Gave the landing page a touch of elegance and professionalism. Think it looks quite good now. No real progress on the actual product itself this week apart from a few styling things.
Let me know what ya think!

Looks quite nice. We ourselves use Trello and are pretty satisfied with it.
Why should I choose Simple Board over Trello? What killer features do you offer that others are missing? I could imagine that many people have this question in mind when visiting your landing page so I would probably improve on your UVP here.
Best wishes
I'm planning on building a productivity tool that combines the best bits of all the bigger brands and packaging it into an affordable solution. Fully customisable with an addictive UI look, feel and interactivity. 🎉 I appreciate some people are stuck with what they know in current providers, Simple Board is going to provide a fresh, modern, addictive approach into the market which will sky rocket productivity in individual projects and team projects.
Less clutter. More focus. Especially on the kanban board page. This will be completely focused in on your project and tasks only. Think of a clean modern writing app these days with hardly any GUI. It lets you focus on writing. Now apply the same sort of style and feature to a kanban board. Very nice to look at, awesome, addictive functionality within the board which motivates you to get your project tasks or tickets done so you can interact with the board.
Intuitive task list view which will let you efficiently and effectively see your workload in a slick, productive list - Again, gives you that ability to really focus in on what's going on.
There will be some project specific settings in terms of if it's a personal or team project which will be highly beneficial.
I know trello has customisations in there as well but Simple Board will provide this in a configuration / settings page which you control completely from here, again, separating this cluttering functionality from the actual board itself, allowing you to really focus in.
A lot more I could say at this stage and a lot more that will most likely be added as I develop.
Just an idea: what if you test with some sticky badge or some small notification which appears with a question: "How it's different from Trello and other similar planning tools?" And then simply a link with explanation which you provided there? I would propose to AB test it in case major part of your visitors (potential customers) will have the same question...
Brilliant idea. Simply, present a popup with the answer in a nice way. I like that idea. Means I'm immediately eliminating that question
... simple! 👍
I recommend adding real copy into the hero image, so I can see it actually being used. Will feel more real.
So a short video demonstration maybe instead of the Image I have there? :-) Thanks for your input!!
I think @joelaguero means actual copy instead of "this is a ticket header" - this was my suggestion also. No video, just a real example of your product
Ah yes Ofcourse I understand 😁🎉 will get this changed tomorrow. Awesome thank you so much for your input and feedback!!!
The sign up buttons are disabled. Isn't that one of the most important conversions for you to make?
Yes but i'm in development. This is a pre-release landing page, below the signups is "Coming soon, Join the pre release list" which will direct you back to the top where you can enter your email for free, early access
Or activate the buttons and if they click on them show a modal with the sign-up form.
Perhaps you could add a scroll-to action if they click on the sign up button :)
I've implemented that in now!
Yeah i like this idea. Nice one. It'll basically be the same as the below "Join" link. Thanks for that 🎉 I don't know why i never thought of this? haha! What do you think overall?
You're welcome! I think the landing page overall does its job. Perhaps the logo in the navbar is a bit too large and pushes the more important content a bit further below the fold. I would make it about 50% smaller.
You could also add a further 1-2 px distance between the email sign-up input and the explanatory text and make the explanatory text a bit lighter gray so the color focus is on the input and the button.
Anyways, good luck with the kanban board. I think trello does something similar, but you probably know about them.
Cheers!
It's feedback like this that really inspires me dude. Thank you very much!
Crispy 👍
Appreciate the kind words!
