Your most Brutal feedback please! Would you pay for this?

To be brutally honest, I wouldn't pay for it or at least I wouldn't pay for it now. There are a multitude of reasons for it but the most important ones are:

1. I don't know what the service is, other than the words "campaigns" and "design" there's nothing else to describe what you do and how you can provide value;
2. You're not credible, your site looks like one of those spammy websites. You definitely need to revamp that especially when your unique selling point is design.

Your idea isn't new, people are making a lot of money doing it and you can too, you just need to get better at communicating and most importantly you need to level up your UI skills.

Hope this wasn't too brutal :D

Did you buy the Instagram follows?

Just a shot in the dark math between the number of followers and engagement + the fact that you mentioned you just started.

Just curious.

Vague service description - there are no examples of what kinds of problems did you solve in the past.

I recently started my business where I use my design and engineering background to do creative campaigns that solve business problems (such as increasing sales, user acquisition and so on).

👋Sounds like you want to offer creative campaigns to brands, nothing wrong with that and it's a sound business model. But, right now there is nothing to nothing to buy / hire 😀

Some advice from someone that's spent too long in the digital advertising / campaign world;

1. Take some time to think about what you want to offer. Visual Design? Creative Campaigns? Development? Video? Social? You can't be everything to everyone, so pick a service you want to offer.

2. Identify the types of companies / brands you love to work with and what service you'd offer. Who is your dream customer? Which industry? Which country? What problem you'd solve for them?

3. Once you've defined your proposition, your site needs to demonstrate how it helps your target customer get something done. Get this nailed before you start to look at the visual design again.

4. Based on your proposition, try setting yourself a client brief e.g. "Increasing % email sign ups for surfing brand Y, by a campaign that showed Z" show the campaign you'd create based on your proposition and the results you'd expect.

Going through this exercise will give you

• A solid proposition
• A target audience
• Sample work that demonstrates your skills at solving this problem

Hi Bezan,

I think the comments you've received already are fair.

I've one word of additional advice: Niche, niche, niche...

Sorry - that's three - but you know where I'm coming from ;-)

Best wishes,
Mark

Those three subtitles are unnecessarily hard to read with the background clipping them halfway. Completely opposite to your value proposition "It must have both form and function."

Seems suspicious that you got <100 likes and >300 followers per Instagram post.

I'd make the showcase ready before expecting many customers unless you charge by results only.

First off, congratulations on taking the leap to start your own business! You have an exciting time ahead of you :)

I'm with Alex here - it's not really clear what you're offering. I get the impression that you're starting an agency (trading hours for money) - is that it? Or are you offering a package people can pay for?

You're probably really good at what you do since you're starting a business, but the problem is that it doesn't really show on the site. I don't mean to be rude either, but it simply feels unprofessional. It's the drop shadows, the typography, the way you use images behind the headers, the buggy site, and the thin content.

The agency I work for and used to be partner at has lived for 13 years now, and this recipe has worked well for us:

• Be clear about what you're doing
• Produce good work
• Show that work

Perhaps you could start with these points and go from there?

Good luck, and keep building! Helping others with tech and design is challenging but lots of fun :)
