New Landing Page – Updated Design

Hey fellow Indie Hackers!

I recently shipped a new design for the landing page of Creativerly. I have built it using carrd.co by @ajlkn. It is so fun and easy to use, that you literally can set up your website in minutes. The Illustrations I have used are from icons8. With a free license you can use them in your projects for free as long you give credit. But there are also extended licenses which you can buy.

For those of you that do not know

Creativerly is a weekly newsletter about tools & resources, which boost your creativity and productivity. Combined with useful insights, articles, and learnings from the fields of design and tech, this newsletter was built for the creative community.

So what is new in this update?

The first Landing Page I have designed for Creativerly was very minimalistic and straight-forward. But for now I wanted to play around with a different layout, new typography, some illustrations, but also I wanted to work on the copywriting, since I think this is a very important part if I want to catch potential subscribers of my weekly newsletter.

The only thing I am not happy about is the way I have displayed the archive. It is just a long list. Maybe some carrd wizards know a work-around how it would look nicer. I would like to create a dropdown menu structured with months, so can expand a month and then see all the newsletters I have sent out in that month. Not sure if this is possible in carrd or only with code, but I will definitely look into this.

Curious what you think about the Landing Page. 😊

Just let me know!

    Nice Philipp!

    Good work with this one :=)

    I agree with previous comment. A bit more white space would be nice.

    Hey there - I love @ajlkn work always neat. For Creativerly new landing page, I would suggest reading this https://www.julian.com/guide/growth/landing-pages and from my side, I would say:

    • You should make it less wordy or separate the hero/header content aprt from the rest of the text,
    • The buttons have the same importance - you should make the Sign up call to action more prominent,
    • Instead of the archive button, it would be nice to have a list of categories or top digests/content examples .

      That is some great advice and feedback, thank you! :)

      I will consider that and give my landing page some more touches.
