πŸ”” Landing page feedback for web app notification product

Hey everyone!

We recently made our landing page for Notifly, a web app notification product. Would love some feedback on our landing page at www.notifly.io.

Would love any answers to the following questions:

  1. Is it clear to you what our service does?
  2. Do you have any questions or concerns that are not being addressed on the landing page?
  3. General feedback to the page.

Thanks a lot in advance :)

    While browsing I had the question in my head if it handles Android/iOS notifications. Once that was answered (web embedded and email), my question was how does a notification get triggered. Probably a Javascript command?

    But otherwise I'd say a very good landing. I got the initial idea immediately.

    How did you build this though? I'm a dev with no design skills and having lots of trouble with my landing.

      Hi @krister, thank you for providing us feedback! πŸ™Œ I used Figma to mock up the page, implemented it in Webflow and made the animation in the hero section with SVGator. If you're looking to upgrade your design chops, I suggest you check out the Refactoring UI book by Adam Wathan and Steve Schoger. They're coming from the angle of helping developers with practical design tips. They also recently launched a component library that includes a lot of well-designed sections for landing pages, it's called Tailwind UI. I haven't used it yet, but looks like a good framework for building well-designed pages fast ✌️.

        Tailwind and Refactoring UI are the same people? wow.. Then I should indeed get on it.. Thanks for the tips. Perhaps SVGator would also benefit me.

      Thanks for this! I will let @simonlind who actually made the page (design + implementation) talk about how he did it.

      In terms of how to trigger a notification, we try to show it in step 3 of "Get up & running in no time". Was that not clear when looking at the page?

        omg I actually read that part, but didn't click. Yet I can't imagine it being more clear either, so must be me.

    Hej. Nice page! Here are my thoughts

    • Your logo seems a bit weird, what is it?
    • Design looks very good!
    • The secondary action "read our docs", is not really that interesting at the moment. Maybe put in a demo or see it in action?
    • Most frameworks have something build in that takes care of most notifications over multiple channels. How is this better/easier? For example I use Laravel https://laravel.com/docs/master/notifications.
      Hope this helps!

    I'm also working hard on my landing page, would love to hear your advice!

      Hi @Ruben88,

      β€’ The idea for the logo is based around wax from an old letter seal. And it also has the round shape of the badge you often see in notification widgets. So I thought it did a good job at representing what we do (sending emails and delivering in-app notifications). And then I just thought it was funny trying to take a different approach to a logo and not have it only be a solid color, but a mix of different fades and opacities.
      β€’ Thanks!
      β€’ The idea with linking to the docs is that this page is primarily targeting developers. We have a hypothesis that what they're often looking for first when visiting a page for a new product, they want to read the docs to assess the tool. We do plan on making a video demo at one point though.
      β€’ I'm not very familiar with the Laravel framework, so I can't speak to that directly. But from my understanding after glancing over the docs real quick, is that it's a 'codebase-only' framework that handles notifications. Notifly is more than that. We offer a widget, a GUI and provide email sending out of the box. It's definitely a valid question and I'll make sure to share it with the rest of the team to discuss how we can communicate the difference more clearly.

      Super helpful @Ruben88, thanks! I'll make sure to take a look at your landing page and give feedback to you as well :).
