After two weeks working, only after my day job, on the landing page, I realize that it wasn't looking professional enough. So, as today is the first day of my holidays, I was able to spend all day redesigning it and I just launched it.
Check it out: idlelessapp.com
So, I ask you guys, is the value proposition clear? It's good enough so I can go back to work only on the mvp launch?
And I just keep thinking to switch headline with subheadline, do you think it would be better?
Thank you all!
The value prop is clear. I guess it's a similar thing to something like Cloud Functions, or Lambda or Cloud Run.
I think the headline/subheadline works as it is. I wouldn't change it.
Minor thing: For me, the hero background cuts into the "Meet Idleness" heading. Maybe you can give that a look.
Hey, @stephenafamo, thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate that.
Can you tell me what device you were using? Desktop, mobile phone, tablet, or laptop?
I'm also gonna try to improve the copy or create a video of the product, because I think you get the value prop wrong.
The product goal is to be a service where you can schedule what machine type you want for each part of the day and of the week. By doing that you can save money with less expensive machines running at night, for instance.
So, it does not apply to serveless applications due to their nature.
I'm using a Macbook Pro 16"
Browser: Chrome 85
I understand that it does not apply to severless applications, I assumed it was more like bringing the flexible scaling of severless apps to non-severless applications.
Is this correct?
Thanks for the info. I will try to reproduce and fix it.
And, yes, that's correct. I didn't understand what you meant in the first time I read your comment.
In my day job we have a highly coupled code, so we cant move to serveless to solve this scaling problem. We solve part of this problem creating cron jobs to scale basicly everything, but now it's not organized at all.
So, I'm creating this product thinking that it is a problem that other companies might have too.
Hey @vitorsilvestre
The site looks good but the copy has some broken English, you should get a native English speaking copywriter to review it.
Thanks for the feedback, @harlanzw.
I goonna search for this kind of service. It's time to pay for those that really know what they are doing haha.
No problem :) You can find a friend or someone else to review it, a customer would be best. The copywriting, in general, you can figure out yourself, it's a good skill to pick up and forces you think about your customer.
I have a bit of a gripe with your main tag line. It assumes the customer only wants to reduce speeds of a site. It doesn't address what the value proposition is of your service. You need to validate the problem you're solving and target that in the copy, here are my ideas on what that could look like:
"Save 40% On Your Cloud Bill"
"Stop Wasting Money On Idle Services"
"Pay For What You're Using"
And I'd recommend you check out the following resources:
Yeah, I think I started the headline with the wrong approach.
I was thinking of it in a way to only get the user's attention and I forgot to explain the value prop at the same time.
I liked your headline suggestions, especially the second one. I will try to come with something similar that works well with my targeting customers :)
Also I've already seen the first resource, I just loved it. I'm gonna check the second one now.
And, man, thanks for your time. I really appreciate your comments and recommendations.
