Supporting Designers during Covid-19

May 6, 2020

All of us are aware of the widespread destruction caused due to the Covid-19 pandemic. There is constant help provided by governments, social services, organizations, and people like you and me helping each other to come out safe and sound from this pandemic. There are lots of people that are trying to make their ends meet. Despite all these measures, there are loss of jobs due to lockdown, loss in demand due to businesses cutting down costs. While everyone is firing, we are hiring! In the past couple of months, we have seen a huge spike in the number of designers applying for jobs.

How to Design Flawless Website Layout

April 11, 2020

No matter what kind of platform you have, be it a blog, magazine, portfolio site, or online store, you can rest assured that there are numerous sites out there that have the same purpose. If you want to succeed at what you do, your website needs to stand out. Good design is good business. To help you out, here 6 essentials to designing a flawless website layout. Define Your Goal You should establish what you want to achieve before you get to work. Do you want to generate new leads? Improve your sales? Offer a great reading experience? Whatever your goals are, your website should reflect them. Contemplate your goals while you are trying to come up with the site’s description. When defining goals, think about your target audience. Their goals matter as well. What do you want to present to your target audience? What problems do they have? What solution are you offering to them? Keep It Simple The Hick-Hyman Law states that the more choices a person has, the longer it takes them to make a decision. You do want your users to spend more time on your site, but you want them to enjoy their time there, not hate it. By giving them too many options, you will just frustrate them, and that’s not what we are going for. If you want to avoid that, you need to make your website layout intuitive. Don’t overwhelm them with menu items. Only include items that are essential, such as Blog, Services, Products, FAQ, Contact Us, and About Us. When naming items, be straightforward. For instance, calling your products “Our Bread and Butter” may sound very creative, but it will make for a horrible element on your site. Vagueness doesn’t convert well. It’s true that your site needs to stand out for it to be successful, but naming your blog “My Musings” isn’t how you’re gonna get there. To make sure your visitors will understand everything quickly and easily, use plain language. Utilize the Power of Color People utilize the psychology of color in business, marketing, and design to achieve their goals. Considering that 85% of consumers cite color as the main reason why they purchase a particular product, it is safe to say that color is one of the most powerful tools you have. You have to carefully consider the colors you will use if you want to ensure a flawless website layout. The colors you choose will transcend your website. If you are setting up a business site or an online shop, this choice can affect every facet of your business. Consider how fundamental branding is for your business, as color is a major part of that as well. Think about Twitter, YouTube, Google, Facebook, Quora, etc. The most successful brands use their colors as their foundation. Since a signature color can increase brand recognition by 80%, it’s no wonder so many major brands heavily rely on their colors. Follow their example. When deciding on which colors to use, start by checking out a color palette and remembering step one—simplicity is key. For instance, you can use colors that are opposite each other on the color palette (complementary colors), or you can use the ones that are next to each other (analogous colors). Purple is soothing, yellow emanates youthfulness, and orange creates a call to action. Use the science of colors to your advantage. The right colors will give your site depth and make it more interesting, but they will also represent your brand, so take your time with this one. Don’t Forget About Google There’s more to web design than meets the eye, quite literally—it’s not all about what you can see. Your visitors won’t be the only ones looking at your website. Search engines such as Google and Bing will also be interested in your website. And, if they like what they find, your site will rank better on their search pages. The process of making your site search-engine-friendly is called search engine optimization and it will help you attract more visitors. You should focus on SEO from the get-go. It’s something that you will continuously need to work on, as many businesses do. But, most of them start SEO after they have a website designed. That’s putting the cart before the horse, so they often have to get back to the drawing board. Designing a search-engine-friendly website takes some planning. For your site to rank better on Google, you need to publish content that answers Google’s search inquiries, and you need to make it easy for Google’s web crawlers to navigate your site. Your site must include a blog. It will be the backbone of your SEO efforts. You should use it to target keywords, answer people’s questions, convey the purpose of your site, and provide useful content in general. To exercise good SEO hygiene, avoid using repetitive wording in your site’s layout. The way you name links and images is also important. The content management system you choose (CMS) will have a great impact on your site’s relationship with Google. For most businesses and purposes, WordPress should work best. Take the time to get better acquainted with Google Analytics. It’s a tool that will help you see what you can improve. Use Negative Space If you want to make your site simple and pleasant to look at, you will have to make heavy use of negative space (aka white space). It allows you to drive visitors exactly where you want them to be. For instance, you can use it to lead them to your Call-To-Action (CTA). So, negative space is so much more than space that just fills the void between text and photos. Google’s home page is a perfect example of how negative space should be used. There are no distractions and there is no clutter; it’s very clear what you need to do when you load the page. The photos and items are kept to a minimum. Be like Google, use

