Plummail(dot)co - landing page feedback *pleeeeease* :-)

Hey Guys,

Peter and I have invested a good fortnight into our new messaging for Plum Mail and have stuck up a landing page (albeit v1).

Would really love to get a dash of feedback if you have 30 seconds to grab a look?

https://plummail.co/

Thank you so much!

(Don't hold back like your middle name is 'Brutal Feedback' although glowing compliments also warmly welcomed!)

    The mobile version needs some love, bit broken

    1. 1

      I did some work on the mobile version of the site. For interest, had to upgrade to the latest version of tailwind to fix the viewport issue.

      It does rather! hmm. What do you think of the words?

        Hey @richardesigns

        Have checked it on desktop now.

        I feel like your design is in the right direction but there a lot of small minor UI things holding it back from being professional

        • The logo text is just a default sans-serif font which weakens the brand
        • Your main CTA is to join a waitlist but then you have a big sign in button in the top right. I would deemphasize this - Use a text link or something
        • The top layout I don't love, I would look at implementing a 2 column layout similar to the ones here: https://tailwindui.com/components/marketing/sections/heroes
        • I'm not really sure what I'm looking at with your CTA image, I would definitely use a product shot here
        • Your existing product shots need to be much bigger, you can't see what's happening at all
        • The Read More needs to have the pointer cursor (so it feels like a link you can click)

        In terms of copy, the structure looks pretty good. Some thoughts:

        • "Focus on the conversations that matter most to you." It's hard to visualize what this looks like. Focusing on conversations that matter most to me, doesn't really mean anything to me. Is there a value proposition you could use that would be clearer
        • I'm not really sure how Plum Email works? Is it a separate email provider like Gmail? Do I get my own harlan@plummail.com? If so I think you should make this clearer
        • I understand why you have broken it down as Action, Structure, and Organise. But these terms don't really mean anything to the average email user (besides maybe organize?). I'm not saying you should throw them out but maybe think about what the average email user is wanting to specifically improve about their current workflow and talk to that
        • Under the "Evolving Email" you're introducing 3 new value propositions that aren't really explained. I would stick to 3 only (you have 6 atm) and really drill into them. If it's built to reduce stress then tell me how it's going to reduce my stress

        Maybe since the value proposition isn't being clearly told, but the pricing seems pretty outrageous when you compare it to the alternatives like SuperHuman and Hey?

        1. 1

          Hey @harlanzw. This is high quality feedback. Thank you.

          To answer your question, Plum Mail is an email client, so you can send and receive email from any address including Gmail once we build the oauth integration for Google.

          We are considering the idea of giving people @plummail.co addresses but haven't had any demand for it. Most just want to use their existing email address.

          I'll drop you an email in PM so you can see some of the context.

          Otherwise, your points make good balanced sense.

          Thanks again,
