Launching .. again! Looking for feedback!

this product

I've launched Easybook.io (bookkeeping software) one year ago and got some good feedback from the Indie Hackers community. I've decided to rethink the product and am launching again after making a small pivot and some adjustments to the core service. Hoping to get some feedback on the website. Do you guys think it conveys the message about the service well?

    First off I really like the design, and it works great on mobile!

    That being said I think you should get someone to proofread your website's copy for you. There are some mistakes that make it look unprofessional. Apart from that I found it really hard to understand what your product does at a glance, so maybe you could make it clearer.

      Thanks for your feedback Joao!

      You're completely right for the website's copy as English is not my mother tongue... I'll look after someone to proofread it indeed!

      I'll also rework on the copy to make our core service clearer.

    The design looks very clean, and I also like the onboarding email!

    I tried out the signup flow, and a few thoughts:

    • Why do I need a username?
    • If I don't enter a city there's a "please fill in this field" bubble pointing nowhere after moving to the next step. And when I click "back" it goes back to Vat number rather than my address
    • creating an invoice: would be nice to add an "add customer" button next to the empty customers dropdown

    Regarding the messaging, I have two questions:

    1. Is the product optimized for a particular country?
    2. Why use easybook over accounting software like Freeagent/Xero/... do you interface with those?

      Thank you Matt for your comment, you made very good remarks!

      For now, the product is not optimized for a particular country but the idea is indeed to customize the taxes, VAT number... based on a country.

      Regarding the competitors like Xero, easybook.io it's easier to use with only the essentials features when you're a freelancer, a small business owner, a digital nomad... and it's much less pricy! I've added the Pay-As-You-Go System where a customer can only pay few cents when creating a document (estimate/invoice..) and not a fixed amount every month for something you're not sure to entirely use when you start a new business.
