That's what I thought! But then I asked bloggers in a few forums and almost everyone disliked any "-or Die" ending. They found it too aggressive.
Post or Pay turned out to be the most popular name. That said, that they like a name doesn't mean that it would be the most effective one, especially when it comes to catching their attention.
And now I'm wondering: True that nobody likes paying. But when paying is part of the value you offer (they pay if they fail, and that's the point of using the product), do you think it's still ineffective to have it in the name?
Interesting! I think or Die is a bit extreme but it also draws attention.
Post or Pay has that wonderful alliteration P-P. Maybe theres a third option & words that come to mind: 'Wager', 'Stake', 'Lose' but these probably don't fit your 'Or' format well. I feel like Im not helping so I'll stop. Maybe 'Publish or Pay'?
You're helping!
I've asked in various forums and it seems like most bloggers do like a lot the P-P alliteration of Post or Pay. I will go on with this name for now, I hope to have a bit of press attention by the time New Year resolutions hit :) (which is often the best time of the year for products like this).
Thanks for the input!
Thanks, Marcel.
It is not a buddy system because you don't have to check on others and the other person is dedicated (and paid) to check on you, so he/she won't flake even if you do. Anyway, I'll keep in mind that this was not clear within the first 5 seconds, that's important. Do you have any recommendation on how would you change it so that it's more clear?
I take note of your feedback on the visual aspect. It's true that many other products use the same illustration style, but I'm aiming to play it safe in this aspect - for now :)
And lastly, a virtual co-working space is a diferent concept but it does have some things that I could learn about. I have some plans to expand on the services offered with CheckWise in the future. I'll probably discuss them here in WIP.
Cheers!
Thanks Cody! Very helpful advice, much appreciated.
I had thought in the past about showing examples of how we'd communicate with the users, but it slipped out of my mind while designing this landing page. Thanks for reminding me of that, it makes a lot of sense to add it.
Nice to receive landing page feedback from the guy of Landingfolio!
Here's my view on your points:
1- Noted.
2- True, navigation to the right is better.
3- Thanks! I've been thinking for hours about it, glad you liked it.
4- I get the bold and bigger part, but black? I chose the color since it matches the images (same as the people's clothes and in contrast with blue). Maybe if it was black and when hovering over it then it turns orange? Or did you mean the text in black while preserving the orange button?
5- Good one, I'd probably go for "Stick to the plan" or your "Keep me in check".
6- Noted!
7- Noted, I'll try to make it more interesting.
8- N o t e d , it needs to b r e a t h
9- Yep, true. Gray is boring.
10- Thanks for the FAQ examples!
11- I also like that, something like "Be the first one to try it" sounds more appealing.
Thanks a bunch, you made my day.
Hey Cody, I've applied some of your tips here: checkwise.io/home-2
I've just submitted it to be roasted here in WIP. Thanks again for the advice!
Thanks Cody! Very useful answer. But, how would you "pick a heading font that closely aligns with your brand"? How have you approached this step in the past?
ps "everything is a remix" is probably my favorite sentence ever
You might use the exact same font as your logo. Or, if your app is targeting casual users, then maybe choose rounded fonts. For trying to convey a sense of professionalism, then choose fonts that are more square. Does that help?

Ah yes that makes sense. Good luck with it Aleix :)
