Landing page feedback! What do you guys think?

I'm really trying to build something special at www.moneysite.com

I would love to know what do you guys think about the landing page.

Let me know your thoughts.


  1. 3

    Is the aim of this to be a community akin to indie hackers?

    I don't want to sound negative but my first impression was that this was similar to one of these 'get rich quick' style sites. I didn't feel much trust in the design as others have pointed out.

    Probably the main things I would work on are:

    • Tightening up the copy. Can you explain what this does more succinctly? Why do I as a visitor care?

    • Changing your design to inspire more trust. I think that the name 'MoneySite' is the first red flag for me as that makes me think the primary purpose is getting rich or something.

    • As @jianinglai mentioned, the icons don't really fit. If you're stuck then even something simple like Font Awesome would work here. I know it can be seen as boring, but they're also familiar.

    • General design tweaks such as a nicer font, and better use of colour. You may find this helpful: https://twitter.com/i/moments/879086180909764608?lang=en.

    Again, I hope this didn't sound negative or discouraging. I know how hard it can be to put yourself out there with a product, and it's great that you've come this far already. Hopefully you found this helpful :)

      Brutal feedback lol But I love it, I think I will be able to do some nice improvements after all this helpful feedback, I'm already working on it.

      I do want to stay away from those get rich websites and do something more valuable. I need to keep that in mind. Thanks for the feedback @ruairidhwm

        Glad that you found it helpful, looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

    Similar to some comments below. It feels like the 'get rich quick' sites. A few things:

    • Things are never free, what is your business model? Are you going to sell personal data :)

    • What evidence do you have, the third most important thing after explaining the situation/problem and your solution.

      Thanks for the feedback @tijshensen

      I'm working on it.

    My feedback :

    • First impression i don't feel any trust about the top message, we encounter the same style everywhere

    • You could give the 'free' feature more attention, it'll encourage people to go in

    • Sign in form need to be more attractive (a lot of templates available for inspirations )

    Best of luck

      Hi @zanguim thank you so much for your feedback.

      What do you think would be a better message? Can you please send me a suggestion?

    I would say give people more of an incentive to give you their email address. Plus you need to explain more about what you do on the home page.

      Hi @Lenny thank you so much for your feedback.

      Any suggestion about the incentive?

      I will try to put more information in the website, but I dont want to put too much info because I know must users will not read anyways...

      1. 1

        Just add an incentive that matters a lot to your target audience. It can be an ebook, email course or even a video series. It just has to be on a topic they care about.

        Also, there can never be too much information on a landing page unless it's boring. Must of your visitors don't know about your website. A long page lets users learn more.

    Here is some feedback:

    • Is your project a magazine? I ask because that is what the image on the right hand side looks like.

    • caught one small typo: "archive your financial goals". I think you mean "achieve your financial goals"?

    • not a fan of the icons you've selected. Since they are cartoonish, it doesn't establish trust (at least for me). And I think establishing trust is important especially since your project is all about finances.

    Good luck!

      Thank you so much for your feedback @jianinglai

      Yes its a mix of magazine and community.

      About the icons, I think you bring a good point, I actually tried other icons before but was looking very generic. What icons would you recommend? Any suggestions?

      1. 1

        That I won't be able to answer!

        But to get you started, check out https://www.flaticon.com/

        (that is where I got a lot of icons for my project, www.tribefive.me)

        1. 1

          Most icons there also look very cartoonish :)

          I wonder how I can step way from the cartoonish look without looking too generic and boring.
