Roast my landing page πŸ”₯

I've reached a significant milestone in this transition to the life of an indie hacker: I've completed my first landing page 😱.

https://www.oniva.io/

Can you suggest improvements?

Feel free to be brutally honest. I can take the criticism. πŸ˜‰

    Quick thought:

    The "Don't think that demotivation isn't a reality in your team" section induces its fair share of anxiety, good job. Have you considered framing that message with a "before vs after" section to show the stark differences after using your product?

    1. 1

      No, I hadn't thought of that before, but you've given me an idea for something I can work on this week. I think it will be great to incorporate that right on the first page of the website. Thank you for the insight!

  2. 2

    I think you need to add the proper value to the hero !

  3. 2

    Please work on SEO for your website. It plays a major role. And would recommend to phrase the context related to the hooks and sub hooks of your website

    1. 1

      I've worked on it a bit, including tags, titles, meta-descriptions, and of course, copywriting. However, I have to confess that I'm not an expert in the field; I've learned from some online courses and materials. I'll follow your advice and work on improving my copywriting. Thank you very much!!

      1. 2

        Also please work on persona specific. Check Agile methodologies.... might help with team enagement context.

        1. 1

          I'll check it out! I really appreciate your help!

    I actually really like your landing page. Have been working on the same idea, and think there's great potential. You're doing a good job in describing what your product is like and why it matters. With quite a few companies offering similar-ish products, you may wanna add how you're different.

      Thank you very much for the compliments! I spent a lot of time thinking about this landing page. I'll consider your advice; I think it's worth incorporating that idea into the landing page. Just out of curiosity: are you also building a SaaS for employee rewards and recognition?

      1. 2

        Yeah we were working on something like that. Idea is maybe a bit different; focussing not so much on giving points when achieving specific results but also letting coworkers know you appreciate them for just being a great person. But yeah, idea of recognition and rewards are similar!

        1. 1

          Very nice idea! When your landing page is ready, please, let me know, so I can help you too! πŸ˜‰

    I think the banner image is too cluttered, making it difficult for users to focus on the content.

    1. 1

      Many people have said the same thing. I'm working to slim it down. Thank you very much for your help! ;)

    I am going to do a quick roast :)

    What is the meaning of Oniva ?

    i hate the "join the waitlist" button ... in every site i enter ... and you have it 4 times ... i hate it LOL :)

    in this link https://www.oniva.io/how-it-works

    look ate the sequence of this ...

    "If you want to cultivate stronger team motivation with Oniva, consider these helpful tips" ... and then appears ... the join waitlist button ... so the tip is to join the waitlist ? ... i hate it LOL ... i know the tips are below the button ... but button is messing with the tip sequence ... i hate it LOL :)

      Oniva is a stylization of the sound in Portuguese from the French phrase 'On y va.' 'On y va' means 'here we go!,' and I thought it could be a cool name for software that addresses motivation and team work.
      I took your suggestion into consideration and removed the 'Join the waitlist' button from some places. I must confess I did go a bit overboard with it, haha. I added that button to have a clear call to action since I'm still running some tests on the system before officially launching it, but I wanted to see if there was already some interest beyond the people who have tested the system so far, you know?

    I'd be curious to know what you used to create this. Did you code it up yourself or use a website builder?

    1. 1

      I coded the entire website. I used Next.js and Material UI, and animation libraries like Framer and Animate.css. As for the visual assets, some are from image banks, and others are drawings I created in Illustrator.

    Hi! Hope this helps:

    1. Consider highlighting the first sentence, "EMPLOYEE REWARDS & RECOGNITION PLATFORM." Additionally, it appears a bit too close to the navigation; adding a bit more padding would improve its readability.
    2. The WhatsApp and money icons seem a bit oversized, reducing their size would draw more attention to the title, making it the focal point.
    3. Consistency in padding throughout the website is essential, ensure that the spacing between elements is uniform.
    4. Make sure that the 3 squares on your website all have the same height for a more polished look.
    5. It might be helpful to include a brief section on the homepage that explains how it works, giving visitors a quick overview. (You only have a few seconds to convince someone to use your platform, so it's crucial to convey as much information as possible on the homepage.)

      Surely, this has helped me a lot! I've already started adjusting my page taking your tips into consideration. Thank you very much for helping me!

    Your landing page seems very nice. How it works page gifs are taking a while to load though.

      Thank you! I just made the adjustments. I replaced the GIFs with videos. I hope that helps!
