Roast My Landing Page

Hey IH!

Hope you all are doing well. We just put up the landing page for Confetti last week. We're still working on our v1 at the moment, but we thought it was a good time to put ourselves out there.

Since it's our first landing page, we would appreciate a good, clean, salt-of-the-earth roast. A few questions that come to mind:

  • How is the look and feel?
  • Is it clear what we're doing?
  • Is there anything we can do to improve our messaging/copy?

Really appreciate the help!

P.S.
If you're intrigued by what we're building, we also included a newsletter sign-up so you can stay up-to-date for when we launch.

    The blurry background flashes while loading. It's distracting. It also has a weird scroll effect. Why don't you have a simpler background?

    Copy is super clear.

    "question bank" I'd say resource or directory or something else

      Thanks for the feedback @kaioelfke. I appreciate your input.

    Great work so far!

    The value proposition is clear. It could be shorter, e.g. "Learn the skills to find your dream job in AI".

    The blurry background is weird.

    For the cards: I would prefer more of a story telling me how it works. E.g. "1. Learn with our database", "2. Test your knowledge", "3. Ace your interview."

    How is the look and feel?

    • It looks childish & playful. For this product & target audience, you need to establish authority and intellect.
    • Gigantic logo. Reduce it by 70%. Then put that thing in the navbar so your value proposition front & center
    • Blurry background (mentioned by others) - Plain white would be cleaner.
    • Navigation - "Home" and "Blog" should be bolder and capitalized equally (Title Case or UPPERCASE)
    • Email input looks like a button. Make the placeholder text look like placeholder text. E.g. change it to "your@email.ai" and make it a significantly lighter color

    Is it clear what we're doing?

    • Yes, but be clear faster. Use active voice. e.g. "Learn the skills to launch your career in artificial intelligence"

    Is there anything we can do to improve our messaging/copy?

    • Change the CTA to something less ambiguous. E.g. "Join the Waiting List" is specific & has a sense of urgency.
    • Give the project authenticity by explaining your personal background in the industry

    -How is the look and feel? I personally think the blurred background is a bit misleading. In some apps the blurred background indicates that the page hasn't finished loading. The background of your cards conflict with the images in the cards (two shades of yellow). Maybe make them with a white background and add a drop shadow? The logo is a bit hard to read. It doesn't look like its optimized for mobile - this is going to be important.
    -Is it clear what we're doing? My understanding is that you will be building something like Kaggle? An online community for people interested in developing their AI skills?
    -Is there anything we can do to improve our messaging/copy? The slogan is good - I think i understand what you are trying to achieve. Only comment would be for your second card indicate that you will build systems on the confetti platform.

    Hope this helps - all the best!

    Hey, I'm a Junior Web Dev. So here are some points related more on the design stuff:

    • Stay consistent on your color: you are using green on your nav bar, indigo for your user input, and black for the rest of the body (including social media) - 3 colors, just for the text.
    • Same thing for the bg colors: yellow/sand for your cards, white for the navbar, and white for the bg of the user input.
    • Your landing page has overflow on the y-axis. You don't have too many contents, try to put everything on the screen size.
    • Is the navbar really useful? You should probably make the background transparent or use another color (yellow/sand color maybe?)

    For the content, yeah it's pretty clear! You are giving educational advice about IA
