Please gatherin to roast my page

  1. 1

    The background, in combination with the text, it's not readable enough. I needed to put in some effort to get through the content, and that's not something a regular user will do.

    If design isn't your strong suit, try out one of these starter templates:

    https://carrd.co/build

    (I am not in any way affiliated with Cardd, but the starting points are nice)

    And as @ArjenSchat pointed out;

    1. The autofocus of the whereby integration auto scrolls you to that form upon visit.
    2. It would be nice to have an introductory video or a couple of screenshots of what a co-working session looks like.

    If you have a new version, I am happy to have another look!

      Thanks @Twan, design isn't my strong suit for sure :)

      I will try add some background to the text, or change the colour.

      Some of the text "normally appears" under black background below the image, but I guess I can't "bank" on that...

      I currently use ConvertKit to host this, but might look at Carrd, I have heard good things about it.

      As per the screenshots, sadly I'm "Billy no mates" right now, which is part of the reason I'm doing it in the first place :)

      Ok @Twan I have:

      1. I've added shadow to text, to make it stand out more
      2. I've removed the iframe and only left timer/link to Whereby
      3. I've added a screenshot of me sitting there with a cup of coffee :)

        1. Better, now it's definitely more readable! Maybe drop the background opacity from 0.56 to 0.35.
        2. Better, the auto-scroll was confusing. Maybe open the link as _blank?
        3. Good touch. This makes it more personal. It's a good placeholder until you have a screenshot with more attendees.

        Maybe move the following copy below the title:

        DO YOUR INDIVIDUAL WORK IN THE COMPANY OF OTHERS...👩‍💻👨‍💻 ...JOIN VIRTUAL HOT-DESK TWICE A DAY! #METAVERSE

        I think it helps people understand the "what" before you show the sign-up form.

          I've made further improvements based on your suggestions @Twan 🙇

          1. 1

            It looks way better, man! I can only check mobile now, but I’ll check the desktop version once I am home.

            1. 1

              Desktop also flows way better now, great work man!

    The idea is:

    Do your individual work with others around in a virtual shared office 👩‍💻👨‍💻 #metaverse

    I want to organise productivity / accountability online co-working sessions twice a day... in a "virtual office space" on Whereby...

    Basically you drop in, at the start share (briefly) what you'll be working on (individually) this hour... then we all continue on mute with cameras on/off (as you choose). At the end of the hour we share your progress or drop off, it's that simple!?

    Done for #productivity #accountability #coworking

    1. 1

      For starters, your whereby integration has an autofocus in the field, forcing the browser to scroll down.

      Would be nice to see a screenshot of the interface when you are working together.

        Thanks @ArjenSchat I couldn't figure out how to remove it yet. Will look into it. The API is till in beta, might try some JS but not sure if it works in ConvertKit (my hosting solution for now).
