    I'm going to echo what the others have said. It's not clear what your offering. I have no idea what the copy in the hero area is.

    I kind of get the idea behind the product a bit more in the section below, but it's still pretty vague because it's too general. For instance, "get the most out of your time" and "gain valuable insights about yourself." What kind of insights? And what makes them valuable? And what does getting the most of your time mean in terms of the user's life? Give some context that makes the benefit clear.

    Your layout is nice, but I would redo the design, especially the color combinations. All that reversed out type is hard to read. So is the button text. I would choose a darker color for the buttons so there is more contrast.

      Thanks, it is hard to design a page. I'll build my next landingpage using a online builder. And thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it.

      1. 1

        My pleasure.

    Hey,

    Nicely done!

    What you could probably think about is how to communicate your value proposition to your customers immediately in the top, so that it catches attention of your visitor and makes him read further.

    Also it feels that there is too much text in the 2nd part of the page. Did you check if any "real" potential client read it till the end?

    1. 1

      Thanks for the feedback!

      Have to make my message clearer. Working on that.
      I track my site with hotjar free plan. People just scroll through the site and no "real" customer reads the text and nobody leaves their email.

      I think this is caused by the bad communication and the product is really abstract. Without a demo it is hard to explain.

      I got ~100 views and I consider working on another idea. It looks like I need to work a lot on my writing skills.

      I wish you succes for you venture!

      1. 2

        Do you think another one has more potential than this one?

        Maybe worth conducting some UX interviews with your potential customers or hire a specialist/freelancer to help with that? It may help you leverage your initial idea and ensure you've really done everything and it's now either working or not!

        1. 1

          The next landingpage will be build using unicornplatform.
          It has soke greate designs and it is free when using a subdomain.

          I have 2 ideas for a saas, but I think the next will be better, because it fits into b2b market and has some advantages. If the validation fails I'll come back to this idea with improved design.

          Do you work on a startup?

          1. 1

            Sounds like a plan :) Good luck with that!

            Yes, we are working on a marketplace to find a specialist who is a pro at idea/customer validation and can prove with your customer that your idea is good or prove it wrong + insights how this can be pivoted to meet the customer's needs - https://ceed.bubbleapps.io/

            Would appreciate if you could roast it as well :) both the design and the product itself

            1. 1

              I am on mobile, let's roast it ;)

              -header is way too big, almost takes half of the page
              -The "how it works section" looks really good, clear and structured
              -The expert looks like a fake because you just started and already have 143 interviews. It makes me suspicious.

              The product itself looks good and I signed up, but I wish I could choose an expert myself.
              I would use it depending on the cost. Because as a young founder my budget is really, really small.
              However I wish you luck and maybe I'll be your customer ;)

              1. 1

                Thanks a lot for your feedback! We'll take it with the partner to account your feedback in the product :)

  3. 2

    I agree with nobossio – it's not clear what the offering is. What is the solution? If I had to guess I would say it's a goal tracker of some kind, and that it possibly hasn't been built yet.

    1. 1

      Thank you,
      Yeah, product is still in valuation and it is a longterm goal managment software.

      I have to make message clearer. Maybe add some screenshots.

      Are you working on a startup?

    Hey, similar to you I too launched my landing page built in Django yesterday, be sure to check that out and give your feedback https://formbox.dev.

    As for your page, I like it! It's simple and clean, however I'm not entirely sure what it is. Is this like a project management tool for your life? A screenshot could help (although I realise that may not be possible if you're still building, as I am)

    The spelling and working needs polishing but apart from that it's a good start, keep it up πŸ‘

    1. 1

      And on which platform are you hosting your site?

    2. 1

      Thanks for your review. Definitely have to work on my english skills :)

      Basically it is a goal managment tool.

      It is time to roast your site:

      • on the right side is a weird white stripe on mobile
      • I clicked several times on the COMING SOON button, but nothing happened. It is designed like a button, in my opinion scroll down the page when clicking.
      • some explanation or screenshots would be nice. You could design sth. In XD and insert it.

      All in all, the what and why questions aren't really answered.
      Keep hustling, I whish you the bestπŸ€—

      1. 2

        Thanks for checking it out, I'll look into those issues this morning. I hadn't even heard of XD before but it looks like that could be really useful so thanks. I'm hosting on render.com

        1. 1

          Hey, I heard about unicornplatform.com yesterday and think it is even better than using a custom solution. I'l try it out.
