Site Navigation/Overview

When I analyzed katfile.com, it made it clear that it was a cloud storage company above the fold. It used buttons to direct users to get started or learn more. I liked that they used buttons to allow users to learn more rather than using up a lot of space on the homepage forcing every user to learn more which could result in unnecessary clutter. When I scrolled below the fold, the next section welcomed me to KatFile and showed me a button to create an account. This seemed a bit repetitive because I assumed that the Get Started button I was already shown would be for creating an account. I recommend not repeating things on the homepage otherwise it can seem overly pushy when users see it. It’s generally understood that getting started involves creating an account. 2/23/025
