Hello everyone!
I am a retired IT professional and decided to learn new technologies. So I used WWB to create my very first website. Not having a lot of web developement experience, I really need feedback on this one. I also need
users since the more people use the site, the more useful it becomes.
I know the UI probably needs work but also provide me feedback on how to improve appeal and effectiveness of the site. I need to determine if it can be successful and useful or shut it down and move on.

Thank you all.

Interesting site.
Do you need to have an account to respond to a survey? If not, I can't see how to do that (I only checked the aliens one).

Alan, yes, you do need an account. The
Welcome line under the banner and the
Quick Links mention that so I'm glad your're asking because that tells me it's not obvious enough. Registration does not ask for private info like phone# or adrress or any payment, and you can use any nickname you want. I didn't want privacy risks.

OK. For me, responding to a poll should not need a login. Maybe select/enter a name, but not an account. Creating a poll, yes, I can see the need for an account.

Thanks for the feedback, Alan, it's valuable. I see your point but SOS is more akin to a Forum than an anonymous Survey site. As you know, you have to register to any forum before answering a post, same with SOS. The main driver of SOS is value-add of response breakdowns. Registered users input demographical information such as job/career, age group, gender, etc. So all survey responses are then shown by those factors. It's nice to see 50% of respondents answered B) but it's so much more powerful to know 75% of men answered C) or 64% of Brazilians answered A), and so on. Without asking people to register, this type of survey analysis would be impossible and I want all the SOS community to have access to that. So far as I know, this is the type of research data that marketing companies charge big bucks to have access to.
Thanks again for the feedback.
