Looking for landing page feedback on custom print product

I have been working on a project making custom printed star maps. The backend is still a work in progress, but I was hoping to get some early feedback on my landing page.

    May I ask you what you've done so far in order to test the idea (validate concept)?

    1. 1

      I did some competitive research and there are some similar products out there.

      However, it's yet to be fully validated. I am currently putting together a 'dummy' interface which I expect to have done by next week.

      Then I plan of spending a small amount on advertising to see how many click the 'checkout' button.

      The results of that experiment will determine if I continue development.

    I will not speculate whether people want to have posters of the sky, but what I expected from the first impression on the website was that this tool would give me a real sky "from my memorable night". So I expected to enter the place on earth, where and when I looked and the app would create the sky for me.

    When I scrolled down, it was clear that it is a design tool.

    1. 1

      The tool takes a location and date, and renders the sky accordingly. Its now clear to me I need to clean up my messaging.

        Oh... so my guess was right, but all the text about "designing" made me really confused.

        1. 1

          Yeah, when I read back over the site I realized I heavily overused "design"

    Glad to see you use TheSaaS for your landing page.

    Here's my feedback:

    1. Better to have a longer sub title in your cover, 2-3 lines of text.
    2. Find a better image for the cover.
    3. Use gradient background color for the cover. Lots of samples on https://webgradients.com/
    4. Your social icons on cover doesn't have enough contrast. Light colored version would be better I guess.
    5. Add one more item to the inspiration section.
    6. Call to action button in customization section is too long. Maybe a "Get Started" text would be enough. Also, add a little more text to the first item to make it 3 lines, like the rest.
    7. In customization section, use equal height sized images.
    8. Footer takes too much space with little content. Maybe footer #1 would be a better choice: http://thetheme.io/thesaas/block/footer.html#block-1

    Also, try to use better images and decrease the variety of colors you uses. Basically, you should have a primary color to use with most of buttons and colored texts, unless you make it intentionally colorful.

    All in all, good start point.

      Thank you so much. Lots of great, actionable, feedback here.

      By the wat, TheSaaS is beautiful. I am very pleased with my choice to purchase it.

    I think your site looks very nice!

    The moving dots in the header look cool. You might want to use a bigger poster image to highlight the product.

    This sentence needs to be fixed:
    people have been using been capturing their special night with Forever Skies' custom star map posters.

    The light grey text on white bg looks great, but I don't wear glasses (and I should) so have to strain a bit to read it. It's ok if you think this is my problem, not yours :)

    The load more button is weird since it's not doing anything.

    "Build Your Star Map" buttons would probably look better with more padding, and maybe aligning them so they're in the same row.

    Edit: I think a lot of the text should be enlarged. I like the white space, but the text seems to shrink into it a bit.

      Thank you, the load more button is to pull more from an instagram feed.

      I only have 2 IG posts currently. I suppose I should hide the button when all are loaded.
