Roast my SaaS Boilerplate Landing Page

I'm developing the landing page for my new Python+Starlette SaaS Boilerplate, using the "landing page wireframe" from Donald Miller's Marketing Made Simple. The product isn't quite finished yet, but I'd love some critique of the landing page.

(I love Miller's approach to laying out a landing page. It gives strong guidance, and forces you to stay customer-focused. I'm starting to use this wireframe everywhere.)


  1. My question first and foremost: is the value offer clear?

  2. What do you like most about the page?

  3. What do you like least?

  4. What's boring?

  5. What's confusing?

  6. What don't you believe?

Here's the site. Have at it, and thank you!

    Hi David, nice work!

    Is the value offer clear?

    • Pretty clear! Ship products faster as a python dev

    What do you like most about the page?

    • Color scheme and your personal story/journey!

    What's confusing?

    • It requires a bit of mental load to not read "based" as the normal word I'm familiar with. I have to stop and remind myself "oh right that's the name of this product"

    What don't you believe?

    • I tend to think that web frameworks have most of the batteries included that I need. So, I'd love to see the difference between using "Based" and Django, for example. What actual time saving code do I get? Is it a curated list of dependencies + some glue code? What exactly am I getting? Those are my objections, and perhaps a way to solve it is through a video tutorial, or more detailed description of what batteries included means. Since you're targeting developers, I think it's OK to go deeper than the "buy -> sprinkle code -> you have a SaaS".

      Also, I really love the line "This time, you finish" :)
