What do you think about my landing page?

by Dieudonne Awa

I recently finished designing the landing page for my personal website. The website name is Awa Creates. I used Typescript, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, NodeJS, Mongoose, and MongoDB as the stack.

It is a place where I provide free tutorials, articles, and answers to questions about full-stack development in Typescript/JavaScript.

Check it out and let me know what you think: Awa Creates.

Would greatly appreciate feedback on the theme, typography, layout, copy, and performance.

    Howdy @dieudonne

    TL;DR ⭐️

    1. Overall a good setup for a personal site
    2. What is the #1 action you want visitors to do? (Hint: hire you)
    3. Everything else is secondary

    BREAKDOWN 🎯

    • Initially, I did not realize this was a personal website. Thought it was an agency or a business. Make it more personalized as you are selling yourself.
    • Your primary goal is to get hired. That is your #1. Make that the focus and all the other pieces will fall into place.
    • Make your Headline about your skill as a programmer for hire.
    • You have a strong rating on Upwork. Make that clearly known. Show that you are available for hire through Upwork, you have a 5-star rating, etc.
    • Add testimonials. I see several great quotes on your Upwork page. Use those and start cultivating more testimonials as you complete client work.
    • Add information about how potential clients can engage with you for work.
    • Get rid of the Google Sign In button. Why is that there? No idea.
    • Change your contact button and links to say "Work with me"
    • Build a longer Work With Me contact form. Ask for more details about the project type, requirements, and budget. That will sift out anyone not serious and show potential clients that you're different than others.
      • Add a range of budget prices. That way you set the expectation for what it will cost to work with you.
    • Feature your Github account more. You have a strong-looking Github profile.

    TELL A STORY 📖

    1. You are for hire (make this clear).
    2. You have the right skills (what skills and tools do you offer).
    3. You are capable and trustworthy (you have worked for other clients and have good ratings).
    4. It's easy to connect.

    Good stuff, Awa. Hope that helps!

      Wowww

      Thanks for the powerful feedback @calebsylvest.

      You've given me so many powerful points to work on. I will definitely turn these points into tasks. Just like you said, I'm going to write a good story around my #1 action which is getting hired.

      Thanks again for the feedback, this is going to help me a lot.

    As a designer with 10+ years of experience I can recommend you:

    1. Change color palette. Blue on black is not the best solution. The whole website looks so "oldie" cause its color palette.

    2. Use more letter spacing for menu pages.

    3. Don't use CAPS LOCK when its unnecessary :)

    4. Use some bg for image screenshots

    5. I think its enough for now :)

      Hi @haserk

      Thanks for the feedback. Could you please elaborate more on your points?

      1. I think I chose this mainly based on my own liking of the colors. Could you recommend a more appealing color palette?
      2. Sure, I definitely will look into this one. I feel like the letter spacings are too small
      3. Why do you think I should avoid using caps
      4. Excellent one here. I had this in mind, but wasn't sure which tool is more suitable to create them. Do you have any tools you've used before to add background to images?

      Again, thanks for the feedback @haserk, these points are so powerful.
      Would very much appreciate it if you could elaborate on point 1 and 3

      Thanks for the feedback @TonikeKH. Will definitely make good use of Knowledgehunt, I feel like my website is lacking when it comes to good copy.
