🚨 Community landing page roast: give a roast, get a roast 🚨

by

Let’s bring back everyone’s favorite kind of feedback: brutally honest and weirdly helpful.
Drop a link to your landing page in the comments. Then roast someone else’s. Keep it real, keep it useful, keep it (mostly) kind 🫶


🗣️ We’re talking:

  • What’s confusing?

  • What’s missing?

  • What’s great but buried?

  • Would you actually sign up or bounce?

👀 The rules:

  1. Give a roast → pick someone else’s page and leave thoughtful feedback.

  2. Get a roast → now you get to hear what’s not working on yours.

  3. Repeat for maximum insight (and pain).

Let’s make each other’s pages better, one slightly painful truth at a time 👇

@new_user___142202423266b2aaa452077 Nice website! Love the video.

Some small things I noticed:
- the top margin above the hero title seems unnecessarily large - I guess if you are on a 32inch monitor the video might fit above the fold, but on my 27inch one its cut off but would fit if the top margin was smaller.
- Grammar mistake in the copy "Multiple businesses have rely on GeniusGate to elevate their messaging..."
- The point about chatGPT "No context information and brand voice in consideration" might not be entirely true - I can use projects which have my project documents and rules about brand, company terminology, tone of voice etc.
- design a little too dark for my taste but that's highly subjective so not much of a point.
- the success story screenshots of GA don't seem too convincing: i.e. the previous period graph does not seem that much different taking into account potential for random variation between two periods. Also just takes a while to parse and understand what I am looking at with the GA screenshots.

Otherwise looks great - will bookmark and might test it out for my website.

Sincerely appreciate the feedback. The grammatical error is something someone else caught today, so we're going to get that part fixed as soon as possible.

And definitely, any feedback on the software helps as we're going to be re-iterating it as soon as possible.

I'll pass this on to the developers, etc.

@new_user___142202423266b2aaa452077 Oh boy and I was about to tell you that your website loooks nice but then I saw the H1 copy. Bro this is the most generic copy I've seen all day. Like I'll read this and feel absolutely nothing. Also the video, I ain't got time for that. Show me the product I wanna see it. Features seems fine even with that stack card effect.

Hope that helps, no hard feelings intended. Good luck


Alex

@mzkvisuals 

Hey Kaoian,


The best feedback is the most direct, and that's what matters most. I can deffo get the H1 readjusted. I'll raise this to my developer to get changed. The rest would be harder as I put the features in the video and in the stack card effect: the screenshots are from the software.

I appreciate the honest feedback.

Kaloian Toshev

@new_user___142202423266b2aaa452077 No problem. Good luck Alex

Here we go: useformwork.com


Especially looking for feedback on whether the messaging is obvious of what FormWork is and who is it for to start with, though of course any feedback is appreciated.

Sorry can't make it a hyperlink as the comment update fails with "invalid content detected" - weird.

Kaloian Toshev

@andriusbartulis I understand it's something about forms and for developers, so it ain't for me and I can't understand further. Anyway I like how simple and neat the whole page but it lacks soul. Just add 1 image of the product on a macbook, or a graphic or a person, just 1 thing and it will give it a soul and complicate the orange color. Also you have one logo in header and another in footer. The one in footer is much better as it's simple and clean.
Good luck

Andrius Bartulis

@mzkvisuals thanks a lot for the detailed feedback! this is actually really useful - great idea on a stylized screenshot or a few. I like what Linear does on their homepage with screenshots and use them as design elements rather than just slapping a picture in.

Yeah our old logo is quite heavy. I am thinking to redesign it as the bottom one uses an off-the-shelf SVG so don't want to really base a logo off that but the idea is simple and will try applying it to the new logo.

Thanks again and if you would like me to check out your page content-wise and message-wise (visually I am not much of help!) just let me know.

Matt Carroll

shoutout to @mzkvisuals who is absolutely dispatching fuego on these landing pages.

Kaloian Toshev

@catt_marroll It ain't much but it's honest work :D

Matt Carroll

@mzkvisuals excited for your launch, and happy to have found your product through this thread!

Matt Carroll

https://myfinancereport.com/

last thread i got a ton of great feedback and iterated! Get me to v3 by telling me how bad this is.

Kaloian Toshev

@catt_marroll Did you just typed the logo My Finance and were like, dude I gotta give something extra to make it look more like a logo not just text then change the e to é and were like... I'm a fuckin genious :D Other then this I have nothing else. The design is very simple and streightforward, so it's fast as well. Maybe just consider creating a logo at some point to add an identity to the whole thing.

Matt Carroll

@mzkvisuals hahaha yeah it was almost exactly that wrt the name! @daniellemaughon is working on a logo which im excited about! agree there is no real brand identity right now. thanks for taking a look!

Kaloian Toshev

@daniellemaughon  @catt_marroll Sure thing. Good luck, I'm sure you'll have a great logo there!

No mercy! thanks

Praveen chary

@michael_vavilov  Your home page really looks good. Great work.


  • Recruiters often want to “see how it works.” Add a short explainer video or animation near the “Find Top Talent” section.

  • May be you can add "3 months free" at the hero section CTA to make it more compelling

  • You can try adding a "Talk to an expert" for users who want to connect and find more answers.

Again, good work with the page. All the best.

Greg

@michael_vavilov 

Great looking page, lean & clean, congrats!

