1. Your homepage should give me a better sales pitch about what I can do with your product and why I need it, not just how I do it. Explain your value.

2. All content is focused at English audience except the pricing details. Use a dot decimal sign $12.34 not $12,34

3. I would make the connection to your open source project explicit. It’s an asset. Sentry.io does this well

Congrats on shipping!

Great feedback. I was just about to write a comment regarding 1. above - it feels like you might have brought a bit too much of your open source roots into the presentation and too little of your business oriented foundation.

Of course this depends also on who you want to target as potential customers - who do you want to target?

My main target, at the moment, should be "small businesses", so from freelancers to startups. Not sure if I'm doing that right, but I'm willing to learn

What value could they create from using your setup?

Just to point few of them: 1. Quick deploy of the site (I mean you don't need to deal with servers, installations, and stuff) 2. They can start collecting leads easily

What separates you from Squarespace or Wix? Answer that question and make the answer prominent on your page.

I was just about to ask this. “Why does the world need another web site publisher” is a general version of that question. I think you should answer both.

FYI build some alternate landing pages that are SEO’ed for “square space alternative”, etc.

Thanks for such a good feedback. Honestly, I'm a still bit confused how exactly to proceed with the point 1 but I'll try to figure that out. Thanks

If you want I can forward you the contact of a person that does exactly what you need. Just throw me an email and I'll set you up.

Looking in you niche, carrd And instapage do this pretty well.
