This will seem more harsh than intended, but there's no easy way to say
it; I would need to be extremely interested to knowingly give my email
address to a marketing-research email-collection landing page, and if a
supposedly new company was unwilling or unable to create a simple
product announcement web page without using something like unbounce.com,
then I'd consider them incompetent.
Let's pretend I'm a busy consultant (I'm not, but I was in a past life).
Would I trust my time tracking and billing to supposed company building
a web service when they can't even create a simple web page? Or set up
their own webserver? --I'm sure you can see my point.
I'm guessing you've used an unbounced template?
With slightly older browsers, the template is broken.
Firefox 18: http://designtools.org/pix/txio.png http://designtools.org/pix/txio.png
Chrome/Chromium 24: http://designtools.org/pix/txio-chrome.png http://designtools.org/pix/txio-chrome.png
It's even worse in a text-based browser (for impaired vision), since the
curly brackets "{ }" don't do what you want, and seem like an error of
some sort:
http://designtools.org/pix/txio-text.png http://designtools.org/pix/txio-text.png
The text reads pretty good. I'd use "Txio Is Launching Soon!" rather
than using "We" --Other than the URL, I've got no clue who "we" is until
I get to the bottom of the page.
For some unknown reason, the first line seems a little rough, and worse,
I have no idea why it seems a little rough.
"We're working hard on helping busy consultants find more time ..."
Maybe something like:
"We help busy consultants find more time ..."
"We help busy consultants save time ..."
"We enable busy consultants find more time ..."
"We enable busy consultants to save time ..."
The one thing that Patrick (patio11) does remarkably well is he
communicates the benefits of his service without getting bogged down in
the details of the features. But, he also communicates the features in
very simple language. e.g. "You'll save time by ..."
You've done a good job of stating the benefits, but you've left off any
real mention of the "how and why" you're able to provide those benefits.
After reading through it multiple times, the most I can divine is you've
built some kind of time-tracking and invoicing program/service. Why is
your offering better than what I'm currently using? How is your offering
better than what I'm currently using?
Though there are plenty of products/services in the time-tracking and
invoicing market, it's huge market, and no one has really solved the
drudgery of it (well, as far as I know, but I haven't looked in a very
long time). Good Luck!
- jcr 12y agos/txio/tixo/g Sorry about getting the name wrong. For some reason my subconscious decided on "tx" (transmit) and "io" (Input/Output). ;)
- tixocloud 12y agoThanks for the fantastic feedback, jcr. Don't worry about being harsh - it's where we all learn :) I'll definitely address your decisions. Was following a someone else's advice about putting it together quickly and getting it up and running but clearly it's not worked out yet. Haven't had a single conversion!
