Some quick thoughts. The findings, rating criteria and method used here might be useful to consider. I don’t strongly endorse it because academic findings and process don’t always apply/work in the real world. Also it is long out of date at this point.
On a personal level, I wonder if you need an elegant way to explain the relationship with 80k and avoid confusion?
Also, depending on the audience and your aims, it might be good to get some testimonials and indicators of credibility and social proof etc on the landing page. Also maybe it is worth adding more images and engaging graphics within the long blocks of text or some interactive elements that people will catch attention and prompt sharing?
I hadn’t seen the doc you linked to before, and is indeed a good starting point. We’re actively working on our internal M&E strategy at the moment, so this is particularly useful to us right now.
I agree with the other suggestions, and those are already planned. Their full implementation might take a while, but I expect us to have some updates related to this soon.
I agree that social proof through testimonials or having more faces around the site (apart from the advisory board and team page) and other indicators of credibility would probably help! I wonder if it might help too if you more clearly put that this is a project of Effective Altruism Israel (or endorsed by them)?
Hi Brian, thanks for the feedback. While we do hope to add other indicators of credibility, we don’t plan on featuring EAI specifically in the website. Though both Omer and I are heavily involved in EAI, and though it seems likely that Probably Good would not exist had EAI not existed, it is a separate org and effort from EA Israel. It is “supported by EAI” in the sense that I think members of EAI are supportive of the project (and I hope members of many other communities are too), but it is not “supported by EAI” in the sense that we receive any funding or resources from the group. I mention this mainly because our mission and intended audience are global, and connecting the website or organization with EAI may lead to confusion or discourage those who are not from Israel from engaging with us.
Nice work! I really like it as a start.
