First attempt at content marketing
I added a blog post to my website explaining why and how to use my product SquarSwap. I'm hoping to share this and expand the blog with more posts in the future to generate long term traffic to my website.

Well done first blog post can be the hardest :)
I would recommend changing the landing page, my eyes get dragged everywhere.
A great template I like to follow is https://sumit.versoly.com/
Some quick questions if you're not too busy.
Building the landing page was tough for me because I don't have good design skills. I've spent my career working on the backend.
I built the blog myself, I have a framework for creating the blog html, so I can basically just type text with some markup and all the 'fancy' bolding/highlighting/etc.. is performed automatically. So getting future content on the site is easy after it is created.
I did not look at website builders. A significant portion of the effort for this project was on the backend (capturing data, running regressions in python, cleaning time series data from the db) and all computations are setup to be on-demand so that they are all as fresh as possible when the user logs in. For these computation reasons I though it would be easiest to setup a landing page myself -- I didn't want to figure out how to integrate my backend and other pages with a FE site builder, but maybe its something I should look into.
but you can use even free templates for the landing page, now it looks unfinished
I agree with a lot of the comments. Great product, but the design could use a bit of work.
Being a person that's lived with backend for most of my life. https://refactoringui.com/ is a great resource to start out from.
Same, I spent most of my time building internal tools that didn't need a great UI/UX :)
The blog is missing a few things like categories, tags, authors and the only CTA is at the bottom which is a sign up form with no copy above talking above value they will get.
You can easily integrate iframes into most website builders.
First impressions are important, I would work a little on your landing page.
