Roast my landing page pleaseee :)

I'm trying to validate a new solution as I'm making a pivot on my startup.

It's a decentralized business reviews platform. This platform serves as a transparent alternative to existing solutions, that prevents fake reviews and provides more credible data about businesses' reputations. - (Currently only targeting Web3 / blockchain startups)

What is your feedback on my landing page? (I wanted to make it simple but also feel like it could probably have a few more information)

    I would say your top headline copy should be be flipped with your sub copy.

    -You should provide more in context examples of the product
    -Explain how it works
    -Talk about the vetting process
    -How a potential users can use it for there product
    -How does it differ from other solution in the market?

    1. 1

      Thanks for that :)

      The product isn't built and defined in full detail yet. I'm trying to validate a general solution instead of going very detailed on how it works.

      The idea for now is only to understand if there's interest in solving the problem and then talking to those interested people to understand how to best refine the solution.

      But there's definitely room for improvement in the communication about how this solves a problem no-one else does, for example.

    Pretty solid but I’d suggest
    1.) flipping your copy and putting the details of the solution first rather than the problem/solution flow you used
    2.) Explain a bit more about how it actually works and how it ensure reviews are real
    3.) More visuals

    1. 1

      Thanks. I agree with most, but I don't think putting the solution before the problem makes sense, as people more easily identify with a problem they have than a solution before understanding what problem it solves

      1. 2

        Yep I get and you are correct under normal circumstances but I’ve tested and in some instances drilling the solution from the rip while strategically intertwining pain points WON

  3. 2

    I like the idea. If it would also incentivise users to give feedback about the project, I would definitely use it for mine :)

    The landing page display is crisp .I would only suggest visiting the WOCS .To my eye, the display of the section WOCS is way too early..Perhaps, you can add additional content encompassing the offering and the impact,and then accommodate the section, post highlighting the impact.

      Thanks for that insight

    looks good simple and Stright to the point

      Thank you for your feedback

    Nice good looking page.

    Couple of questions that came up:

    1. is True Reviews your brand name especially True reviews with that sign underneath? If yes then website name needs to reflect that. As well as your logo should show in the tab.
    2. Its not clear whether you are suggesting false reviews would be 0 or it will be minimized. You might want to make it clear.
    3. Instead of a button which opens a form for sign up you can embed that form. First version can be to simply collect email and a button to waitlist and optional expansion of other fields. If you get too many sign ups then you can think of making these fields mandatory.

    Look and feel of reviews example is that of trust pilot, if you are comfortable you can at the start talk about problems with trust pilot that you are solving or may be the fact that you are using a very different (blockchain or some other) approach to capture reviews which will reduce fake reviews by xyz percent.

    All the best!

    1. 1

      Thank you for your feedback, concise and well structured!

      1. It's not the name. I don't have a name or logo yet, as this is still in validation and I didn't want to create a brand for something I haven't decided yet to fully go forward with. I'm currently announcing it as a new product of my existing startup

      2. Would be minimized. Realistically it's impossible to guarantee 0 fake reviews ever I think, although this system has the potential to dramatically reduce them. But I also agree I should find a better way to communicate that.

      3. I understand your point. The reason why I did this is to increase a little bit the effort needed to sign up for the waitlist. I feel like by doing this, I can better filter who's really interested and leave out those who are just curious but wouldn't even make the effort of filling up the remaining info. I may test the 2 different approaches tho.

      Yeah I've thought of mentioning the problems I'm solving in better detail, and probably will. I do it on the emails/DMs I send and on the social media posts I do when I share this landing page, but will likely add it also to the landing page.

    The message isn't cohesive.

    I don't get the premise, is it to randomly pick real reviews to show on my website? Does anyone currently do that or thinks they want that?
    Where would these feedback be pulled from? Where do I put your system in my flow?

    1. 1

      It's going to be an alternative to TrustPilot, that prevents fake reviews.

      A lot of businesses collect feedback on reviews platforms, the issue is that it's too easy to create fake reviews and their dispute resolution systems to fight against it are too biased and lack credibility and transparency. Something that we could solve with a DAO arbitration protocol.

      But to start off, we'll be releasing a more simple product that you can implement on your website to collect review from your users/community and showcase it there as well. Reviews are registered on a smart contract and fetched from it, but that's something developers won't have to deal with, they will only need to implement our widget.

      But I agree that this info should be there. Thanks for the feedback!

      1. 1

        How does this solve the social problems of reviews? How does it change the human and/or business incentives when writing reviews? Does this affect the psychology of the people writing the reviews?

        1. 1

          It doesn't need to change the psychology of the people writing the reviews. The big difference is that we'll use an existing and well established arbitration protocol to handle dispute resolution systems, on reviews that businesses believe are fake. By removing the reviews that are considered fake by this arbitration, as well as penalizing reputation for fake reviewers, we can prevent a lot of those fake reviews.

          It's not so much about trying to change people's intentions, it's about trying to make it pointless to fake reviews.

          1. 1

            And how is that going to happen?
            Many non fake reviews are the one single review that person has

            Who is arbitrating the process?

            What parts of these story are you communicating in the landing page?

            I think your trying so solve a fire with a hammer, you might get some, but I don't see how this is addressing the core pyromaniac

            1. 1

              Even if it's the one single review they have, if it's considered fake, it's removed - as simple as that.

              The arbitration process is done by Kleros, you can learn more about it https://kleros.io/

              I respect your opinion. The communication can definitely be improved.

              But in regards to be solving a fire with a hammer, I really disagree.

              The problem I'm trying to solve is fake business reviews. The solution proposed is not only penalizing fake reviewers, but most importantly, eliminating those fake reviews. This is done using an arbitration solution that has been tested and proven to be efficient in solving dispute resolutions - Kleros. Although it's unrealistic to say we'll eliminate 100% fake reviews, we can definitely drastically minimize them.

              There may be 100 or 1000 reasons why this should fail, it may fail indeed, but it doesn't seem to me you've pointed out any of those concrete reasons to be able to say that.

              Anyways, really appreciate your feedback. Going back and fourth with this is always helpful. Cheers bro

                Again is this for the site to police itself in it's own platform with its own rules or are you making a 3rd party platform with consistent rules? Or some mix in the middle... What grants this trust by a random user? Or is the belief that Kleros is a trusted brand name and as a result anything attached to it has standing for all users on all platforms?

                1. 1

                  Again, Kleros is the decentralized arbitration protocol that different applications can use to handle dispute resolutions based on specified rules by these apps.

                  In our case, standard rules and guidelines would be provided to handle the dispute resolution. Evidence is provided by the business opening a dispute and by the reviewer if they want to fight against the dispute. Based on that evidence, and the rules, different people vote and come up with a democratized decision.

                  The trust in this system is not about the Kleros brand only. It's mostly about them being a transparent system, proven to be very effective on handling decision making. Something you wouldn't be able to verify in any other Web2 solution.

                  As for the trust in our platform that uses this protocol to handle dispute resolutions, for most users who won't bother to learn about the systems that guarantee this effectiveness, trust has to come from showing them the effectiveness of our solution, transparently, and from consistently growing our brand. One can argue it's not an easy brand to grow, but the same applies to a lot of great solutions.

                  Any other question?
