> The first step to launching a product is setting up a good landing page

Hmm

Hmm, indeed. This is the only blog post on the site and the landing page looks like a placeholder for the time being.

Maybe this is his way of getting free feedback? Hmm!

First of many. That placeholder look is thanks to my acute lack of graphic design skills. Getting better one day at a time...

Close. It's really content marketing for getting signups for LoudList. The world gets a list of resources I genuinely found useful, and not so easy to locate, and I (hopefully) get a mailing list.

I've gotten feedback on the landing page at https://loudlist.io (rough draft though it may be) already from the resources on this list. That's where I got the idea for the blog post.

Great, there's a real person behind this! Didn't mean any harm with my comment.

It's a nice resource with sites I didn't know about, so I'm keeping them in mind for any future references.

For me personally, the signup form doesn't feel aesthetically pleasant on a desktop screen; I think having both div's centerfold is the mustard here. On mobile, it's fine.

Thanks for calling me out on that. I've got several assumptions packed in there about what the user is trying to do (validating the market, smoke testing, etc).

I'm going to go back and rewrite that opening. It should at least be something like "first step on the long march to product launch." And that is assuming that you are going the Lean Startup, 30x500 et. al. way.
