Roast my landing page: Vitaely

Hello!
You have a great landing page. A few suggestions I would make:

1. Use a different picture either in the "show off your best work section" or the carousel above just so there is no duplicate photo content.
2. This may be more of a personal thing but the carousel moving left as you scroll down gives me a weird vibe. I like movement but would like better if I could move it myself by scrolling left or right on it rather than it being generated by my down scroll.

Other than that it looks great to me!

Hi Aaron,

I don't think it needs roasting - I think it's very good.

I hope a couple of observations may help:

1. In my experience, most real-world business folk who are on LinkedIn but not in a tech start-up neither know nor care about Product Hunt. So if you're trying to reach a broad LinkedIn audience beyond tech and you introduce a headline which most people won't understand the significance of, they may find their first impression a little mysterious - as in "what's this for?"

2. The wide landscape spread of screenshots and your picture is a bit of an overload for the initial impression. If the page began with the first item below the fold "Show off your best work", that feels like a much stronger and clearer first impression - viewers "get that" straight away.

Hope this helps

Under "Show off your best work," which I thought I perfectly understood, I was then thrown by "Smart Chain Tracker 2021: Track the value of your BSC crypto portfolio" underneath the graphic. I'm guessing that the combination of image+text is meant to be an exemplar of what "Aaron Butler's" LinkedIn page would generate, but the context doesn't make that clear. I felt like image+text was supposed to tell me something directly about Vitaely, but then Smart Chain Tracker just looked like an ad for another service.

I think it might be the unexpected specificity of "Smart Chain Tracker" that causes the problem. If you mean it as an exemplar of project by a fictitious person, then it should be playing the role of lorem ipsum text, but its concrete, nongeneric specificity takes my mind and attention away from Vitaely to thinking about crypto.

Yes, I now see "Choose the information from your Linkedin (sic) profile that you want to display on your resume." But the way my eyes moved was (1) "Show off your best work" → (2) Image → (3) "Smart Chain Tracker" → (4) Started to compose this comment due to my confusion and only now do I see the secondary text under "Show off your best work."

Hey Aaron, took a quick glance. Here are a few thoughts!

1. The horizontal carousel scroll as I scroll down the page was a little disorienting for me. Not sure if you are getting anything out of that effect because my instinct is to flip through the carousel to see all the screenshots and I'm not able to.

2. I'd like to see more examples. The headline is perfectly clear "Turn your Linkedin profile into a website". I think what's less clear is "why I need this?" and to show me how great the resulting website looks.

3. I feel like there needs to be more contrast between your white background and the slightly darker tan cards you are using as the backdrop for the different sections.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Matt

I think the site title / caption "Turn your LinkedIn profile into a website" sounds good and is easy to understand.

Moving the screenshots horizontally while I scroll vertically is (very) annoying.

The "FEATURED ON Product Hunt" badge on the left is distracting and it makes your product seem less professional / unproven to me.

There is a general problem on the page that I get confused whether I'm looking at screenshots of your product or example outputs. Maybe you can add some descriptive text saying that this is an example website of a product designer. Maybe even add a screenshot of their LinkedIn page?

Good luck!
