As someone who's going to be buying a ton of shipping services, I really want something like this, the problem is that your website really doesn't give me an instant view of what I can actually do without diving right into the docs.

I bounced instead of doing all of that. The meat of your pitch is under the fold, and if I press "get started" - I have to sign-up to see anything. Let people see shit before!

"See how it works" should just scroll down below the fold (not to the docs!), and below this fold it should say what I can do in real terms. "Integrate faster" is too generic to be useful and all the tests are too developer-centric with curl calls being the "Try it now" option - instead of something I can play with as a non-dev, and you better believe the person actually looking for this service isn't a developer either.

I deal with sales / manufacturing engineering - not web work, but I'm the economic buyer trying to get this for our production line - I don't want to sift through your docs to see what calls / functionality I can get. A use case would be nice.

Just some unsolicited feedback.


Thanks! We'll incorporate this feedback into the site


Actually doing something similar for multiple package shipments on our site. Cool!


@jstreebin FYI most footer links on blog.easypost.com go nowhere
