Ask HN: Feedback on landing page v2?

5 pointsiamjonlee15 comments

Thanks to HN, I got lots of advice in creating a better landing page the last time which resulted in a full redesign. V2 is out.

Same as last time, looking for feedback. Any and all suggestions even criticism welcome.

The 1px gray border around the phone on the landing page blends right into the blue stripe, and the top metal bezel blends right into the white, making the whole design feel very flat. It would look better if you in some way added a bit of separation between phone and background.

Thanks! I'll make a note of this and see what I can do. Maybe I'll add a slight background glow behind the phone or something.

I'm sorry for the duplicate submission if anyone sees it. I figured that this post would be well on his way to oblivion (was ranked beyond the top 200 posts on HN) so I made a similar submission to this one but now it's back towards the top again. Either way, thank you HN!

"Join or create customized events..." could be aligned with the text above. Not sure I like the indentation between the title and paragraph - the difference in font weight ought to be enough, maybe?

Aside fron that, great overall design!

I'll definitely take a look at the indentation. Anyone else feel the same way? I'll be running a lot of A/B tests to figure out what exactly works out as this is my first real landing page. Thanks for the feedback!

Text aligning for content on blue stripe could be left, I think.

And I'd placed those bullets representing slides below/above content. It takes time to find it.

BTW, app seems pretty beautiful.

Text aligning on blue stripe is left for me on my firefox, chrome and IE. Could you specify which content and browser where it's not left? Much appreciated!

Spot on on the bullets, will look into making that more user friendly.

Thanks! I'm no designer, so I had to put a lot of hardwork in to make up for it. It's great to know someone admires it!

Not much of a criticism, but I love the design. It's pretty generic, but it feels like a generic app site done absolutely right.

Thank you! I'm glad you think it's good. It's not criticism, but definitely helpful. I'd take compliments any day ;). It's my first time learning design since 11 weeks ago so didn't think it would turn out as well as it did.

the only thing that matters with a landing page is how well it converts. You can tweak a design all day long, but are you actually tracking whether people are submitting their email more with this design compared to your last iteration? If it's lower conversion than your last one, it's technically a worse design even if it looks better

It fails miserably on mobile (Android here) Layout is confusing, text is hard to read and the image seems to jump around.

Doesn't fail miserably on my Android phone. The colored background strip is a bit too short to contain everything, but that's the only problem.

Just had a look on my laptop - it's a very nice landing page :o

Thank you for taking extra time to check it out on your laptop! I apologize for the slight problems you had on Android so far. Since this app is bootstrapped by my cofounder and I, we don't have enough resources out of working on the app to create a completely mobile-friendly site yet. I know it's no excuse, but we're working on it! Thank you for letting us know though- we plan on buying an android sometime in the future to test with.

Video is missing in Step 4. Looks good in latest Firefox and IE9.

Good luck!
