Love the concept behind BackendChallenges.com—learning backend by solving real-world problems is way more effective than passive tutorials, especially for developers trying to build portfolio-ready skills.

The key question you’re tackling is strong: “can practice-based learning replace theory-first courses?” That’s a solid positioning angle if the landing page makes the outcomes super concrete.

Hello, I check it out, it nice but I would like to ask you some few questions about it.
Do you mind if I go ahead.

Sorry for dropping too late, but I'll give you my honest feedback.

1. Hero section uses a very common and vague language. Better would be something like - From Developer to Architect : Learn what real engineers know — how to design scalable systems, make tradeoffs, and solve problems like it’s production, not a coding test. That pulsating animation on main CTA can be removed for better UX.
2. You really don't need that irritating popup coming every time I try to move my mouse above the page, it looks like you are too desperate. In fact whole page looks like you are selling something, while you are offering it for free. Even when you sell you won't be able to sell with a desperate messaging.
3. Hero Section CTA can be improved to something like "Explore the Roadmap" instead of being too salesy. You are dealing with developer audience they don't even like smell of salesy content.
4. Instead of telling who is this platform for, you can show who is this for by showing roadmaps you have under learning paths in a tree like format, developer are smart enough to find their position and where they should go next. Your tree like representation will guide them without saying you are guiding them, they will be more engaged. Please please please get rid of the popup it might be doing more harm than benefits.
5. Overall you need to change your language from sales to mentor. Few instances like:
   Is BackendChallenges Right for You? → Are you a fit?
   What You'll Gain from Our Platform → Engineering, Not Just Coding — Here’s How You’ll Grow
   What Engineers Are Saying → Engineers Who Get It
   Ready to Future-Proof Your Software Engineering Career? → Remove this section not needed.
   CTAs like Transform your career today → Take the challenge.

P.S. Overall design and theme is good, messaging is the only factor I won't start the course as it feels like you are desperately selling me something and want to run away as soon as possible. (From software engineer with 15 YOE)

hey, that popup "Psst! Before you go..." is jumping in my eyers and I can't see what your SaaS is about
