I think my landing page sucks. I didn't update ut for the last 6 months. Can you roast it?

by Amine Aouragh

Hey everyone

Back in May 2022 I launched my first side project ever.

MovyDick - a movie recommendation app

In August 2022 I released the v2 with a new landing page.

I'm preparing for a ProductHunt launch but I think by now that my landing page that I didn't update for the last 6 months suck now haha

Can you roast it for me?

    @designaas actually built a positively hilarious business which could handle this. http://roastd.io/

    Personally though, one small note is the benefits/features section columns are too close together

    From a quick glance, I would say that there should be a CTA at the bottom of the landing page as well and not just the top. People will flip to another app/website if they get to the bottom and there's nothing there.

    Also your CTA should be more stronger than Start Now. Maybe a movie relate pun?

      thank you so much for the feedback, yeah the "start now" call to action has absolutely nothing to do with movies, shows or anything of that, that's why it sucks - i absolutely need to change it for sure - thank you so much.

      About including a CTA at the bottom too is a very good idea, i had it but then i removed it before. I really don't know why haha

      I think about including the CTA in almost every feature section. Like "Get a free movie recommendation now" or something like that. What do you think?

        I would test a few out and see what gets the most clicks.

        However I would write something like.

        "🔓Unlock your free movie recommendation now"

    Here is my opinion, it may not be what you are looking for, you should ask this to your users, but fair point this way you may find some. I mean who doesn't watch movies.

    1. put yourself into the shoes of someone who may be you key target, I suppose the Movie lover affectionado who watch every movie they can get their hands on. I suppose they may love dark spaces, softer design, they look for vivid emotion, they love pictures and videos - your landing page has nothing of this. the feeling in my opinion is disastrous. (being overly dramatic as you want it to be roasting)
    • quick fix: use dark theme colour palette, never use 100% colours, always go for 60-80% opacity, more smooth contrast, maybe serif font mixed with a sans serif (serif for accents = the part that should shine) use animation or a video that clearly and excplicitly show users how it feels like to use your service, set the expectations. use less words the title should be very very concise.

    An example of title could be:
    The place to discover what to watch next
    The 5 minute stop to find your next favourite movie
    One click, one suggestion

    the subtitle is good:

    the call to action could be something more emotional: find your next go-to just click here

    The page needs little more

    • margin-left
    • margin-right

    everywhere

    On /blog:
    I don't like the animation when hovering

    Best

    The page itself is neat, but may be a shorter headline would serve better. It should be something shorter and attention grabbing.
    Like "stream your world with MovyDick" or "Join the Streaming Revolution with MovyDick".
    I just felt "Pick a movie/show recommendation super fast & stop doomscrolling on Netflix" is too long.