tips and tricks for designers for new design trends of 2020

Tips and Tricks to Becoming a Better Designer

April 3, 2020

Whether you’re a novice or a pro, you can always find ways to improve your skills and become a better designer. The field is constantly changing, and new tools become available all the time. Let’s explore some foundational tips for beginning and intermediate designers and some new tools that even seasoned pros may not know about yet. A Concrete Foundation to Build Upon If you’ve ever watched pro athletes in off-season training, what do you see them doing? Odds are, they are working on skills that make them look like they are just learning to play the game. They are working on the basics. Why? Because building a solid foundation of skills doesn’t mean you can practice something once and forget about it. Pro athletes must maintain muscle memory to have quick reflexes to perform at their peak during games. Your design skills are like muscles—you must exercise them. Think of your skills like a house. If you noticed a crack in your home’s foundation, you would do something about it, right? A weakness in the foundation could cause the whole house to lean off-kilter. Skills, like foundations, require maintenance to keep them strong. Check your design foundation to see where cracks may be forming. Develop your strengths and make any necessary changes. To become a better designer, hold yourself accountable to continuously maintain your basic skills, and revisit them often. Actions to strengthen your basic skills may include: Studying design theory and any recent developments. Brushing up on design principles. Understanding the evolution of design over the years to spot new ideas when they arise. Training your eye to recognize good designs that employ the basics. Working with a mentor or coach. Keep your foundation strong and the rest will follow. Even if you feel like you’ve had enough training in the basics, revisit them again and again. Doing so will keep your creative muscles strong, fit, and agile. Stay Current on New Trends and Tools Stay ahead of the curve in your awareness of new trends. Don’t be afraid to try new things. Better yet, seek out ways to become a trendsetter. How does one become a trendsetter? Be bold. Find ways to help the design field evolve. Sometimes, retro comes back. Find ways to make “out with the new” and “in with the old” fresh and exciting. Mash together current trends. Find new ways to combine current trends that compliment one another. Know your target. The public relations industry has spent trillions of dollars over the decades to figure out exactly how to trigger certain human reactions. Use that to your advantage. Attend a design bootcamp. Web design bootcamps are a great way to further your education in design. They can help you learn and apply the latest trends as well as inspire you to create new trends. Plus, they’re a great way to meet other creatives with whom you can share ideas. Once you master the fundamentals of how to appeal to unconscious decision-making, it’s time to focus on implementing the latest design tools at your disposal. Best New Design Tools for 2020 Disruption is the name of the game for the 2020s, and many businesses are following suit, aiming to be the hottest new thing in design tools. Find your way out of your comfort zone. Gain insight and inspiration by experimenting with every new design tool that comes available. Some of the hottest tools for designers are: FlowMapp – for creating sitemaps & user-flow graphs Eagle – for creating mood boards & get inspired RemoveBg – enables you to removes backgrounds automatically VisualEyes – an AI-powered eye-tracking tool for tracking website user experience MockPlus – helps with faster UX designing & collaboration Whimsical – for project planning & mind maps Adobe XD – easier prototyping & design Framer – for web design & prototyping Khroma – an AI-powered color tool InVision – easier wireframing & design feedback ProtoPie – easier web design prototypes Let’s Enhance – an AI-powered enhancement tool Sketch – for more simple prototyping & design ProofHub – streamlined project planning & collaboration ColorMind – inspiring color scheme generator ProjectHuddle – for web design & live website feedback ThisPersonDoesNotExist – an AI-powered random face generator Fronty – simple image to HTML conversion Markup – gather live website feedback & collaboration Pastel – helps with website feedback & static designs FontJoy – easy font-pairing tool Toybox – easier collaboration & task management Avocode – turns static designs into code LogicalPlan – easier web design project planning Timezy – Schedule appointments and meetings with your design clients without going back and forth through email. MapSVG – A WordPress map plugin that helps you create custom content and show it on a vector, image, or Google Maps – with filters and search. Free Image Upscaler – 2x upscale & enhance images with smart AI. The tools above are just a small sliver of the many that can help make your job as a designer easier so you can dedicate more time to focus on creativity and helping your clients. Additionally, if you notice there is an issue these tools still don’t address, it could be a great opportunity for you to design a solution for designers all around the world!

