Another indiehacker with a landing page

http://luovatek.com

Greetings from Finland my fellow Earthlings! I'm mostly a coder so I would be interested to hear your opinions on my landing page at luovatek.com (backup at luovatek.online). It's pretty minimalistic with animate.css candy and some dynamic manipulation of the DOM. Also a nice font (Caveat). And of course if any indiehacker needs my services I'm sure I could cut a pretty good deal.

    Hi,
    Please change the colors and the text so it will be darker and easier to read.

  2. 1
    • unnecessary animations = poor UX
    • unreadable font
    • not responsive
    • bullet points look bad
    • no button spacing looks bad
    • too many pricing options is confusing to customers

    instead:

    • make it clear and easy to read
    • use animations where it makes sense
    • add examples of work you've completed in the past
    • don't offer so many prices to start, just an hourly rate is fine. (i.e. 60-100 eur/hr)
    • keep font you like for the logo, but use a sans-serif to complement it

    i.e. here's what I would start with:

    (would change the list text style as well, but up to you)

      Good comments! I think you are definitely right about button spacings. I'll add some soon! I know the animations are basically unnecessary for anything except showing off that I can add them.

    Just gonna repeat it once more, colours need changing

      What? Am I really the only one here who likes the colors as they are? What the hell is wrong with me?

        Might be worthwhile looking at how your display is calibrated - It might look different on your screen?

        On both screens I've tested, the text is very very very hard to read

        1. 1

          You might be on to something. On my screen the setting for contrast is close to the max and the text is definitely readable. I have to study this. And test the page on some screen with default settings...

            Try it out on your phone or perhaps a friends phone

              Alright, due to popular demand I implemented a simple small screen detection scheme with redirection to a mobile optimized version of the site with high contrast. Hopefully it works now for most people. Check it out at http://luovatek.online (I'll probably add some animations later...)

    As the others mentioned, the font colors need to contrast more to make it readable. Also, you have 2 text-shadows applied to most of your text making it very unclear. When I removed one of them in the dev tools, the text became much clearer. One came from your h2 rules and the other on your .regular class. Lastly, consider getting rid of the text-decoration on your list items. They are way off to the side. Start there and keep it simple. :)

      Good comments! I should have noted that I hadn't even tested the page on anything smaller than a 9.7" screen on which it was still readable. But yeah, I need to make a bit different version for smaller screens. And test some color schemes with more contrast. Though on my own big 40" screen I think the page is quite readable even as it stands :) Most browsers just aren't using my screen. Only the second headline is a bit too blurry on my own screen. But yes, I need to tweak the decorations too.

    I would love to have an opinion on your landing page but unfortunately, I can't read a word because of fancy font and its color.

  6. 1

    On mobile at least the text is hard to read because of the colour. If you open up Dev tools and select the text, the colour picker has an option to show contrast recommendations which could help you improve it.

    Other than that i would say you might want to make it work a bit better on mobile since that's how a lot of people are consuming the internet these days.

    Good luck, I love how your pricing is really clear cut and upfront.

      Yeah, I just added a certificate to luovatek.online and made the text a bit sharper on that site (I'll perhaps add more contrast later...). I'm just experiencing rather bad computer behaviour after a recent windows 10 update so it's a bit difficult to get things done before those issues are resolved.
