I need help building a front-page for my Saas that actually gets the user to test our product.
Hello everyone. I´m looking for someone to Fix the front-page of https://www.simpletasking.com . Not only design but also structure and copy so that is something that actually gets users interested in trying the product.
Where do I find the right person to take on this? Already tried UpWork, fiverr, with no luck. Please help!

Hi Esteban,
I just want to say that I have been seeing a lot of posts regarding you wanting to improve SimpleTasking, which is already a step in the right direction.
(P.S. I know I might sound hostile, but this is honest constructive criticism, nothing more, so please don't take anything personally!)
People have given a lot of valid feedback over your various posts and to me, it feels like you take the feedback and throw it away. That's a common mistake when working a startup, wearing too many hats and not letting people who know how to do their job, well..do it.
You won't find someone who knows how to do copywriting, UX, development, marketing, etc. Neither will you be able to judge whether or not that person is doing their job properly based off what you think, leave it up to the numbers.
What have you looked for in people you've seen on Fiverr, Upwork, etc? What made you not choose them?
I appreciate you taking the time to write this. The community feedback is extremely important to me, that is why I decided to make this post. Basically the front-page sucks now, and I just don't have the time and energy to move it forward. That is why I'm willing to find and pay the right help to solve this problem. Previous post feedback regarding the actual product has all been put to good use. The software itself is a lot better due to the feedback and direction we get from members like yourself.
As per your question, You can find talented designers and programmers at these sites (UpWork, Fiverr, etc), but that won't solve my problem. I need to find someone that could create a solution that does not only look great but sign-ups users with the right copy and context. As I wrote, I just don't have the energy to do this myself now, so I´m prepared to find and pay the right person. Thus the current post at Jobs.

How many active users do you have?
What problem are you trying to solve?
What is your budget for this project?
Why does this product need to exist? There are a million project management apps, why your app?
Answering these will help other people be interested in helping you.
The project as a commercial offering is new, it was a side project before t hat was used by my team and a few others. Im honestly telling you, we have tried all project management tools, our works great for what we do. and we cant imagine our life with out it. We deal with MULTIPLE projects. Most project managers suck at dealing with multiple projects, they are great if your focus is on one. Monday, Trello, Slack, they are amazing if you do one project but lack when you need to quickly switch between teams and projects.
I think above answers all your questions, but the one about budget. I really dont know how much a proper consulting/design/copy, would cost.
Interesting. I run an agency and have 80+ active “projects” in Asana with no issues. No pains. Do a similar thing with Trello. No pains.
That will likely be your biggest challenge, getting over those competitors.
Furthermore, I find it interesting that you had issues with finding someone on UpWork. Why was that pool not a fit?
Also budget is everything. Designers are typically $250-$1k per page just as an FYI. Then another $500+ of development.
I like Asana too, their multiple projects solution works great when you work with the same team in multiple projects. Examples. A web design agency creating sites.
Asana sucks when you need to work in multiple projects and each project is a completely independent team.
Hi Esteban – My recommendation would be to remove all uppercase character, remove animations and instead of talking about what the product does, talk about the value of the product.
This: COLLABORATE IN MULTIPLE PROJECTS WITH EASE
Could be: Increase your team's productivity.
If you’d like help with design UI & UX, I’d be happy to talk. My company offers high-quality & affordable production ready web design for startups.
My website: https://designdash.co
If you’d like to chat more, send me an email and we can arrange a call.
My email: [email protected]
FYI: I signed up to check your project out and the email went straight to spam.
This might be reducing the number of active users
I'm on a smartphone and everything is too small to read. Also, the input field to subscribe was too small. I stopped trying to read...
I agree, the site does not work well. That is why the title of this post says: " I need help building a front-page for my Saas that actually gets the user to test our product."
Hi Esteban, I want to be honest with my comment and extremely respectful of your project ... but I see that you are building your entire proposal on WordPress and although it can be used for an MVP, I do not think it is the best way for such a competitive market.
I wanted to register to test the tool and things did not go well, it never showed me the page to configure my password and it remained at https://www.simpletasking.com/wp-login.php
While I understand that this is a side project, I think you should consider changing those technical aspects of your product to attract more attention.
We are a creative and technological team that custom develops the website you need. If at any time you need a partner to advance in these aspects, count on us.
Regards!
Thank you for your reply, that is very interesting. What framework would you recommend is used to replace it?
