Hit or miss on my new landing page?

I just launched my landing page for my new SaaS project. The purpose of the project is to allow entrepreneurs/product managers/hackers to reach out directly to open source users of their projects to get candid feedback, so they can make better decisions about where to take the project.

What do you think? Hit or miss?

    Good idea, good name, good copy, good FAQ!

    Nice logo. Works well as a recognizable favicon.

    On mobile the flow of the four images works. On desktop the first two images are too small to "get" right away, especially the second, but I don't know if your page template gives you any room to adjust. Super picky: roughly the same green appears in images 1, 3 and 4. If you could get it in 2 that might look cool.

    I would not use the monospace font throughout, just enough to establish the feeling. It's not fun to read in paragraph form. And I might want to lose an emoji or two.

    Both for search engine purposes and to help the concept click as fast as possible when a visitor skims the page, I'd make sure the page includes words "dev" and "software" and "repo" (the plural is there now but not singular). And if you can work them in, "project" (singular) and "early adopters" and "bug report"? And possibly "library" and/or "maintainer"?

      I didn't feel great about the first two images either, so I appreciate you confirming that they feel "off." Great ideas about how to improve SEO and the overall concept.

      Thanks for taking a critical look at the page, Shawn. I really appreciate it!

    Nice idea! This will resonate with Product Managers at startups/big tech companies alike.

    You could potentially use a hero image to the right of the "Reach your open source community" that highlights your key value prop. It'll help brighten up the whole section. Your hero message resonates really well though.

    I read the "4 simple steps" and was expecting to hear about the steps but then was led into a paragraph describing the product. Perhaps move the heading below the two paragraphs?

    The images in the four simple steps are way too small. I had to zoom in and click on each one to understand them. If you're feeling up to it, you could quickly prototype something in https://www.figma.com that describes the contacting the user and get feedback flows. There's free Figma templates out on the web that will help you get started too.

    Exciting stuff overall. Wish you the best of luck!

    Would appreciate any feedback you can provide on my landing page as well: http://matchfluence.com/

      Thanks for the feedback! You're spot on about the images is spot on for sure. I'll also play with the "4 simple steps" section and see if I can make it flow a bit better.

      On Matchfluence:
      I really like the background. I'm a sucker for that gradient look.

      You seem to be missing a favicon, which should be an easy fix. The logo itself looks like it's supposed to be a Venn diagram, maybe representing your niche with compatible influencers? It's a bit unclear to me at the moment.

      "Find the right influencers in your niche." seems spot on. I know exactly what you're doing. "Matchfluence is an influencer discovery platform that helps small business grow by connecting them with influencers in their niche." seems a bit wordy. I would try to cut a lot of that out. Maybe something Like "Matchfluence helps small business grow by connecting them with the right influencers."

      The signup form clashes a bit in my eyes. I'd probably go with rounded corners on the form to match the button, unbold the text, and the text color for "Get Early Access" doesn't have enough contrast with the button for me.

      Your mockup is really nice and tells a good story by itself and your features section seems really strong.

      You might try to reword your tag line when you restate it at the bottom, and the same feedback on the signup form there too.

      Looks really cool! I did some dabbling in e-commerce before and I could have used something like this.

        Love it. Thank you so much and good luck with everything :)
