Please Provide Feedback on my Landing Page

Hey csthompson,

I made a Loom video with a few major design changes.
(If you do not like my design changes, feel free to reject it 😅)

https://www.loom.com/share/eccb55aaf8bf486aadb7b8a170a7d221

My design changes:-

1. Reduced header size and logo
2. Removed powered by git

My feedback:-

1. My first impression I am confused I know you are dealing with static sites but I have no idea what is the use case for your service.

2. You placed powered by git which may be confusing for a lot of people maybe if your audience knows git not a problem. (This is the reason I removed git in my loom video)

3. Feel like it is a great idea. If I understood your service correctly static site powered by markdown files right? (Correct me if I am wrong)

In the future, if you need any feedback for your landing page
use this thread (I've also pinned this post on my profile)

I think I understand the rough idea - I know that Git can be complicated for non-technical people. I see some value in creating a higher-level abstraction that usually exists in CMS, but not for static websites.

What I find a bit difficult to understand is what is the use-case exactly? I don't want anybody else to be able to change my website... I guess you mean a website in a bigger organization, where non-technical people want to propose changes or edit directly? Maybe you can put some example use-cases to make this more clear.

I would also remove the Powered by Git line... I think the only people that will understand it are people that already know Git and this doesn't seem to be your audience. Maybe something like this will be better: "The power of CMS for static sites".

What I see on the screenshot is essentially a Git branch graph. I understand it because I know Git, the question is if this is the right abstraction level for people that don't know it. I think it will be really cool, if you can also do some kind of live-demo, where I could click around to get a better feeling about your product.

And some cosmetic issues:

• The navigation bar is way too big. When I scroll down it covers something like a quarter of my screen! I like the big logo in the beginning, but you should definitely make it smaller, when the user starts scrolling down.
• There is no explanation for the screenshot. Maybe add something there to clarify.
• There is so much fine print below the subscription form, that it actually makes me suspicious. I think you should just put one sentence that you will notify people about new products and services and that's it.
• Why do you need my name for this? I would just ask for e-mail, because you are creating additional friction in the subscription process. And I don't think the names provide you any value.

I hope this helps!

I would change the hero text. "Collaborate. Share. Grow together" could be used to describe any social media network, photo sharing app, or groupware product.

The overall concept is clear, but I still have three questions about the product after reading the landing page:

A) does it work for ANY content on a static site, or just the comments section?
B) does the contributor need to know the underlying tech used to build the static site? If not, how does one raise a PR to change a typo smack in the middle of a core content page?
C) does the contributor need to have a GitHub/gitlab account? Where is the contributor's git branch stored till the time it is merged?

Hey @csthompson, I think I can do more than just provide feedback. Are you open to me doing a redesign for the landing page of PopQuote? Send me an email with details if you're interested :)
