MVP built and ready for marketing… anyone interested?

I'm an architect and designer and built this productized service platform for architects to receive quick and affordable feedback on their design. The website is aimed at students, freelancers, small teams and even clients wanting to get a second opinion on their architect's work.

https://www.critello.com/

The MVP is pretty rough, but I tried my best to get it done alone (with no technical skills at all), and I'm ready to start testing the first clients. Anyone interested in partnering up to help me market this and get it in front of the right eyes?

Feel free to email me at waelmashini@gmail.com and we can always continue the disccusion there.

Cheers!

    Hey Wael,

    Here's my feedback:

    • Your logo doesn't need to be the biggest thing in your header - your headline should be the most prominent thing.

    • Make your header more interesting (it's just black) and add a coloured CTA button.

    • Not sure about the pricing as I don't know anything about collecting feedback for architecture designs.

    • Smoothness of the page isn't great for me. Sometimes parallax scrolling can mess up the page performance/cause stuttering, so I'd minimise this if possible.

    Good luck to you!

        Thank you JamesWalsh and webapppro, that was very helpful from both of you, It's funny because as someone that's working completely alone to build this I need the kind of service my website offers, I need feedback from your perspective.

        There's definitely a LOT of room for improvement, even at this MVP stage, so I will keep iterating till I actually get a significant number of users.

        webapppro, interested in partnering up for some marketing? I'd like to market it as I continue improving the landing page.

        Thanks again for the feedback.

            Thanks webapppro,

            Your insights and feedback is very helpful, I agree with what you're trying to say about me just bootstrapping and marketing it myself (since I already have an idea of who I want to target).

            As for the subscription idea, it's definitely my goal, I just wanted to test out the first few months on my own without developing the platform or investing money into building an intricate site.. my thoughts are to do that once I've validated my idea.

            Anyways, I'm on board with your mailing list. Thanks again for your advice!

    I've no clue of what kind of architecture your site is talking about. I am confused.

    Is it information architecture in the sense how to structure information in a system?
    Is it UI/UX design?
    Are we talking about software architecture?
    Is it real construction architecture?

    From the images, it could be UI design or even house building. Besides the site mostly talks about design, not architecture.

      The site is for building design architecture, so I will make sure that is better understood.

      Thanks!

    Hi Wael!
    I think this look pretty nice and gets the job done. I was curious about the business plan and the structure. Are you personally offering architecture consulting services?

      Hi Leonardo, at this point I have to be honest and say I don't have a written out business plan, it's more of an idea I thought could be useful to people (based on my experience of people needing this service) and just thought to make an MVP to test it out.
      For now, I build this alone and will be offering consulting on my own.

    misspelling on your main pitch: "Quick feedback on you architecture designs." -> your*

      Got it! I'm updating the landing page and was still working on it.

      Thanks!
