What do you think of my landing page?

I just deployed the pre-launch landing page for Devolio.
I am trying to build a creative community for developers that integrates well with other platforms like Github and allows users to customize and design their identity on the platform.

The project is a work in progress and the landing page is to generate early emails leads. What do you think?
Thanks a bunch!

    Here comes the rapid fire feedback!

    • Like others said the whitespace is just off in mostly the header and footer
    • Your main CTA blends in with the screenshots. Make this stand out 10x more. Increase the email input size too
    • I kind of get what Devolio is from just the top and the screenshot but that copy is waaay too long for thing I read. Trim this down and use the content elsewhere. You should be able to explain your business in less than 3 sentences anyway.
    • Remove "Early Preview" or any indication of this. Make it seem like it's on the cusp of getting released or don't mention this at all
    • Images below the main one provide zero value. I would opt for screenshots or maybe highlight the integrations with logos for GitLab and Matomo?
    • Contact us built into the footer seems a bit weird to me. I would make it part of the actual landing page. Also "or if you noticed anything we should know" get rid of that.

    Hope this helps! I like what you have going for a community for developers like myself 🤓

      Thank you so much for all the advice.

      • I will fix the whitespace you're right.
      • Do you have any tips on how I could make the button stand out?
      • Yeah I will trim the first paragraph down.
      • Yeah I agree with you and will remove the Early Preview
      • I will work on making some mockups instead of the illustrations
      • What do you mean by making the footer part of the landing page?

      This means so much! Thank you :)

        Something like this maybe:

        devolio

        I was more thinking more the contact form to be another section of the main page and not in the footer.

        Welcome 👍 Glad to help

    Looks good to me, but I’m not a designer. I thought the message was clear and I understand what you’re doing. The idea of customizing your profile definitely sounds cool. Not sure why the button on the right says “discuss” instead of sign up.

    Also it looks like you have a bug with the link back to your home page when clicking the logo. Chrome gives me the unsafe warning. Probably just missing an “https” in the ref.

      Oh thank you so much! Yeah I didn't know about that bug and will fix it right now. The link says discuss instead of sign up because the product isn't finished yet so you can't signup yet. Instead I setup the discuss page because I think it would be nice to interact with the people who have subscribed.

    I like the top part before the fold, although my immediate impression was that there's a bit too much whitespace in the lower sections. The contact form at the bottom also seems to have a bit of a CSS issue.

    Do you see this as being something similar to dev.to?

    1. 1

      Thanks for your feedback @ZachT. Yeah I will fix up the css. What do you mean by the fold?

      About your last question, I am a user of dev.to and don't think it's similar. I find that dev.to is too much bloggers cross posting and not really about interaction between users.
      Devolio will be about discussion and relationships between developers, not really like dev.to

      1. 1

        By "above the fold" I mean the part of the page visible without any scrolling... kind of an obscure term, sorry!

        I'm also on dev.to and I enjoy it in small doses, but the sheer volume of cross posting and "9 cool projects to learn React" type posts does become repetitive quite quickly.

        1. 1

          Yeah I totally agree. It's all just kind of clickbait and not personal at all I find. That's why I am building something different

    Honestly I feel there's too much white-space. I think some of the blocks could do with a slight off white kind of background. Also the symmetrical balance seems a bit out.
