Pretty much everything I know I've learned from the internet or from books I found on the internet... but for some reason I had not found your site until just now from this post! It looks really nice so I'm going to start reading it.
Actually, now that I think about it, I probably have come across your site before but I think I may have exited out after a quick glance at the front page. Maybe I'm crazy but when I first look at your site it seems like I have to sign up for some sort of service to access the content. I hate signing up for services, free or otherwise. The first thing I see is
'Math without endless memorization.
Instead of memorizing procedures, learn why equations work. This site helps you overcome mental roadblocks and truly grasp new concepts.'
and then a box right below it asking me to give you my email. If I press pagedown I get to a section titled 'blog posts' (in my mind not the actual content I would be looking for) and then at the very top of the page I see the horizontal navigation bar, but none of the titles really read 'click here to learn cool stuff for free'. By this point I've probably left your website. Something to think about, definitely going to start reading your site and I really respect what you do.
The newsletter is fully optional, basically to get alerted to new articles & other site news. The homepage should be fully scrollable with a big list of articles, you can also check out:
for a visual guide. That said, I'll definitely think about rewording things, and I've long wanted to make a "Getting started" section for students, teachers, parents, etc. Really appreciate the feedback!
