Please I need some hate for my idea/landing page
Could you please give some hate for my idea/landing page?
I made the landing page in just 30 minutes, including the logo and some images. (I used a template)
Do you understand the idea/concept?
Do you like the landing page design? (I know some tweaks have to be done)
Is it clear what it is pretending to do? What would you improve?
Im bad expressing my ideas, but hopefully you understand it
**** Please note, no input is working yet, im just doing this to get some feedback. Dont take into account the footer it's wrong, and also some spelling errors, just noticed.
heres the link:

Some of the feature that I would add:
- Email template builder
- Metrics on how each email template works
- A/B email testing to see which template is a better choice
- One time payments/recurring emails
- API access
- Webhooks
Looks clean and modern. Really can't say anything bad about the design.
However, I don't know who it is for. Invoicing is such a broad field, that I can't even imagine your customer. I could be wrong, because I don't deal with invoicing that much, but I think it still can be more clear.
Take a step back - who are you building this for and what are they paying for right now that they are unhappy with? The landing page comes after you can answer that question.
How could I collect such questions? My target would be people using payment processors and dont have or need a website, they only want to collect payments but dont want to setup a website.
Thanks for feedback.
I would urge you to take a step back. You are designing a solution that is looking for a problem.
Here are the questions you need to answer before you move forward with the product:
Who are the people who don’t need a website, but need payments?
(You can probably come up with at least 5 answers)
When I ask these people how they collect payments now, do they seem frustrated and/or are overpaying for that service?
When I ask these people if having a personal website is important to them, do they say “No, I only do it so I can collect payments.”?
If the answers to these three aren’t a resounding YES! then you should think long and hard before continuing
Great thank you - Ill take a step back and try to find this audience.
That is a good way to validate your idea.
The website overall looks great for 30min of work, but needs more information to convince customers.
However, i don't believe in the idea, and it sounds like it has been done before. If it hasn't then i am sure there is a good reason for it, as it is very easy to do. The idea is also very easy to copy so you could very easily be pushed out of the market by bigger companies.
Youre right, it needs more information and clearer. So don't you believe even if there's competition that I could get a share in the market? By making something more "valuable"?
I mean I want to add great features like:
The idea is basically get the email with the pay button and get redirected directly to the form where the users inputs his credit card details. Then with webhooks notify the the merchant to let him know that the customers has paid.
Thanks for the feedback!
It is so easy to do, why has not every online payment system done it?
How many competitors are there? I am expecting quite a few.
Have you found at least 10 people or several companies that would use your product?
How are you going to make money from it?
Even if you do make it a success, a larger competitor could swoop in and kill your company.
I am not saying you couldn't make money from it, but you are certainly making things difficult for yourself. I feel you have a very high chance of wasting your time, and i would really like you to be working on something that has a high chance of success.
Sorry, i am being direct and honest because i am trying to help you.
Competition isn’t bad, if you have a unique selling proposition that the bigger companies can’t or won’t compete with. But I’m worried that OP needs to validate that USP (payment collections without a personal website) first before diving in
@Kevcon80 any ideas or places (i.e subreddits) where I can try to find potential customers?
Start with making a list of groups who need to send invoices without necessarily needing a website.
Freelancers? Plumbers? Electricians?
Then, find out where they group together online. It will be different for each group but ideas of places to look are:
Reddit
Facebook groups
Online forums
Slack groups
LinkedIn
It’s also possible that your group has little online presence. This is good to know because it means that, if you target them, you’ll have to first identify a different channel of reaching them