Draftss: Year in Review (2019)

January 2, 2020

Hey Readers, Here we are with some year ending stats of 2019. We had a wonderful year at Draftss.com with some major growth, learnings, and setbacks. We shall try to elaborate each of them below starting with some introduction and numbers: Draftss is a productized unlimited graphic design & frontend code service on a weekly subscription. Draftss covers services from Logo Design, Branding, Illustrations, Social Media Graphics, Web Design, App Design, UI/UX, Frontend coding, WordPress and just about everything else there is within Design. The designs subscription starts from $89/week. Stats for 2019 $66k ARR 54 clients 8267 designs created 114 pages coded Learnings throughout the year 2019 While there were several successes throughout the year, there were more setbacks as compared to the successes. I think it’s apt that we focus on the mistakes that we made throughout the year and the learnings that we gained out of it. Annual Pricing The first and foremost mistake that comes on top of my mind was having an Annual Pricing on our website giving the user an impression that our service was pretty expensive. We had initially launched with 2 pricing options of Monthly Pricing and Annual Pricing for Design Plan. Our monthly Design plan costs $349/month and our annual Design plan costs $3490/year. For a customer visiting the website would find the amount to be too excessive to be purchased in the first instance. Ideally, the visitor wouldn’t consider purchasing an Annual plan without testing our services thoroughly with our monthly plans. We did receive a few inquiries for the annual plans but none of them converted into annual customers. We tried upselling the annual plans to our existing customers, but the resulting amount was pretty significant for startup founders to commit at one go. We eventually learned that B2B companies and other design agencies are more suitable for Annual plans. P.S. We have a few customers that we have been working with for more than a year but have been paying for monthly subscriptions. Payment Partner Mishap Often when your service providers make an upgrade, it’s pretty exciting to see new features and make the most out of your current provider. However, in our case, every time there was an upgrade, we faced some new issues. In one instance, they were unable to capture new payments for around 15-25 days. We didn’t even know such an issue occurred till a customer emailed us that she was trying to sign up but her payment kept failing. After constant follow-ups with the payment gateway provider, it took around 20-25 days to get the issue resolved. In a separate incident where our service provider made an upgrade, they were unable to auto-renew the subscriptions of our existing customers for 10-14 days. So customers whose subscription got expired within this period enjoyed a week of service due to the non-billing of our payment provider. We switched to Paddle during this incident, but they shut down our account abruptly quoting “We do not support human services” even though we had discussed with their support team about our productized service before moving 50% of our clients to Paddle. P.S. We are still using the same provider to date. However, since Stripe is now available in India, we might switch to Stripe soon. How did we figure that we were proceeding in the wrong direction? We participated in Startup School 2019. This participation has been one of the most productive things that we have done this year. Speaking to other founders made us some serious errors that we made. Learning from these mistakes we made some major reformations in the company one of them being shifting a full-time team to a partially local remote team. Some other major learnings from this participation: All founders are struggling. Some founders are struggling with the product-market fit, while others are struggling with growth or hiring. Just make the most out of every day and it will be a gradual success over the course of time. Discussions lead to a whole new world of ideas and tactics that you can implement in your startup. The synergy between founders can go a long way in helping build each other’s brand. Give back to the community to mould the ecosystem. Learn from your competitors. P.S. We are participating in Startup School 2020. Shifting to a New Office Learnings over the course of the year helped us make appropriate decisions. This included having a partially remote team which also helped up cut down on the office and administration expenses. Currently, the founders, sales, operations, live chat, and some designers & developers work full-time from our office. Remaining designers & developers are local and work remotely and visit office occasionally only when required. P.S. Real-estate is pretty expensive in Mumbai even as per global standards. Hiring Dilemma Hiring was also a pretty challenging task for us. We have been very choosy with having the right person to work with our team. This meant that anybody who qualified to be a good designer didn’t necessarily mean that we had them on board unless they sync with the social environment within the company. We have been evaluating the candidates via Behance/Dribbble along with a few local hiring platforms to find the right fit for Draftss. After the preliminary examination, we give the designers a short design test. This test often comprises of a live project which we receive from our clients with the actual design brief and then evaluate the designer’s submissions. For developers, we have one standard code test that we ask all developers to code and then we evaluate the developer’s submissions before meeting them at our office personally. If we are unsure about a candidate’s skill-set, we give them additional tasks to ensure we are definitely hiring the right fit for the company. P.S. All live-test projects are paid. Friction without our own Dashboard We do not have a Draftss Dashboard for our clients at present. We manage all projects using third-party

