One point of continual confusion is that people who don't have Archive-It accounts sign up for our service, and are then understandably frustrated when they're not able to use it.

This is mentioned in the FAQ and deeper into our About page, but we should think about how to possibly highlight this better.

Some thoughts:

  • is it possible to maybe on the home page note that "Getting Started? Please read our FAQ" or something.
  • Maybe move up the Archive-It information a bit higher on the "About" Page to make it clear - i.e. The Archives Unleashed Cloud is an open source cloud-based analysis tool that helps researchers and scholars conduct web archive analysis of Archive-It accounts.
  • And make clear that while we don't have public collections maybe they could connect with the people who are making collections?

Thoughts from others?
