I created a content marketplace

Hi Ricardo,

The concept of ContentRound seems pretty interesting. I think it could transform into a good product overall.

I'm Junaid Ansari, co-founder at draftss.com which an unlimited graphic design service. Here are some of my thoughts on the appearance of the website:

• The size of the logo on the website should be slightly increased
• The grey background should be changed to white instead
• The text of 'sign in' should be changed to 'sign up'
• The empty space below the header image and 'List your article request' should be reduced
• The size of 'get unique quality content' should be slightly increased
• The 'Purchase content now' button should be vertically center aligned to the blue box
• The other 'Purchase now' hyperlink can be removed
• All the icons should be of same size
• The size of all icons should increase (Unique content, fast turn around, seo ready, easy to use)
• The logo in to footer must be altered
• The title on the pricing page can be changed from 'Pricing' to 'Pricing per word" and center aligned to the page
• The sub-title on the pricing should be removed
• The pricing page should have distinctive features or sample write-ups for each category
• Integrate live chat on the website

If you ever revise the changes and are looking for more detailed feedback you can reach me at jd@draftss.com

Hi Ricardo!

I think there is nothing wrong with the idea, I think it's great! But I think the main factor that I wouldn't sign up for the service is that there is no portfolio or cases section.

In short, I want to read a couple of those "high quality and custom" content pieces.

So create a page where you place some of your best posts in different categories. Maybe even create a link in each category tab, like;

"Engage readers with a press release"
View some examples here

I do think your site can benefit from a new design, but right now the only thing stopping me from signing up is not being able to read any material that will let me think "Holy shit these people know how to write a great article".

Also some other minor things;

1. I think you mean "sign up" instead of "sign in".
2. The price table tiers seem all the same, if I look at ELITE + writers I still read "basic quality writers" as a perk. Write some different perks or make it obvious that you are only getting more experienced and talented writers.
3. Yes, everything can be a little bit more exciting visually. But for me, it's currently sufficient enough to make me curious about some material.

Hope any of this helps! Looking forward to seeing the examples on the site.

If you need anything, let me know 🤘

Hi Ricardo,
I'm not sure if it's still relevant but I just looked at your website and I think it looks great. One thing I would suggest to do is to change an icon where is says "Our writers will write..." as it gives an idea that there is some kind of a mistake with the page, probably because of its color. But I'm no expert so maybe I'm wrong.
Other than that, I think you did a good job!
By the way, recently I found an amazing article about marketplace website development, I don't know if it's something you'd find interesting but, anyways, here it is: https://www.cleveroad.com/blog/build-a-marketplace-website

Wow! lots of nice feedback here!
Thanks guys I will work through the weekend.

Many businesses are looking for content writers, so I think this idea has potential.

Instead of having them come to your site, have you considered going to them directly?

Maybe I am naive, but I don't even think you need a website with "features" to get this idea off the ground and start making $.

Just start finding customers on Upwork et al., pitch them via chat messaging, and deliver on it. You will probably also learn way more about your market this way.

There is more to content as just words.
@JeroenvanGils and me run fullservice.co, and a lot of the time our team spends with clients is spent doing things which are not necessarily the creation of the content itself.

Also, where did you market this website?