5 Risky eCommerce Design Blunders to Avoid

May 20, 2019

Introduction eCommerce modern tendencies and statistics 5 Risky Web Design Trends Used by Real Websites Too informative Too responsive Too flashy Too visual Too Interactive Bottoms up Introduction “Remember, every “Mistake” users make is not because they’re stupid, but because your website sucks.” (Peep Laja, Principal of CXL) That means, don’t assume that everything is OK if you’ve built your e-store in accordance with the latest web design trends. Open your webpage, put yourself in your shoppers’ shoes and try to do everything they do step by step. Click on all the possible links – from About us to Shopping cart. Peep into all the categories and subcategories. Scroll all the pages up and down. Look through all the images, sliders, and galleries. Are you satisfied with all the aspects? Do you need to fix anything or improve? However, prior to digging too much into your store performance and functionality, take a look at the overall appearance and homepage. Take into account that particularly first impressions are critical. It means that you have 3 or maximum of 5 seconds to convince your shopper that your e-commerce service deserves his attention and further site stay. eCommerce modern tendencies and statistics Each and every year web design trends are entitled to update because the internet is constantly developing. ECommerce shows impressive grows with each passing year. About 25% of the population worldwide is shopping online. It is estimated that by the end of 2020 the number of global shoppers will be more than 2.14 billion (as per backofficepro). Why do customers prefer shopping online to visiting brick-and-mortar malls? There are tons of reasons but the key ones among them are: the ability to make a purchase at any time of day or night; the ability to compare prices and find the cheapest products (keeping track of deals, clearance, special offers, discounts); a time-saving process because it’s possible to shop even sitting at home; a wide selection of products; crowds free and many others. With the increasing number of e-stores on the web, customers become more demanding for user experience and website designs. For this reason, eCommerce businesses keep a close watch on the latest eCommerce trends, facts, and statistics and try to adapt their stores to them. However, sometimes it doesn’t work because some design trends turn to be inefficient and even risky for sites. Let’s know more about such trends using real-life website examples. 5 Risky Web Design Trends Used by Real Websites 1. Too Informative… Sometimes it’s very difficult to achieve balance in design. In an itch of standing out of the crowd, webmasters use too much of design components. Today users are enjoying a rich variety of typography elements and effects. Typography can be enough expressive to focus on website visitors’ attention to the main subject of any business. However, it’s important to keep a balance between ‘enough’ and ‘too much.’ Take a look at the homepage of lingscars.com. It seems that an owner wants to combine that cannot be combined. A website visitor doesn’t know where to look first. It’s very hard to focus on the main topic of the site because there are too many texts, too many headings, too many colors, and too many of all the possible typography elements. Source: lingscars.com 2. Too responsive… eCommerce goes mobile. More and more shoppers prefer buying on the go, so mobile-friendly websites are must-haves. So, why does ‘too responsive’ mean bad? It can turn a real disaster when an entrepreneur firstly runs a mobile version of his e-store and then tries to adapt it for desktops. Such an approach in website building is entirely wrong. When you put a mobile mode in the very core, a desktop mode is neglected, to a certain extent. For example, take a look at the harmonious appearance of the H&M mobile website. However, this balanced design is broken on the desktop version because of too much white space. It looks empty and incomplete. Source: H&M According to Wolfgangdigital’s KPI 2019 findings, though more than 50% belongs to mobile traffic, mobile revenue accounts for just 32%. It means that modern shoppers prefer searching for needed items from their portative devices but they complete their purchase from desktops in most cases (see image below). It means responsivity is a must-have factor for website building. However, this feature has to be incorporated in the right way. Firstly, build a website flowing impeccably on desktops/laptops and then adapt it for mobile devices/tablets. Source: wolfgangdigital.com If you have no coding skills, you can opt for ready-to-use responsive templates, which are already adapted to any screen. For instance, TemplateMonster marketplace offers outstanding WordPress WooCommerce themes, WooStroid2. The digital product meets all the possible web trends and features a professionally crafted responsive design, which will certainly satisfy both desktop fans and mobile users (see the picture below). Source: Woostroid2 WooCommerce Theme 3. Too flashy… A pair of years ago, web designers penetrated into minimalistic solutions. They were guided by the rule “Simplicity is the key to success.” However, too many entrepreneurs turned to this approach in web design. For this reason, modern website owners try to cut themselves off neutral (white and black) colors and shine on the web using a rich color palette. Unfortunately, some of them have got in from of themselves. The result of ‘too many colors’ is obvious at lingscars.com. Source: lingscars.com A rich variety of different colors placed in one the page look very bad, irritating, and amateur. Remember that too many hues confuse the eye so your website visitors will abandon as soon as possible. The good design consists of maximum three (rarely four) colors and they must be complemented to one another. Source: LifeHacker 4. Too visual How to find a happy medium between legibility and informational contents? Many e-commerce businesses try to demonstrate items, provide a comprehensive description of products, and leave enough while space simultaneously. Unfortunately, all of them don’t succeed. Sometimes imagery does more harm than good. Some

