Essay ToolBox

As someone who was recently a student, I believe EssayToolbox will be beneficial for the student community. During my time at college, I went through several blogs and websites that addressed various topics in academic writing but I found that the guides on your website are crisp, comprehensive and beautifully presented. I could only skim through a few guides without thorough reading but it's good that the website has everything covered from writing an abstract to writing conclusions. I think EssayToolbox should also provide guides for certain (often overlooked but equally or more important) writing skills that other websites rarely cover. For example: [1] How to construct a persuasive argument for your essays? (e.g. Toulmin's model) [2] Defining "manner of writing" i.e. choosing words for clarity, impression, audience etc. [3] Understanding writing styles Some of these guides can be straight out summaries of books like "On Writing Well by Willian Zinsser" and "Sense of Style by Steven Pinker" (for [2]) and "The elements of Style by Strunk & White" (for [3]). Most students get a recommended reading list from their faculties to aid the thesis/essay writing process but sadly time is the greatest enemy of the student ;) Hence, if the helpful tips from such books can be distilled down into short content for quick consumption, I believe that would be wildly beneficial for students. Now, coming to the tools, I think the collection is great. However, I am not sure if I will use the summarisers and generators (except citation generator), as similar tools didn't work for me in the past. According to me, the most valuable in the collection are: word counter, plagiarism checker, grammar checker, assignment calculator, alphabetiser, paraphrasing tool, readability checker and spell checker. I like the overall design of website. It's clean and has a cool vibe to it. There are two things I would like to point out: [1] I feel the nav links are too dim and should be brighter to create sufficient contrast with the background. [2] The hero image is not working for me. I am not getting a sense of the product or value prop from the current image :) That's all from me. I wish you the very best. Hope Essay ToolBox sees wide adoption 👍

I like premise of this web site. The design is nice and the site is easy to navigate overall. Here are some suggestions: 1) Remove the yellow privacy prompt at the top of the page. It's distracting and makes me feel as if I should take some immediate action. The same prompt can be moved to the bottom of the page and muted color scheme would be better so users are drawn to your content. 2) Each tool has a great landing page. It's easy to get started and clear what the page is for. The homepage however doesn't have any clear call-to-actions (CTA). Nothing stands out and tells me where to begin. A simple "Get Started" button that directs me to choose one of the tools could be a good start.

Great tools, they are easy to use and the great plus is that they are free. I liked your design that is unobtrusive and simple but at the same time, it is eye-catching.
