Haha thanks for the feedback. I definitely am hearing some echos. I was inspired by apples keynote grid design but then realized maybe for a landing page it’s a bit too chaotic? And your eyes don’t have a linear place to start and have to do some extra work. Definitely thinking ways to mitigate this.
- vidarh 5y agoThere are a few different issues. I think part of the problem is that it looks a bit busy but ok when the window is narrow. But at full width on my screen I get 5 columns, and nothing to signify what is important. You'd improve it massively by just setting a max width so it's never more than maybe two columns, maybe three at a stretch. But secondly I think it's a "brand" issue even with two or three columns. You're selling a minimalist app, but the homepage one of the most cluttered I've seen (at my window width, anyway). To give you an idea of how busy it feels, take a look at this page [1] (yes, I'm exaggerating for effect). I get that you want to showcase everything, but I think you need to really consider that the people to whom the simplicity appeals are not likely to respond to a cluttered homepage.

- randomor 5y agoThanks for the suggestions! Appreciate these honest feedback. May I ask what's your window width? Are you using the full width on an external display?
- vidarh 5y ago1920 pixels on a 27" external monitor. And yes, usually full width. I did test your site with narrower windows and it becomes a lot easier to read then, hence why I think a quick and dirty first step you could make it just reducing the maximum number of columns.