Admission Consulting Web UI/UX Design Feedback: MapleToIvy

April 18, 2019

Hello Founders, We are covering MapleToIvy for our Design feedback round. Here are a few suggestions to improve the current version of the landing page UI/UX: The current website looks beautiful. However, there are few UI fixes that could be done. Increase the contact number in the navbar slightly. Since it is not a link, you would want your customers to read the number and call you. Increasing the size would act as a better visible aid. Align the navbar website as per a container such that the whole website is aligned to the same left alignment. Increase the size of “Book a free consultation”. Increase the font size of title “95% of our students…” “The competition to get into…” paragraph which is currently bold should have an increased font size and have a different color to it. You should have only one CTA instead of two in “Beat the odds.” section. In the above section, the right icon and content look pretty amazing. But it can be better if you only use 3 line description for all icon content. In the “Attract the top..” the “Enroll now” button can be next to the “Book a free consultation”. You have used “Book a free consultation” and “Enroll now” button everywhere. Instead, you should use the contact number as a CTA in “Turn your reach schools…” section. Social media icons seem to be missing. After the “Follow in the footsteps” there should be a small FAQ section having a few questions and a button to read full FAQ.

Design UI UX for InfluxDB & Prometheus as a Service

March 19, 2019

Hello Founders, We are covering Fully Managed and Hosted InfluxDB and Prometheus as a Service for our feedback round. Here are a few suggestions to improve the current version of the landing page UI/UX: To start with, I think the header of the website is the best as compared with other sections of the website You should reduce the empty space between “Use you favorite StatsD lib…” and the text box Change the color of ‘Get Started’ button to Blueish Purple Color that can be seen in the Logo Did you try a version of the landing page where the sample code on the right-hand side has a color theme? Maybe using a default color theme of Sublime Text so that more developer can relate to it as a friendly and easy code to use. The signup button on the nav bar should have rounded corners The nav-bar should have links to the features section which scrolls down to the features section The dividing line above the ‘We take the hassle out of it!’ could be smaller. No need to stretch it till the end of the page “We take hassle out of it” section: — Increase the line spacing in the title ‘Focus on your product…’ — The features below could be bigger so that less empty space is visible — The list of features inside, like “setting up can…” and other similar ones can come in bullet points or relevant icons before them — The image on the right should have round corners “Get up and running in under 15 minutes” section: — Increase the size of the icons — Add descriptive text underneath all the 3 titles just like you have it for ‘Watch your Data stream’ — Change the “and” in the section title to “&” so it looks shorter. — Change the color of section title to white “You want to get the job done…” text looks very cramped up… maybe reduce the text or add more line spacing Change the color of the red fish to blueish purple from the logo Remove the extra space from the top and bottom in the ‘Ready to get started’ section Change the font of ‘Most Popular’ to something else. No Comic Sans Please! 🙂 Personally, maybe try re-doing the complete pricing section The footers seem like it has been left out.

Graphic UI Design Feedback for OrbitsApp

March 17, 2019

Hello Founders, We are covering OrbitsApp for our feedback round. Here are a few suggestions to improve the current version of the landing page UI/UX: Add OrbitsApp.com next to the logo so that visitors remember the name. Once you are very popular with your audience then you can pull the solo logo branding. But at an early stage, it doesn’t make any sense. Add some navigation links in the header, it currently looks too empty. (Add hyperlinks of features, how it works, join now) The header image should come above the title ‘Encourage readers to stay…”. Personally, I think you should consider changing the image. If you’d like to try some uniqueness, you can bold the second line of the title text “recommending what to read next” so that it is easily readable and understandable in a few seconds about what OrbitsApp does. (Attached Screenshot) Change the text of ‘Reduce bounce rate’ to ‘Reduce Bounce Rate’. Increase the font size of ‘Reduce Bounce Rate’ & ‘Recirculate Content’. ‘Perfect for improving user engagement’ can be bold and same blue color as the OrbitsApp logo. Before starting ‘how it works’ section maybe you could add a gif of the product in action and how does it look. Increase the size of the 2nd icon or change it to something that looks similar to the other two in space proportion. Change the text of ‘Import your links’ to ‘Import your Links’. Join the beta section can be inverted. Meaning the background can be blue and text and button in white. Integrate live chat to the website which is very helpful for converting prospects.

