Roast my landing page

Hey, fam! Just uploaded to the server the landing page for my new product called Prepto.

Prepto is a product that helps with PHP technical interview preparation.

I did my best to make it look confident and clear, so don't hesitate to roast it. Especially developers (target audience).

Here is the link -- https://prepto.tech

What I did do wrong and what annoys you scrolling through the site?

    Can this also help for coding questions?

    1. 1

      It's not intended to, I only focus on the talk side of interviews at the moment.

      Just to get it right:
      "How do you reverse a string in Java?" -- do you mean coding questions like that or when you are asked to code smth during the interview?

  2. 2

    I don't like the design in the corner of the boxes due to it being on the texts you want me to read.

    The "What is this?" Section could use some formatting/design vs being a long arrival with no emphasis, should be able to skim it and get points out of it.

    It's not a bad page overall

    Hi Valera,

    Great job thus far! The overall page design is great and you follow some of the great principles I use when building landing pages for my SaaS clients.

    Some quick feedback:

    1. The above-the-fold copy needs some finessing. "Smart way" isn't a good value prop. Does it save them time? Money? I would also work on the supporting copy to give a better description of what the tech does.

    2. The "What is this" section has way too much copy (ie. text). It needs to be more concise as it reads currently as more of a blog that quick about section.

    3. Focus on the pain points & why your tech is a benefit/solving those problems.

    If you ever want to talk landing pages or even go to market strategy, I work with early-stage SaaS founders to help them with all things go to market/marketing related.

    Happy to hop on a call and give some tips (no sales in this call, just trying to give back to the community).

    Links are in my profile or book a call here.

    I also give out a lot of free tips on my LinkedIn 5x per week.

    1. The image behind "Smart way to prepare for PHP interviews " looks like a very low-quality image (I can see the pixels).

    2. This text "Smart way to prepare for PHP interviews With our library of 27 backend topics, power of AI and tracking system." Doesn't tell me much.

    3. I feel like the "What is this?" and "So when would Prepto be useful?" parts are too long for me to read and not engaging. I just see black text on a white background as if it were a Word document.

    The rest is great! Adding some animations when objects come to view would make the landing page more engaging :)

    I would try a different background image on the hero section or even leave it just white. I would also reduce the padding of the header, seems too distant from the sides, but I guess that's just my personal taste.

    I think there may be too much text on the "What is this" section.

    I really like the Features section.

    Wishing you great luck!

  6. 1

    In short:

    I think the main problem is copywriting.

    For example: The "What this is" section, with a too generic title, is too long, visitors don't have the patience to read everything, you could instead tell everything through illustrations and separate, small texts.

    The design is not very attractive, the key messages do not stand out.

    I think with all the feedback from other users you can improve things a lot!

  7. 1

    I think you need to be clearer with your hero section.

    What is it that makes this a "smart way to prepare"?

    Move some of the detail from the "What is this" section into your hero header/subheader and it'll hook people in right away.

    I also think the what is this section is way too long. Turn it into two short paragraphs: one outlining the problem customers face, the other explaining your solution.

  8. 1

    I like the clean and professional look. A stronger CTA would be better

    • It says "Smart way to prepare for PHP interviews", I think Smart can be subjective, think of something more objective.
    • I didn't get what the "Senior PHP Backend Developer (Laravel)" frame is about. Its actually a little bit confusing.
    • What's the background information you use to say confidently that those topics are the topics needed to practice PHP and land a job? I think that if you want people to use your platform, they will be asking this. Maybe you can add the source of that information and some testimonies of people recruiting PHP developers to confirm that.
    • The "What is this" section seems a little bit long, I will recommend that you focus more on the topic, what the site is about, who needs this, etc.. Maybe you can use the WHY, HOW and WHAT approach to clarify things and evade too much text.

    This is just my opinion but I hope this helps you in your discovery phase. Good luck.

    PS: I am a developer among other things.
