Just launched my first productized service for code review - any feedback?

Hi everyone! I've just launched my first productized service! I offer code review services or long-term mentorship.

I'd appreciate any feedback on the idea! Specifically I'd like some feedback on:

  • Have you ever had the need to get your code reviewed?
  • What do you think of the business model?
  • What do you think of the landing page design?
  • What do you think of the scope of the product?
  • What do you think of the clarity of the product offer?

    Have you ever had the need to get your code reviewed?
    On this question:
    Ask yourself who would like to have their "precious" code reviewed ? :)
    Would your like to have you code reviewed ?

    What do you think of the business model?
    I think you better don't mix code review with the word mentorship. That's only my opinion.

    What do you think of the landing page design?
    Your top menu links don't work. They are directed to "#" :)

    Look at this message you write:
    "Anatolii is a senior software engineer with 10+ years of experience in software development. He has worked with a wide range of technologies, in programming and management roles, mentored 10+ students throughout his career."

    So with 10 years of experience you only mentored 10+ students ? .. forget the plus sign people look at the number 10. For you everything is 10+ ? That only works for me if i'm going to eat icecream :)

    What do you think of the scope of the product?
    Better skip the mentorship thing. Stick to code review.

    What do you think of the clarity of the product offer?
    The clarity is not so good. You don't offer a product you are offering a service. Code review.

    Let me give you a hint:

    1º Make something to explain how your code review works and what it includes.

    2º Your service is CODE REVIEW

    3º For every 1000 lines of code reviewed you want $100

    Now you can build your prices:

    up to 300 lines
    you pay ...

    from 300 to 10000 lines
    you pay ...

    More than 10000
    you pay ...

    I wish you the best of luck to your project

      Ask yourself who would like to have their "precious" code reviewed ? :)

      Wait until it doesn't work or becomes unmaintainable mess :) e.g. codementor.io is one platform that successfully has this product.

      forget the plus sign people look at the number 10

      I mean, a number with a plus sounds better than a number without a plus :)

      Let me give you a hint...

      Great points! It seems the weakest point so far is the scope. I'll try to focus on code review only, that is single-out one product. Thanks for the feedback!

    Hi, Toli.

    Congrats on launching your service 👏🏽
    I just checked the landing page out. Here are a few things I suggest:

    • The menu bar should replace the 'What we do' button.

    • Overall, the landing page copy could be better. Your message isn't clear

    • The FAQs section is missing. It's important to handle objections before it even crosses your client's mind

    Hope this helps!

      Thank you for the feedback Iveren! That's really useful!

      The menu bar should replace the 'What we do' button.

      You mean it would be good to remove "Book now" and "What we do" buttons in favour of the menu? Yeah, makes sense, I just checked, from mobile screen size they indeed take too much space - thanks for catching that one!

      The FAQs section is missing. It's important to handle objections before it even crosses your client's mind

      What kind of objections do you see here?

        What kind of objections do you see here?

        Clients usually wonder about these...

        • What happens after they book?
        • How do they reach you? Calls? Async platform like Trello? Emails?
        • How do you deliver the work?
        • Some details in each pricing plan. Clarify any thing you think they might not understand.
