AI Pet Photos - first customers are in

IDEA
Make fun AI photos for pets, inspired by the numerous human image generation services out there. BUT the main objective was that user doesn't do anything except to send their pet photos.

BUILDING
It has now been exactly 2 months since 1st line of code and thousands of images. I have no technical background, but recently learned to code and for this I had to learn about web hooks, integrating stripe and other services to get it going. If it wasn't for ai chat bots probably would've taken me 4 months.

MARKETING
Social and sites that publish AI tools. Paying customer are now here so most of my efforts will now go into promoting the service and making it more robust (I've had some 503 error nightmares). Guess learning SEO is next really.

MONETIZING
I opted for a simple bundle package, one off payment which seemed appropriate as most people have 1 pet.

Check it out and let me know what you think: https://aipetphotos.com , code IHACKERS15 for 15% off.

    A great way to utilize AI for monetization! Some comments on the site. Your top portion of the site is quite busy due to the amount of information and how that information is positioned. You're probably not a designer, but I am, so here're a few ideas.

    1. Position your content vertically
    2. Lead with the generated photos in the center as your hero and can add the copy next to it "Unleash Your Pet's Augmented Personalities". I would position the hero right below the navigation bar without any other text or content in between.
    3. Place "How it works" below the hero
    4. Features below that
    5. What's in the box below that

    You can leave the rest of the section below in the order as it is now, but consider differentiating sections with color. Most of them are the same gray which doesn't provide enough visual separation.

    I hope this helps, and good luck. Let me know if you need any other tips or feedback.
