After one month of my MVP launch and collecting feedback, I decided to shutdown the app completely and make a slight pivot.
Here's the new landing page https://crondev.io
Would love to hear your feedback!
Looks ok, but I am missing a link to the Docs. This is a technical product, people want to know how it works before purchasing it (e.g. personally I would want to know how whether it has a failed request policy that I can set).
I will work on adding a mini documentation for now. I'm still tweaking major features.
Thanks for the feedback!
Apart from the points mentioned by others., I would like to add that the scroll happening on clicking of pricing is very abrupt. It can be made into a smooth scroll.
Also when do you plan to launch this ?
That jump scares me too. I'll work on that.
Thanks for you input Anurag, it means a lot!
The yellow background color of over the fold area is not very pleasant for reading anything from.
Nothing happens if I click the main CTA button ("schedule for free"). The button caption also sounds like engineering talk. I'm an engineer and even for me it sounds very unsexy.
The "What can I schedule with CronDev?" section has black buttons which are actually not buttons. A general rule of thumb is that if something isn't a clickable button, it shouldn't look like one.
In your actual app, I would consider also showing "x minutes ago" or something similar near the "success [date]" field, because as it is now, it's prone to confusion with time zones. I often reside in a different time zone from my servers, it would be difficult from this UI to know when exactly did this thing run last.
Overall, I think this is a pretty good UI. If you want to elevate it into a new level, you should consider more screenshots of your app and possibly adding more colorful, high quality icons (both to the website and the app).
Hey Jouni,
Thanks for taking the time to checkout my LP
I probably should have made it clear that I haven't launched yet; I'm running a couple of test to make sure it's good to go.
Also I plan to add some progress bar or something like what you've suggest to show how many triggers you have left.
Do you mean the main yellow background where the hero section is located is difficult to read?
You're right about the icons, I don't like them myself. I'll work on that.
Thanks Again
I mean a massive yellow background area can be unpleasant for the eyes. Depending on screen settings etc. Not sure whether it's worth the risks.
I've toned down the yellow a bit.
My aim is to make it stand out, but I hadn't considered the effects on different screens.
Quick feedback:
Overall, I think the design and the layout are clean. It's simple but effective.
"CronDev saves you time and hassle by automating your cron job scheduling and management." -> "Automating and manage" sounds like saas buzzword without much meaning. Maybe you can be more specific about how your app really shines here, in the first section.
I don't know if you plan to add extra pages detailing the three options given in the "What can I schedule with Crondev" section, but it has the looks of a button and does nothing.
"Yes, you can "easily spin up a linux server to do this"
But can you easily do these?"
-> It sounds like you're already mad at your users for questioning your product utility. Might want to tone down here. eg: "Here's the extra perks we deliver compared to a regular crontab on a linux server".
Several typing mistakes in the following section. eg: "when shiP happens".
Not really linked to the LP in itself, but it seems like the max pricing option cap the number of jobs triggered/mo quite low (depending on who your actual target is). It might sound big, but it means less than 10 a day, which is not a huge amount.
Again, not link to the other piece of feedback, but might be worth taking into account
Cheers,
Thanks for the incredible feedback. I can't really argue with points you've made.
No problem dude
