Show IH: Does my landing page suck?

Hello,

One month ago I asked for help in creating the landing pages for our services. Here you can find that post and if you want to be a better landing page builder, I'd recommend reading it because many fellow indie hackers have given me valuable advice and useful sources.

So Here is our first landing page: Instagram Auto DM Bot

How do you find it? Is it semi-acceptable? How is my copywriting?

Thanks in advance. Love you all

    Hey Juan,

    As a designer, you page doesn't suck!

    To nit pick:

    • Your main illustration is drawn in isometric perspective, but the Instavast crane arm doesn't match... it feels like it was added in after and comes across a bit cheap.

    • Similarly, your icons are of inconsistent styles. This lends to the same feeling.

      Hi Matthew, Thanks, man! The crane is like 2D and other parts 3D! But I don't find what is the problem in icons? How are they inconsistent and what need to be done to fix?

    It's not bad at all!

    But I already saw the picture with the girl before a board but I don't remember where.

    I see a problem with colors. Why is "login" red? and "sign up" green? Both are a little bit out of your palette (violet-blue). Also, small icons are in different style from the big pictures, it's slightly annoying.

    Overall, I like it!

    Have you already implemented your payment system? I see you accept paypal and cc, which payment provider do you use?

    Good luck!

      Thanks for your review.

      Yes, we have bought that illustration so it's possible if you find it somewhere else.

      The problem with colors is temporary because we are also changing our home page and once it is done, they will all be fixed. (Menu bar would be in white, "login" and "signup" will be violet-blue)

      Yes, we are running this service for about one year now.

    Hey Juan, I've seen a lot worse.

    The hero section is pretty clear. The How it works section could be a bit clearer — in fact, you could probably expand it slightly to illustrate all the steps, going over the targeting options (a static picture of the targeting configuration screen showing all the options might be clearer than an animation here), and the result (what the message looks like for the recipient).

    What's missing the most so far is proof: customer testimonials (when you'll get them), and more importantly quantitative benefits. How many people will I be able to reach, at what price, and for what results?

      Hi David, Thanks for helping me.

      I agree, how it works section might be represented better using some slide pictures.

      I think I need to create a section for answering these kinds of questions. However, I have mentioned the price but it would be a good idea to focus more on quantitative benefits.

    Are those your illustrations? I would remove the shadowed frame around the hero section.

    1. 2

      Agreed. My first impression was "damn, this site would look great if you ditched the dropshadows and redid the nav."

      1. 1

        Hi Patrick, Can you please enlighten me what you mean by "ditched the dropshadows and redid the nav."

        Sorry If I sounds a noob.

    2. 1

      Yes, I think our graphist has bought elements from Shutterstock. Man! I do like those shadows :D

    Your landing page does not suck. There are a few little things here and there, like the size of fonts and the amount of margin around elements, that I might change, but that's pretty small stuff. I also might change the order of the sections, as your 'create camapigns...' and 'main benefits' look like they should be grouped together at the start. Copy looks good to me. Overall nice job.

      Thanks for checking. I had firstly set "creat campaigns" and "Benefits" together but in the last minutes I thought separating them could be better. I maybe should change it. Thanks

      Do you think the size of fonts need to be smaller?

      1. 1

        No problem. Yeah, I'd shrink the size of the text under 'how it works' and 'skyrocket your instagram sales'.

        1. 1

          Agree. will do it. thanks