A few takes:

  • Smarter Recruitment: what does this mean exactly?

  • Quickly match job requirements to the right candidates, cutting time-to-hire and reducing costs: aren't the usual ATS already doing this?

  • Start with the problem you're solving

  • And you can give a few examples (not all HR are struggling with the same recruitments)

  • Join beta: I'd with a Premium approach "Become one of the 50 chosen few to test it"

Let's connect, I've been into HRTech and launched a company as well ;)

Art West

Thanks for roasting! https://makerthrive.com

@art_west1 

  • Wow is this super meta to get roasted on what seems to be a community feeedback product?

  • Landing page is clean and makes a ton of sense

  • The image on the hero is so noisy it's hard to tell what the value is from the community. With only one comment, it seems like it's hard to tell what's what

  • No pricing makes me suspicious, just my two cents. I'd actually want to pay for this so that everyone in the group is "serious"

  • 70,000 and 20,000 numbers are wildly different, are these real?

Art West

haha right?? great feedback, ty! so the newsletter has 20k and the rest is 70k which is why the diff in numbers

steve beyatte

@art_west1 ah got it! you can plug your community in your roast on the thread, too!

@cameron_froese 

  • Pretty cool

  • Great logos- is that for real?

  • I think drilling into a case study with one of the big logos would be more effective than quotes

  • The sample agent was choppier and less natural sounding than some of the newer voice AI demos I've done recently, just a note

  • It was unclear to me how I'd plug this into an actual call center and not just a chatbot. The verbiage around missed calls made me think that was important.

Matt Carroll

those logos are amazing, i probably would put them above the cards across the page (those honestly confused me) so they are above the fold on a macbook.

i think its a huge differentiator and imo instills a lot of confidence.

Cameron Froese

@catt_marroll 

thanks for the feedback! I'm going to bump the logos up and move the cards to a different section or replace with something else to add clarity around our product

Matt Carroll

@cameron_froese cool! ya no problem. also meant to say, but your page in general is nice :)

Cameron Froese

@steveb thank you for the feedback! Yes those logos are for real...we've been very fortunate to work with some strong brands this early on.

Your last point is valuable as well I need to find a way to add clarity this. We're a platform where you can build and customize voice agents. These agents can interact with to existing calendars and CRMs in order to automate most tier 1 and tier 2 workflows over the phone. They can either live on a website in form of a voice bubble like what's on our own website or can be hosted on a phone number through Twilio or other providers.

Thiago Penazzo Lorenzo

@cameron_froese 

  • The layout is nice, but the header bar blends with the page due to lack of initial contrast.

  • The video sample would be more effective if it showed someone making the appointment on the phone, rather than just audio and subtitles.

  • Learn more through an AI Workshop: Where?

  • Preview is helpful, but requiring Twilio should be stated clearly beforehand, as it's a blocker.

    • I can't finish the trial now because I don't have a Twilio account.

      Now it's your time to roast ebookmaker.ai

sakshi patil

@cameron_froese Hey, great website and idea! Just to many face cards for me, feels a little overwhelming scrolling the first time

Navigable AI Admin

Actually need the feedback: https://www.navigable.ai

Kaloian Toshev

@navigable_ai_admin Website feel compact and simple. I would love to see some bigger visuals or graphic elements or just bigger typography. You need a designer here. Also this logo... it's killing me. It's so complex and feels outdated.

Navigable AI Admin

@mzkvisuals Thanks for the honest feedback. We will work on it!

Kaloian Toshev

@navigable_ai_admin Sure thing. Good luck and no hard feelings intended

RJA

let the roasting begin: yyadvisory.co

Matt Carroll

@rja honestly I can't tell if this is a joke or not? I like the show so i get the references, but are you actually real?

RJA

@catt_marroll - yes it is legit! Obviously I'm a fan of the show and wanted to show something a bit different...

It may not be relevant (or even make sense) to those who don't watch the show, but I'm sticking with the theme and branding for now.

Matt Carroll

@rja hah ok thats awesome! I did really like it, i just couldn't tell if i was being rick rolled or something!

Matt Carroll

@rja 

here are some thoughts!

1. there are a lot of different fonts -- probably not a big deal, but it would be nice to remove some
2. the cards are a bit inconsistent -> the accordian doesnt have a box shadow and the No soup has no border radius
3.

this just looks a bit strange on mobile

its super interesting in general! I feel like you will bifurcate your visitors and I think someone who doesn't know the show will be very confused. If thats acceptable to you, then i think its a very memorable site!

Kaloian Toshev

@rja In my 21 year design career as a designer with multiple awards and recognitions, I've never seen more beautiful website. This is art, not design :D My favorite part? "Not convinced yet? Read On" frickin genuious, how I never thought about this :D

Matthew Lozier-Davis

There are way too many fonts for this to be used professionally. Ideally, you should use one (or a complementary pair of two) for a professional look. If you want to emphasize a particular word ,you can change its color, underline it, change its size, or bold it

RJA

@matthewl580 ty, this is helpful feedback!

Arpan Garg

https://www.commudle.com So much to improve, even more to build, please be kind :)

Greg

@arpan_garg 

  • Pro look, lean

  • Everyone's in India, this could be a turnoff for others (or a strengh, if you want to niche down!)

Arpan Garg

@conversionrocks Thanks! We initially focussed on India, have changed how the product looks in the past couple of weeks to relate with international audience, localized content coming up soon!
