Feedback on deploy tool

Hey!

I would like to get some feedback/suggestions for as well as the frontend and backend.

The project is completely written in Laravel and VueJS.

https://ploi.io

Let me know! 🚀

    Random thoughts/idea:

    • initial reaction is “Stripe”, which is a shame as I think you could be more original—plus might confuse some people?
    • see to limit the navigation items at the top for the most essential; skip: home, about us, contact and move them to the bottom so you'll focus on the most important pages / setting up an easier funnel
    • raise your prices. Assuming your service is solid, start with a $19 for one user/server as a “secondary citizen”. Next should be up at $29. My first reaction with these prices was that you aren't serious about it. Especially considering you merge two competing services into one.
    • lastly: share your monthly running costs 😉

    Looks very good to me! Solid design and calm colours.

    I am no Laravel/PHP guy, but it kinda reminds be of https://envoyer.io/ - What sets Ploi aside from this?

      Thank you!

      Well its similiar to envoyer but Ploi does more in the end. Envoyer is mostly focused on deployments, whilst Ploi does that as well (in a smaller scale) but offers more besides that. Such as full server installations which is the biggest part, but also 1 click installers, SSL management, cronjobs, daemons and such 🙃

        So you combined forge and envoyer into one service.

        • Do you have rollback functionality?
        • Do you allow for automated deployments?
        • Do you support Horizon?
        1. 1
          • No rollback yet, these are coming in the future though.
          • Yes, you can enable automatic deployment
          • We certainly support horizon, in other words; your server supports horizon. You can easily configure a daemon worker to run horizon with, no problem at all :)
