Hey there!
This is my first time posting here. I lunched the idea in November 2019. I am looking for critique on:

  1. the idea
  2. the process
  3. the business model
  4. and the website design

I won't explain what my website is about -----> I am you can figure it out by simply looking at it. Here we go.

    Hey Chance, pretty interesting idea! Couple of feedbacks:

    1. The web page design / styling definitely needs work. The fonts plus the layout feels very outdated.
    2. I see two sides that could potentially use this service: the buyer and seller side.
      It might be worthwhile to separate out these flows so it's more clear to your target customers.

    The idea and business model looks good.

    Talking about the website design I would suggest to make the fonts and margins/paddings more consistent. I would recommend the book Hello Web Design by Tracy Osborn to get the better feeling of graphical design: https://hellowebbooks.com/order/

    Hey, your landing page looks like it could be more consistent. Also, you need a logo that is more scalable and consistent with the site. The overall service looks great if you figure everything out. I could help you with a logo, if you want.

    Hi @Chance,

    1. Delivering goods is a logistical challenge, how do you plan to handle it ?
    2. Wouldn't it be possible for sellers to list their products on Amazon market place and link them on facebook ?
    3. The web design needs polishing, you can google for some well-designed landing page templates and adapt them.

      Hey thanks for the feedback!

      1. Honestly don’t have a concrete plan at the moment. I was thinking I would provide the delivery service myself first then branch to something like Uber later.
      2. It would probably be possible but currently there is no API offered by Facebook that does that. And most items sold on Facebook Marketplace are second hand.
      3. Thanks will be looking for some ideas over the weekend.
