Hey Indie Hackers,
Hope you're all well. Just wanted to get some feedback on my landing page for our newsletter, which we made to complement our blog.
If you have any tips please drop them down below.
Also if you have any tips for the website overall, please add them below
some feedback —
One newsletter landing page I really like is — https://rubyweekly.com/
Simple and effective. I think you could take some inspiration from there to help you simplify your own newsletters landing page.
Congrats on the newsletter launch!
I've added some suggestions here - https://visualdebug.com/show/readcaffeine.com
Thank you so much Stan!
The very first thing I notice when accessing this landing page how slow your website is. It took many seconds to load and Google's website speed test tool gives it a failed score of 43/100 on performance. This is so slow, Google will penalize your website for the poor performance.
The second thing I noticed how odd the website's logo looks like. To be more exact, the logo itself looks okay, but it's placed so oddly. The top part of the logo looks like it is drawn outside of my browser's canvas area, like there is negative margin going on for some very odd reason.
In regards your actual landing page, I think it looks okay. I don't like how the mobile phone render is tilted in a weird angle, making it hard to read the text on the screen. This looks like a screenshot and the purpose of a screenshot is to show off your product. If that's the case, why would you put that in an awkward angle, so it's difficult to see? It's like you want to show off your product, but also don't.
The pitch for the newsletter sounds good to me.
It's bad UX that the first green text "Busy Techies" is not a link but the green text "one weekly email" is a link. It should be clear without moving the mouse cursor, what elements of your website are clickable. Using the same font effect (green text) for both links and non-links is confusing.
I'm actually in the process of getting a web agency to speed up my website.
Also, I haven't ran into any issues with the logo while setting up my website and testing it. Can you send me a screenshot of what you mean?
Thanks for the help!
This is how the logo is looking for me: https://ibb.co/BGFSj4B
This is with latest Firefox in Linux. The logo is too high up.
