http://www.confusinghomework.com

Thanks!

It's extremely well designed (in my opinion). The app design is not as nice. I had to scan for a sec to figure out exactly the pitch but even then details are scarce so I would try to emphasize the quick overview easier like "Free Tutoring" or something and expand from there.

I thought the subjects below were clickable to expand into each but weren't. Would be nice to know what is covered since its there. Also who is the target, high school, college, or both?

Some questions off the top of my head is why is it free, what's the catch. FAQ for this would be nice. The current FAW doesn't address this. If I had to guess, some book sale/rental referral or maybe a freemium service, but that's blindly guessing.

Overall, pretty nice. The hard part is whether or not students will engage.

Thank you for the feedback! I will looking into explaining more in-depth and see what I can add. With the tutoring it is free because we pay for it with adds. We don't currently have ads up right now but later in the future they will appear. However for the students they will never need to pay to use any of our services!

It's very orange. But overall it's very nicely designed and looks very professional. Maybe make the links in the footer a little darker? But I'm pretty sure that's not the best use of your time. :)
