How's my landing page?

Hello everyone 👋🏻

I recently published Synthate's landing page at Synthate.com and wanted to get everyone's opinion.

I appreciate any tips, critiques, and advice that anyone has!

If anyone is interested in the product/offering itself, the backend application is also function

    Site loads fast, kudos for it!
    But the bold text in the navbar is a big turnoff for me.
    If its made of normal weight, it'd look good in my opinion: https://i.gyazo.com/e37bd408098b45955ab63f57eb15db96.png

      Agreed - I'll be changing it with my next deploy :)

      Thanks for the advice!

    I like the clean look all through the page. Congrats!

    A couple of notes:

    • I do not think the illustrations used in the product section match the respective text; I do like the icons in the features section.
    • Other than "Price" and "Piece of mind", I don't understand if there's a connection between the other buttons ("Our Process" and "Use Cases") and the text bellow them.

      Thank you!

      I think I definitely need to re-do the copy text and edit the illustrations for the usecase/process/pricing section - will be doing so before next deploy.

    Really nice, it takes a moment to get what's the product.
    Did you build it from scratch?

    1. 1

      The backend application was originally templated with Sjabloon, but the large majority of what you see was custom coded.

      After looking at it a few more times, I agree - it's a bit difficult to tell what it is right off the bat. I'll add some work samples/rearrange the page a bit to be more informative.

      Thanks for the feedback Hannah!

    Not building hiring software anymore? :(

    1. 1

      Nope :(

      I'm actually happy with the balance I've hit here - I can do client work, gain experience and gradually build income; but I can also use Synthate, LLC to develop side projects and products of my own in my freetime.

      Lever.co does such a good job with hiring software after further research that I realistically cannot make a 10x product (especially after thinking about the questions you posed a week back) by myself.

      1. 2

        That sounds like a great decision then.

    Nice and simple.

    Some quick tips:

    • Remove most of the links in the navbar (your goal is to guide the visitor and give them the best experience, you don't want them wondering off own their own)
    • Some examples of what can be built would be nice
    1. 1

      I agree - I'll likely make 'Product' a dropdown with some options, and get rid of the rest. Guiding the visitor is definitely something I need to keep in mind while developing (UX! UX! UX!).

      I'll also be adding work samples (both example projects and client projects as I acquire more).

      Thanks Volkan! 👍🏻

    Slick for sure. I would think one thing you're missing are work samples. But if its early stage, it would make sense.

    Again, slick. 👍

      Thanks! 😁

      I'm working on getting some early work examples up. I got an early adopter/client and I intend on using his website + a few other sample projects for now.

      Good catch - didn't realize this. I'll also see about changing the checkmarks to X's for non-included features.
