Custom Branded Zoom Backgrounds as-a-service

I've never done a productized service before so here goes.

Lots of new people are Zooming from home rather than meeting in person - sales people, executives, etc. Most of them have little to no design experience. So, I made this service product to sell them custom branded Zoom virtual backgrounds.

What do you think?

    Colin,
    This is a great idea, well done!
    Is everything automated or is there some manual work required?
    I think you should add testimonials on the website, it should be easy to get a few people to give you one .
    Is there any upsell to your offer? or will it be a one-off purchase?

    What a great idea. "Wish I'd built that!" was my first reaction, which is one of the highest compliments an Indie Hacker can receive!

    Love this idea! Having seen a couple of brands do this I've wanted to do the same with my brand and have even made myself a ticket to create some backgrounds but just haven't gotten around to it yet

    I like the idea, but your video example kinda throws me off in quality. I think it is because you use the Zoom cut out functions (I guess, idk Zoom).
    Maybe for marketing reasons I would use a high quality example gif or video with a green screen. This would differ from the quality of the real prodcut and may be bad practice, I dont know more about that but thats just my feedback. Good luck with your service!

      I agree - I need to get a green screen to make the demo look right. Off to the dollar store!

    Pretty cool idea, interested to see how it goes!

    I agree with the other comment, you might want to add a free version just for companies to test it out. Maybe add your logo in the free version somewhere in it?

      That's a good idea - "Download a Sample" etc.

    I like the idea :) it's interesting something customised for brands. Is there a free version to understand (poc) if brands would download it?

      I should do this - thank you!
