Landing page feedback

https://mailchi.mp/670accd2badc/wkhkdlypza

Could you hop over to https://mailchi.mp/670accd2badc/wkhkdlypza and let me know what you think about this landing page?

Is the message clear? Does it speak to you?
Do you know what the podcast is about?
Which information are you missing?
How could I improve the copy?

I am also still searching for a better name. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

    Hey @michaela, I think the message is crystal clear, simple design and yes it does speak to me. Here are some questions, comments, and suggestions:

    • Typo in what works?: But what does to take to make maintainable.... the "to" should be "it"
    • as @noahwbragg suggested, I would also recommend adding company logos
    • A small audio clip explaining the podcast or something about why you are starting this would be a great addition. As it is a podcast, people might want to listen to some audio rather than only read text :)
    • How can people that want to be interviewed signup or contact you?
    • I think the name is already apt....but if you still want some more suggestions...how about Journey of software, or, Inside Out Tech Radio, or, Software through creator's lens
    • I think it will make people more likely to subscribe if they know about the first podcast, such as date, who will be interviewed, what company, and brief topic. Basically, help to create a sense of urgency.

      Thank you so much. So many great suggestions. I'll work on each of them.
      The idea with the audio is a real must do!

      I also love your suggestions for the name.

      What do you think about Software Engineering Un(b)locked? That's the tagline of my blog as well.

        I like software engineering unlocked, catchy, and a much better name than the current one....

        a few more along the same lines... software engineering decoded or software engineering demystified or software engineering decrypted or software engineering unraveled

    The message is pretty clear, but try changing the color themes it really hurts my eyes!

      Thanks for the feedback. I'll work on it.

    I think it is pretty good. Simple design. Pretty easy to follow the hierarchy. I definitely understand what the podcast is about.

    The logos of the companies that you will be talking to may pop out more so than the text and look better. I could see people skipping that part when it is just text.

    I'm not a designer but I'm not sure how well those two different blues go with each other.

      Thanks! Yeah, logos... I am always afraid of copyright issues. Do you think I can use the logos just right from the Internet?

        Thats a good question! I'm not sure if that is legal or not. I doubt they would be upset if you used them but maybe it would be good to look more into that.

      Yes, it’s pretty simple to get started. It’s also very restrictive in the end, but I prefer to test and start this way. Super lean!
