I recently launched the landingpage of my new startup idea at http://www.kilaluu.com. What do you think about the idea? Is it good or what could be better? Is there a need for a dedicated side project marketplace? Do you understand what Kilaluu will be?
Thank you very much for all inputs!
KR, Fabian
Either way, this is a classic chicken or the egg problem. Your website will only be useable for developers if their target market is browsing the site. It will only be useable for target markets if projects they are interested in are populated on the site.
The problem is target markets are extremely broad among startups. Some are enterprise, some are consumer, etc. I think you should focus on one use-case (so it is clear who should list their project as well as who should look for projects) and then expand from there.
I like the idea of focusing on one use-case, one niche.
Thx for your help :-)
However, I'd say the landing page is a bit light on details (you want a short page to simply capture emails, but you also want to communicate value). Also, the background color scheme is a bit garish and distracting IMO. Finally, as 6thSigma mentioned, "marketplace" does denote buying and selling. I guess other terms you could use would be forum, board, community, etc.
If you are not aware of it, you could look to the /r/SideProject/ subreddit for ideas/inspiration.
