I revamped my landing page. Roast it please 🔥

http://supstatus.com

With feedback I got from twitter friends, I changed a lot of the design and copy of Supstatus.com.

My goals for the landing page are:

  1. Convince visitors that it's important to get a status page.
  2. Show that Sup is a simple & affordable alternative.
  3. Convert ofc!

Do you think it works? Looking forward to your roasts 🔥

Thank youu :D

    My first question when seeing this: what is a status page? (My first guess is something to do with social media.)

    Then I read the small text describing the benefits, and figure out it's probably one of those monitoring/status reporting pages like https://www.githubstatus.com/ But it's not clear.

    It's a nice page, and nice benefits description, but nowhere does it actually explain what the product actually is (unless you instantly associate the term status page to monitoring and not something else) . I'd suggest a picture of a status page to make it clear "this is the thing you're signing up to get"

      I agree! A status page visual / screenshot could help with that I think. Thank you for your feedback!

    Sandwich feedback, but you already know my opinion on this, so I'm just doing this for the hecks.

    âž•

    • You're doing most of it correctly.
    • Love the email box, which serves as a CTA for people to try out your products. It removes the friction of registration.
    • The small text underneath reassures your prospects that it's quite easy to try your product out and they don't have to put in their credit card. It's a nice small touch that can go a long way, especially when you scale, because it removes any doubts of how the amount of steps it'll take them to signup.

    âž–

    • Not sold on the headline. I know that it means that it's more affordable. But those who have been shopping (call them A) will know roughly the price tiers you're competing against, and those who don't know (B) about the value of a status page won't have a clue of the industry prices. Camp A will want something more actionable, like an actual price-point, while camp B will want to know more about the whole industry.
    • The headline is a bit too informal, in a clunky way. Being casual is good, but you need to do it correctly. I mean, what exactly is less? I know you mean that it's not expensive, but this can be misconstrued in so many ways. Is it cheaper, or is it easier to set up? What's less?
    • Free forever? Is it a trial? What is free forever? What are they signing up for?
    • The button does not really contribute than reinforce what people already know. They're getting a status page. Let's go further than that. What is your value? Buttons can be powerful storytelling mechanisms. This...just tells people that they can get a status page, but you don't state any value on it whatsoever and how it can make their life better/help prevent their current painpoints.
    • Grammar issues, but I'm pointing that out because I'm a jerk (ie it's not a big worry).

    Pointers:

    • You need to be more explicit about your audience! Use their language. Tap into what frustrates them and show how you can solve this frustration
    • The video is nice, but you can already start with the third gif. It highlights the value of the product in flesh.

    :D

    Great design and the application's features are displayed well.

    You may increase conversion by adding a CTA button somewhere between "Regain Time" and "Automate With Services You Use".

    You may consider my edits to some of your copy below.

    Up & Running in Seconds

      Oh thank youuu Greg for your feedback!! 😊 Sure I will!!

    Really great design! and very clear messaging.
    Are you targeting startups as your customer? I guess then "growing startups" social proof is fine.
    Also, where did you get your graphics? they look nice!

      Thank you!!

      Yeah, startups are my focus right now because statuspage.io already has the big companies. And my main advantage currently is pricing which bigger companies don't care about.

    Looks great to me! Agreed the cookie notification probably isn’t required?

    1. 1

      Thank you, Deweysi! Do you think it's too big? Or isn't necessary at all?

      1. 2

        From what I understand, you wouldn’t need it at all

    What cookies are you storing where you need that disclaimer?

    1. 1

      I use Google Analytics, Paddle payments, Hotjar, Crisp chat.

      These all store cookies, but they don't start unless you agree on cookies. I didn't spend time on it, it's all metomic.io :D

      Do you think the disclaimer is unnecessary or too big?

      1. 1

        Yeah, my eyes just kept gravitating towards it. If you don't need it, I'd remove it. Overall though, I think your design is really strong and effective.

    Good design