Website Review for Ecommerce side project

February 10, 2019

Hello Founders, We are covering a side-project prototype for our feedback round. Here are a few suggestions to improve the current version of the landing page UI/UX: To start with, I think the header image could be something better and more relatable to your audience. Something that shows your target audience interacting or your product or both. The icons above the ‘Stay active, Stay connected, Improve the quality of life’ can be improved and have 3 different colors for 3 different icons so that the landing page feels more like “smile”, “active”, “fun”, “engaging” You can add emojis instead of the bullet points in the ‘What’s inside the box’ section ‘What’s inside the box’ section feels too black currently, maybe you can try using, a grey or a bold or different color for the title so that it doesn’t feel boring. ‘What’s inside the box’ section is the section that your audience would want to know about your proposition. This is the section where most of your selling needs to be done. Maybe adding some images on the right side would help make it better. For the 3 points inside ‘How it works’ you can use the same colors that you use for the icons in the ‘stay active, stay connected, improve quality’ section Reduce the space between ‘Get notified when…’ and ‘A perfect gift for your parents… The submit button could have a different color other than red. The K Mug/Cup image on the right can better. Something that connects more with your audience. Create a logo for your brand and use it in the header and footer. Create a favicon from the logo and use it in the tab icon. Contact details in the footer should be bigger so that your product feels more reachable. Add live chat to the website. It helps in converting prospective customers quicker. If you want Landing Page feedback for your website too.

Gradient Landing Page Review: SocialN.io

February 7, 2019

Hello Founders, We are covering SocialN.io for our feedback round. Here are a few suggestions to improve the current version of the landing page UI/UX: The first look on the landing page is definitely positive and wow! The size of the text in the navbar could be a bit bigger The line underneath each section “home, features…contact” is too lengthy; make it smaller. Small enough to fit FAQ text, this way on all other places it would appear shorter than the text, which should give it a more crisp effect. Try changing the text inside Login and Signup button to capital letters The main opener text and the diagrammatic representation of the product are also good, but both are utilizing almost the same amount of space. This is a distraction and confusion for the user subconsciously on which part his eyes should focus on first, which part is more important. You can try slightly reducing the size of the diagram to make it more impactful. Coming to the diagram, the left side “Your social media accounts” isn’t really needed. You should focus on making the gif on the right more better. The gif currently shows on Twitter widget appearing on repeat. You can try a version where, — increase the size of the widget — make the widget with other social accounts as well — maybe for the sake of representation only you can show social media icon on widget where “your logo” is there. Remove the See Demo button from the diagram and add it underneath the main text. Change the text from “See Demo” to “See Quick Example” or something similar, The word “demo” induces time lengthy activity in the minds of the users and it feels like more of the demo of the whole saas app, where in reality you are showing a quick example of how the outcome widget looks like, and thus you should really communicate something where people can quickly check how the widget appears rather than talk about a “demo” Features Section — Increase the size of the icons, probably by at least twice as of current. Pricing Section — Remove the word ‘Plan’ from all the plans — In the Free Plan section, change ‘SocialN Link’ to ‘SocialN Branding’ — I guess for all of the pricing you support same platforms, so it is best to remove the platforms section from all of the pricing and maybe add a completely new section dedicated to a platform that you currently support. This section could be underneath the features section. Similarly, Responsive Feature is available on all the plans so that can be removed as well. The simpler the pricing the better. .– Remove the trial section from the pricing and add subtitle text where you currently have “We have plans for everyone”. — A sample ordering of the feature list inside your pricing should be something like this: Notifications, Websites, Support, SocialN Branding. — Try changing the label text on Pro Plan to “Popular” instead of “Best”. Who we are Section — The section to be very small. Maybe you should try adding more content. Contact us Section — the layout for the contact form is not really great. You can try making it more simpler. Footer — Why is the logo different in the footer? — Add all the links from the navbar to the footer as well — Social media icons on your website should be more prominent as your product revolves around it. Try adding a live chat to the website to communicate with your visitors. If you want Landing Page feedback for your website too.
