    Hi @yMachi!

    My biggest point would be about your competition.

    First, Wordpress is very hard to beat. It gives you control, flexibility, and scalability. Not to mention, you get the Wordpress universe of plugins, support, themes, and integrations. Sure, Wordpress landing page builders (Thrive Architect / Elementor / Divi / Etc) can be too tedious.

    But... your audience can also resort to:

    1. Doing Wordpress easily with Wordpress.com or StudioPress Sites.
    2. Hiring a pro and not resort to DIY
    3. Using a market leading page builder like LeadPages / Unbounce / InstaPage
    4. Building their website with a complete DIY solution like Wix or Squarespace

    My biggest objection / question, if I was a buyer, would be how this stacks vs. the crowded market.

    Any question, let me know.

      Hello @allancaeg I really appreciated your answer.
      Sorry for being late, you know holidays out of town ...

      You are right, our market is saturated and highly competitive. Because of this potential battle like "David and Goliath" we focused on different personas. We don't try to compete with neither Wordpress nor Square / Wix.

      We like to be the most simple website builder which you can use with absolute zero tech knowledge or need to know about web practices. We focus on entry level small and medium businesses. They need to get online easily and cheap. They don't want to know about FTP, hosting, email, domains, drag n drop and millions of plugins that they don't know how to install and set up.

      With ymello, they skip the installation part, code part and even creative part (our target persona is not really creative person and if they actually are in many times they don't have a time or proper skills to design their page). Only what they need to do is add their content with one "+" button.

      But you know, we need to define our persona on the landpage more precisely. Positioning is something what we are currently working on.

      Thank you very much for very good thought anyway, it force us to position our tool even more.

        Excellent.

        Yes, add comparison pages as well.

    I like the look and feel. There is a layout issue on the pricing page when viewed on my Android phone. The tag that reads '2 months free' hangs out past the edge of the screen. Maybe the tag could appear below the slider when viewed on a mobile with 1080 x 1920 resolution.

    Great job and good luck with the sales!

      Thank you very much Rooso for feedback and finding the mobile issue :) We are working on it immediately. Thanks for support.

    The site looks great. I'd maybe change the content at the top. "Don’t waste your time with tedious creation. Your site is supposed to serve you, not the other way round." The selling point is clear, but it's coming from a place of negativity. Try spinning it to a positive message about what your product will empower your users to do.

    Looks cool. Those small animated icons are beautiful.

    From a quick glance:

    • I'm not sure if most people will know what '1GB space for your website' means. Maybe an abstraction to 'Enough space for a small website' would be better https://www.ymello.com/pricing

    • I can't find anything about a domain, do I get one, what if I have one, will I get a sub-domain, can I add my own domain to the base package or do I have to get another package for that, etc

    1. 1

      Thank you very much @hl for this view.

      1. yes you are right, average people (our target) don't know what 1GB is, I send this issue to our copywriter.
      2. Good point, do you think that this could be in the "Instant answer" section below the pricing ? Or should we mentioned about it right in the pricing.
      1. 1
        1. I think it should be in the package feature list, a custom domain is very important and I think you should advertise it clearly
        1. 1

          You're right. We'll make this point immediately. 👌

    The layout seems to be broken on my iPhone (SE).
