Looking for Feedback: Rapid Auth Landing Page
Hey everyone! I'm working on an authentication service called Rapid Auth that is kind of like the Google login but for every form of authentication. My initial plans are to have standard login, various social logins, and a blockchain wallet login.
I'm working on an MVP at the moment that I'm hoping to have released by the end of this week or early next week, but I have a landing page up that allows people to sign up for early access. I'd love if I could get some opinions on how to improve this page, especially since this is still pre-MVP!
The URL is https://www.rapidauth.me.
I look forward to hearing what everyone has to say!
You're advertising features, not benefits to your users. It feels like this is just a let's use this crypto-hype duct taped approach to authentication.
Why would I use/need your product beyond the crypto-hype?
Blockchain Authentication
Future proof your website by enabling blockchain authentication. No additional configuration required.
What does it even mean? How will this benefit me?
To me it sounds like total bullsh*t (but to me, most crypto-currency/blockchain is).
Asides from that, show your product on your landing page. How is it easy to setup and manage?
Here are a few ideas to help you improve on what you're doing:
I went back and re-worked the landing page a little bit. I left the features section, but added in some other areas that give a better description of how it'll benefit the users. I'd love it if you wouldn't mind taking a look and providing some more feedback (I'm sure there's still many places for improvement to be made).
I also reworked the description just a little bit because I was giving off the idea that this app is based entirely around blockchain authentication. As a matter of fact, that's actually just one way to login with all of the others that are on there as well, so hopefully it won't give off that same idea. I think the hardest part for me is that I have such a great understanding of what this product is going to be, I just am not 100% sure how to share that understanding. Thank you again!
It is much better. Here is what I would change:
Make Rapid Auth yours - Would replace by "See how easily you can setup authentication" (or along does line) and show the implementation steps. Your visitor isn't convince yet. Needs to see.
Discover Rapid Auth - Looks like a button but does nothing. Make it a title/subtitle and style accordingly.
I would swap config and code steps.
I would provide a minimal authentication js library to make it even easier. Something like:
RapidAuth.authenticate("<tenant/user unique token that you get from admin console>")
The js api could also have a few methods like RapidAuth.is_authenticated() and RapidAuth.logout()
I'm still not convinced about that blockchain authentication thing in your features.
That's great feedback. I'll go back and change the working and add/remove some things so it's more geared towards that idea. As I finish up the MVP, a lot of this will be easier to add as well (since not all of the UI is built).
One thing you can do is use low-fidelity mock-ups until you have something final. Anyway, I find it makes the development path easier/cleaner/faster when you already have some mockups to work with.
I'll definitely look into this. How would you go about creating these?
Whatever tool you want. Personally, I use Affinity Designer (low cost vector drawing tool similar to Illustrator), but there are many products in that space.
You can probably use figma (haven't used it but heard about it a lot), sketch, you could use paint.net if you're motivated. Anything that will allow you to show what your product will look like without taking as much time as coding it is fine.
Even pen and paper (not super nice for a demo/in place of a screenshot) could work.
