      Hello @aj_alkasmi no it is not late, it never does :)

      Congrats for your startup.

      When I opened your landing page it loads really slow because of images you used. Since the opening image loads really slow, it shows only a white screen. Your fonts are also white :)

      Signup buttons are little bit annoying on the right. I prefer a signup button at the top and a new page can be opened with signup options - in which you can use google analytics to trace how many users clicked, popups generally not good in terms of analytics-

      There is not a pricing or FAQ link on the first page. The first link I click is a service features, generally it is states in FAQ or Pricing pages.

      I would definitely change your headline to more simple one more like

      "Crush any goal and conquer any challenge at work"
      "Your AI powered virtual coach to uncover deeper awareness, unlock breakthroughs, and reinforce your learnings inside you"

      And a happy illustration like these it should state "you achieved the great thing"

      Instead to write "you are in a good company" -you are a service- just say

      "Professionals from Fortune 100 loves Blossom." and instead of company logos, you can put people, real people with images and their thougts about your service.

      And your features will be next.

        I liked your statements like
        "Harvard research found just 15 minutes of reflection after work can increase productivity by 23%"

        "Studies show daily reminders make it 88% easier to stick to healthy habits"

        "Ten years of coaching without reflection, is simply one year of coaching repeated ten times."

        These are the converting sentences you should use in your landing page.

          Hey @melihbirim -- thanks a ton for the feedback and suggestions - this is super valuable.

          We're working on optimizing the speed issue right now w/ lazy loading. This is a big conversion killer so hopefully will get fixed ASAP!

          Appreciate your points on the page layout and design. We are about to select a a good template-based landing page builder that we can use to make a more modern / standard UI page.

          Still finalizing the exact pricing model, but hoping to get a pricing page published soon too. I was thinking the pricing page itself could have FAQs underneath - I've seen a few sites that do it that way. Thoughts?

          Thanks also for all of the thoughts re: headline / other copy & messaging. I like your suggestions.
          By the way: one misconception I've heard from a couple of people so far is that they assume Blossom is purely an AI-based coaching product. In reality, there is an AI aspect, but we also offer (premium) users the ability to connect with real (human) coaches for 1:1 sessions. Any thoughts on how to better make this come through? One thing we want to do is on the first iphone image on the landing page ("Speak with an expert coach, on-demand") to put a few profile pictures of some of our coaches. What do you think?

          Happy to keep you posted as we roll out these updates, if you're interested. Thank you again for all of the golden feedback. Much appreciated.

          1. 1

            hey.
            I am glad if my comments make it little bit better :)

            Nowadays, Science Based means AI so it is normal everybody thinks the same.

            You have a chicken-egg problem in terms of coaches and users. If you are a coach then promote yourself first as founder, get user feedbacks and then get new coaches then follow the pattern for every coach will be my way of getting users.

            And create content about personal coaching + how it helps people.

    I just want to start off by saying this is a very generous offer and I appreciate you providing your feedback and expertise for new products.

    I have created a website called GoodPlates. It is a recipe site that is designed to minimize the choice paralysis people face when they go recipes sites and see a million recipes immediately. I sort of modeled the UX similar to Tinder where you only see a single item at a time and the user can navigate to see the next / previous items. The product is still in its early stages so some of the data regarding the cuisine / diet may not be entirely accurate.

      Hello @jairamp .

      • Name is great, an app (PWA) would be awesome. There is no need you to be an app in stores but instead PWA will work.

      • Users generally look for recipes from their mobile phone or tablet (I know because me and my wife using recipe web sites, constantly) these links in their mobile, so you should think about mobile first design.

      • For Tinder like application, I think 'minimalism' will be your key at this point. But showing at least 3 new recipes does not kill anyone, instead it increase the spend time in your web site.

      • Apart from cuisines I would suggest a recommendation engine like spotify's first onboarding - Asking you which artist you like most - you can ask questions to offer a recipe like, which cuisines do you like most(show cuisines with their flags or known places -Eiffel tower for French, Hagia Sofia for Turkish...) -> Do you have any diet (vegan, gluten free etc.) -> do you have time to cook (Yes, No) -> show them one recipe

      • Favorite a dish is not a killer feature but if you want people to turn your website, there should be a personalisation.

      • Colors, colors and finally font. Food are always colorful, red, yellow, green, brown. But having white on the background and font with nice typography will convert more users.

      • "a million recipes immediately" yep it is going to be your headline I guess but again, showing one more food recipe does not kill anyone.

      Regards.

        Thank you so much for the response! I will respond to your comments inline:

        Users generally look for recipes from their mobile phone or tablet (I know because me and my wife using recipe web sites, constantly) these links in their mobile, so you should think about mobile first design.

        Agreed. I tried to minimize the amount of information the user has to look at so that mobile users would have a good experience. I'm still fiddling with the zoom / navigation UX.

        For Tinder like application, I think 'minimalism' will be your key at this point. But showing at least 3 new recipes does not kill anyone, instead it increase the spend time in your web site.

        I feel like adding more items per page would make it less standard. It also adds more things the user has to focus on. What do you think?

        Apart from cuisines I would suggest a recommendation engine like spotify's first onboarding

        Do you think that the selection bar at the top fulfills this requirement? It also allows users to go back and update their preferences if they want to.

        Favorite a dish is not a killer feature but if you want people to turn your website, there should be a personalisation

        Agreed, with favoriting, a user would need to create an account and I wanted to remove the barrier to entry for my site. I figured if enough people asked to favorite a recipe, I would add it in the future.
