Freshly launched, feedback desired!

Hi folks, I've just launched Atlas Connex (atlasconnex.com), a platform built for engineers and meant to ease the burden of connecting networked systems which generally requires glue-logic and a dedicated infra to link up.

Background

This SaaS platform provides a way to accept event data from many different source types (think HTTP requests, MQTT topics, polled API endpoints) and allows you to write snippets of Python code to act as filters/transformers on that data, before fanning it out to one or more endpoints (which could be HTTP requests, raw TCP or UDP messages, MQTT topics, etc). The fan out and delivery is performed with managed event queues so even if the receiving endpoint has downtime for any reason, your data gets safely logged and we'll just try again later. There are more features there, but this is the gist.

The Ask

I'd be incredibly grateful for anyone who'd check out and give feedback on my landing page (or the service in general, if you care to give it a whirl). I'd love to know:

  • Your first impression (what do you think this service does for you?)
  • Design distractions (any weird formatting, distracting content, etc)?
  • Comments on the copy (any text that makes no sense, sounds off)?
  • Any other feedback you'd give too!

Thanks a ton!

    When I worked in finance I spent a lot of time integrating with other systems. I think your product is supposed to help with that. Unfortunately I really don't understand what problem your product solves. You use quite a lot of generic language, I think it would be good to show one or two use cases.

      Thanks for the feedback! I agree, I do need to showcase a few integrations to show the flexibility of the solution because the solution is generic (which I see as one of it's benefits). If you have any suggestions for services that you feel would be beneficial to showcase from your experience, I'd be happy to hear it! Thank you again!

        Impressive! Very nice docs and the integration looks very easy.

    First impressions on the design:

    • Colour blue makes sense for a tech product

    • Your CTA doesn't stand out enough. A lot of other elements, including the logo, use the same colour. CTA should be a unique colour.

    • No consistent alignment between the screenshot of a feature and the text explaining it

    • Inconsistent whitesepace between each separate feature as well

    • You can easily lay out all the navigation elements horizontally on desktop. No need for a menu dropdown

    Unfortunately, I can't really comment much on the copy/the product, as I'm not your target audience at all :/

      Thanks for the feedback! I was stuck on the menu... I think I will flip it to a horizontal menu layout. Also good point on the CTA. I will play with that too, see what may make it pop a little better.

        No worries, good luck!
