Product? Vimeo

What does it do? You know when you meet an awesome girl (great talks, you’re so good together) and after a couple of months you find out she has a VERY pretty sister? Youtube is your GF, Vimeo the pretty sister.

Vimeo home page

Vimeo home page

  • Beautiful video in the background: really captures what the site offers
  • No focus on signing up with Facebook, which is interesting

Choose account plan

Vimeo plan chooser

  • Plans and prices are way down the page
  • It is really early in the process to start paying money (why would I do that at this point)
  • Annoying that it says here that in order to have the uncluttered and ad-free experience I have to upgrade to a paying account

Vimeo feed

Vimeo feed

  • REALLY chaotic dashboard. All kinds of things that are screaming for my attention
  • There are a couple of widgets in Spanish, this is probably a bug?
  • No further onboarding steps, I just get dropped in here. I really expected to have to configure what I like to see, who I want to follow, etcetera
  • I can get into a “learn more how my feed works” if I want to
  • Contrast with the frontpage is huge in terms of beauty. Homepage makes me want to signup, but I didn’t expect this
  • Did receive a nice welcome e-mail to verify my account. Provides with some further steps to take too.
