I think they are good. The people are usually the problem.
First thing I thought was
"Showcase Everything"
"Youareandcreate" ?
.... vs
Showcase everything you are
and create
(either way / I don't really know what that means)
You mean the header isn’t formatted correctly on your device? Does it look like the attached image?
Saku is about showcasing everything you are and create - whether it’s your work, adventures, or anything else that represents you. Maybe the wording isn’t super clear - appreciate the feedback!
If you're curious about the bigger vision, you can check out the Manifesto at saku.so/manifesto 🚀
I had the same. It reads a bit weirdly right now with the second line being
"You Are and Create"
Better would be,
"Showcase everything you are"
"and Create"
separate lines.
Maybe there's an even better way to do it but right now i was confused as well.
otherwise site looks absolutely beautiful
Thanks for the feedback :)
You mean like this? Or am I missing something? 🚀
yeah for example. though right now first line is a lot longer so a bit unbalanced maybe?
depends also how tied you are to the current H1
maybe the "and Create" part is a bit vague / not really fitting.
I'm saying all of this as a person who just skimmed it without looking deeper into it (like most website visitors would do i think)
I never used any kind of these tools, so the tagline was also a bit confusing for me (i.e. I didn't know what the product was for judging from the tagline alone)
I'll give my humble vote to just "Showcase Everything You Create" – for me is shorter and more clear. The "You are" part reads a bit forced and vague.
The sub-headline could also be shorter, f.ex. "a place where your audience can connect with you through interactive widgets"
Disclaimer: I am not a marketer!
Other than that, the landing page looks good to me! Good luck!
Thanks for your feedback 🙂
What are your thoughts on this version:
Your Personal Page to:
Be Seen. Be Heard.
Be Creative. Be You.
Create a page where your audience can truly connect with your creativity through interactive Widgets.
I'm also no marketer by any means - figuring things out as I go. Really appreciate your input 🚀
I watched it. I thought it was on the right track. But it didn't seem to really have a central theme. More like - just some talking between friends. I can't really remember anything from it. Your guest went to Harvard. Did some stuff. Then learned to code and that was empowering. But I think that with a little organization - maybe some section titles? Maybe some conclusions? Maybe something more visual to see to help picture what's being discussed? The vibe was good though.
I think that you and I would have an interesting chat. I went to art school then found myself doing more music, then ended up learning to code and design - and now I run a small school and an agency among other things. We could do an interview -- but with end product in mind. (if you'd like)
I just use it for posting my "work in progress" - and new features I'm adding to my projects.
I have a laptop and an iPad. I can’t relate to the MacBook being any more work to carry than the iPad. You’ll get so much more done with the laptop… and it all counts! Are you sure?
just follow some design systems
Tell me more. I can't imagine learning how to design web applications just by looking at a UI library. that's like the tiiipppy tip of the iceberg.
Those are pretty funny commercials. I can see how you'd learn a lot about the layout and things via webflow. But in this case, the person is trying to learn how to write the code by hand.
“Commercials”, lol :D
Well, yeah, Webflow’s team is really cooking with the video content.
In your case, I think, Webflow can be a good option too if a person wants to get results like really fast — but, yeah, for those who want to start coding right off the bat it’s necessary, well, to do so.
ChatGPT is great for me - because I have 13 years of experience. But I find that new devs don't know what to ask. If you're using it like an encyclopedia and asking it to tell you about how things work, it can be great - but people also just grab code from it - and will ultimately not really learn what they are doing and why.
Kids don't know anything haha. They memorize how to use the UI of their apps but mostly don't have any conscious connection to how anything works. There's no model. People don't know what they don't know. So - I think that working with an expert guide is pretty smart. I learned all this stuff on my own - with no network or anything and while it worked out... it wasn't smart.
When you're done with the Udemy course, it could be fun to have a chat about it. If you ever want a code review or something - let me know. : )
FIrst thoughts on YAi --- I don't know what it is - and then I dont' want to sign in with google. And I don't love the purple corporate Memphis. "Let's create amazing blog content" let's me know that it's likely AI to create blog posts --- but also... I think that's kinda going to ruin the Internet (But you might prove me wrong!) - just my first impressions.
Hey @sheriffderek, thanks for taking a look and taking time to write a comment - much appreciated! Perhaps I jumped the gun by sharing the link to our product - and not the general website, which explains more about what we do. I would be interested in your thoughts on this too but I know it needs an update so I'd rather share it when it's been updated.
We don't have any other sign in options apart from Google for now (have to be strict with priorities), but we're an approved Google app so I'm not sure it's a big issue for the majority of people.
