UPDATE:
Thank you so very much for the advice @dmontooth, @misterhtmlcss, @Vokail & @milozo.
I have updated my site and hopefully the following missing elements are now in place:
Things that I did not do:
I think that this is a good idea but I couldn't find a good place to jam it in.
This is also a very good idea, but for the time being I don't have the time to do it.
This is also probably a good idea but I can't actually wrap my head around how to do it.
Thank you again for all your help, invaluable stuff really. I am so much more proud of the site now!
Well done!
A few things to think about.
Remove the "Home" page header. If this is your landing page, that is confusing. I thought that was the product name at first glance, then realized it is the default WP page header.
Give me a headline to create some interest. Why should I continue reading? What is the benefit to me? I'm not the intended audience but you should have something that relays the core benefit, e.g. "Simple engineering design in Sheets", "Kick ass engineering design in Sheets" - whatever your brand tone would be.
You have no call to action. How do you want people to try this out?
How much is it? What's the pricing scheme? One time payment or subscription?
Why did you build this? Use that to create a story about why somebody else NEEDS this.
You need some visual hierarchy to highlight the benefits. For example, you mention error handling in a handful of places. I would highlight that, since errors in engineering design are a big deal.
It seems the solution you are providing is allowing engineering professionals to effectively use Sheets for engineering design, something they have been struggling with since Sheets is not meant for this. If that is an accurate summary, write from that perspective.
Thanks for the feedback! Seem to be getting a pretty clear signal on what I am missing. I will try to get it updated this weekend.
I second everything @dmontooth says, plus I'd make the site a static website. Using WordPress introduces a great deal of complexity in this use case.
Static
WP
I agree with you for the most part, and I would add that it would be easier to keep under version control. I also wouldn't have to learn too much, as I have a basic understanding of HTML, CSS and JS. But: I think that this is a priority pretty far down on the list at this point. WP allows me to not have to think about the site too much, and that is why I am currently using it.
Sounds well reasoned to me.
Welcome! Well, in not particualr order and all IMHO:
Thank you for the welcome, this is great feedback! Most of these things I agree with. Can you give a specific reason that you don't like the font though? I'm not a designer I am just using a Wordpress template that I thought looked good to me.
sure, it's small for me and if you keep close attion to "engineering", distance between letters is too small.
My 2 cents : just copy from medium, indiehacker, someone else, on this and use a little bigger font
Thanks again
Looks and feels engineerish, in a good and a bad way.
Haha, thanks! Could you elaborate? I will be the first to admit that with me as the founder product and marketing design sense is going to be one of the biggest hurdles for the company.
It works, it gets the job done, but doesn't make sense unless you know its underlying mechanisms.
