GuidedPR - We connect journalists with business owners

Hey community!
I've just launched GuidedPR and I would love to get some web design feedback.

Thanks for your valuable help!

    hiya! i was very confused by this at first. here are my notes:

    • i can tell this is some kind of marketing company, because at first glance i have no idea what this website is about
    • "connects journalists with business owners" sounds interesting, but since i'm not a journalist and im not sure what kind of business owner you're looking for (mom and pop bakery/taqueria? startup? shareholders?) i can't identify with either and i feel like this site isn't for me
    • the video looks like it was made in a sweatshop or bought on fiverr
    • so im now going below the fold and still dont kow what exactly this does. couldn't watch the video because im not interested yet
    • the blue zone has a mouse pointer icon when i hover on the text, makes me think i can click it... but why would i? and nothing happens? it's kind weird
    • in the "why sign up to guidedPR" there is a workflow of what i will do once i'm signed up and it's 5 steps long. i read the first step and still couldn't understand why i would "add a journalist request" add to what? request for what? what is the purpose here, what am i doing on this website still?
    • finally i get to the "we're here to connect journalists and business owners" and the paragraph helps me understand. this is so that i as a journalist can quickly find someone to quote on tv or other news and say "local ____ expert had this to say:". or as a business i can get myself some exposure. i get it now
    • i hate carousels. also the speech bubbles look sloppy and the circles around peoples faces have a weird white outline sometimes.

    The headline 'Visible.Credible.Influential." tells me nothing. I'd really consider replacing it with something that tells me more about the product.
