Roast my landing page

by Ronald Castillo

Hey there, amazing community! 👋

I've been hard at work crafting what I believe is the ultimate landing page, but I know it can always be better.

That's where you come in! I'm looking for your honest feedback, insights, and constructive criticism to help me turn this landing page into an absolute masterpiece. 🎨

I would also love to hear your thoughts on the product :)

Please drop your thoughts and suggestions in the comments below. I promise you won't hurt my feelings and your expertise is greatly appreciated. 🙏

Here is my website:
https://fyrescale.com/

Thank you!

    Hello! I looked at your site, below you can see the things I noticed.

    General

    • I am unstable about how good Fyrescale is. Why should I trust you? How will this app be a better AWS pro than me? Will I really get the lowest spend on AWS? These questions could be answered by showing on the page why you are good in AWS (for example you have X years of practice with it, etc.).
    • You state your dashboard is simple. Where can I see that? What features does the dashboard have? Put videos and images of your product on the site.
    • There is a section about the most common questions. The first two questions make no sense. The landing page should answer what is this and who is it for. Explain these upper.
    • Little style question: Why FAQ answers are italic?

    Technical

    • Color contrast ratio issues. Use CSS Overview.
    • Use transparent images. For example the main image has white background, thus people with automatic dark themed browsers will have to see a white box around your image which is annoying (see this screenshot for an example).
    • The site's speed and accessibility can be improved. For example few images don't have alt text which is considered one of the basic practices of accessibility. The alt text missing on images is a big deal. Use Lighthouse to see more mistakes.
    • The site is perfectly responsive. Good job!

    I hope I could help you. I will happily review your site again after you changed some things on it. Feel free to contact me.

      Thank you for the feedback Viktor I really appreciate it.

      Let me answer your questions in the General:

      • I can see how maybe my message is confusing. I am trying to convey to the user that FyreScale will spin up a high-scalable, secure environment without you having to pay an SRE/DevOps team to do it. It will create all the necessary VPC/routes, clusters, security groups, etc. with just a few mouse clicks. Otherwise, your alternative are to build it yourself which is costly as you will have to hire an SRE/DevOps engineers or go to a hosted platform like Heroku you are paying a premium for those services, are vendor locked, and usually you open an AWS account on the side anyway to use some of their other services. Let me know if that makes sense. I think this part is vital that everyone understands what I'm trying to build.

      • It's still in early dev as to why I omitted but it's a valid point!

      • Valid point again. No arguments here.

      • No reason, I didn't build this from scratch I am using unicornplatform and I guess that was the default.

      As far as the technical goes, I agree with all your comments here.

      Again thank you for the feedback Viktor it is really appreciated and if you ever need feedback on any of your projects please don't hesitate to reach out.

        I see your point! Now your message makes sense. I think you should include the "without you having to pay an SRE/DevOps team to do it" part in your copy, I think that is a powerful motivation to use your serice.

        You are more than welcome, I love to help others. Could you give me your e-mail address or write me an email? In the near future I will have a product you could help me with.

    From my five-second test, the main point I recall is that you are competing on price only.

    For a small business in any industry, that has never been a good business strategy. You won't win.

    Lower prices are just a race to the bottom. Find some way to add real value to what you are offering, not just make it cheaper.
