paid a 1000$ for this design - roast our landing page

[theriz]

hey folks

so my team and i are working on a self-serve product for development teams at startups.

we had an older one that our in house designer worked on but since it was too enterprise-y we decided to switch things up a little bit, hence we hired a freelancer to work on this(not entirely sure if it was a good idea)

this is the new landing page - https://www.facets.cloud/facets-for-startups , please roast it and let me know what you guys think!

p.s. how much do y'all think this is worth?

@theriz Design is good. content needs mor help

 

[john76]

@theriz Not enough info, looks good though. Not sure if I personally would pay $1000 for it, but if it converts!

@theriz Looks pretty good IMO
* Headline font is a little too bold
* Yellow looks kinda ugly for the CTA
* No social proof
* Copy is pretty technical

@peacefulocean

Copy is pretty technical

Might have something to do with this line from the OP: "so my team and i are working on a self-serve product for development teams at startups."

 

[peacefulocean]

@violetstarlight As long as they understand it. I definitely don't

 

[todosan]

@peacefulocean I agree with these as well

 

[theriz]

@peacefulocean thanks for the pointers, maybe we do have to make the copy a tad less technical

@theriz Scrolling is so jittery. Try to go with more smooth scrolling. Animations are so fast.

Overall design doesn't look techy at all in my opinion. I prefer more modern style and colors for tech related sites.

Consistency is important for both a website and all across web. It helps when tech related websites have similar designs so I can understand what they are related.

@cv5 You’re probably on low power mode?

The design fundamentals here are okay but it does feel a bit ‘hit or miss’ in certain areas.

For example, the footer area with the clouds is very ‘complete’, but I don’t see that return consistently in other places.

There’s more, but that’s the general feeling. It isn’t complete yet.

By the way, you asking us this question makes me wonder if you have a subconsious feeling that this isn’t right. What do you think?

 

[todosan]

@jaxxon Where would you recommend I do to get better with web design?

 

[jaxxon]

@todosan Depends… Do you want to learn it yourself? Or hire someone to help you?

 

[todosan]

@jaxxon Learn it myself

 

[jaxxon]

@todosan I’m actually writing an article about it at the moment… design must-haves and UX fundamentals for SaaS founders.

If you can wait a few days, I can send you a first version to read

 

[todosan]

@jaxxon Would love this, would very much appreciate this

 

[jaxxon]

@todosan I’ll get back to you!

 

[heatherdawn]

@jaxxon do you mind sending it over to me as well ? would love to read it

 

[jaxxon]

@heatherdawn Ofcourse!
