Some problems with the subscribe CTA in the sidebar (https://subscribe.wired.com/subscribe/wired/93911?source=Fai...)

* The Customer Service link is broken.

* It doesn't say what you'll pay after the initial $5.

* It doesn't explain the GQ promotion. Is it 5 issues, $5 for 6, something else?

Also, it would be re-assuring to see the to-be-billed amount near the Subscribe button. Because of the other issues on the page, I don't quite trust the header which is just an image made by a designer.

I was interested enough to click but too unsure to follow through, so hopefully someone from Wired/Conde will see this and fix some of these issues.



The full year subscription price does appear to have been completely left off the new site. Hiding the actual price probably tested well?


To be fair to Wired, I have a good idea what a magazine subscription should cost. :) I just think they haven't considered that hiding the price and agreement on a payment form signals an unintended negative impression.
