       | I found the copy clunky and complicated. Too many words. Long
       | sentences. Too many commas and brackets.

       | I'm not a professional writer.

         | I'm not a professional copywriter either but I think pleasing
         | colors and fonts should also be contenders for writing a good
         | "readable" sales copy.

           | Wild colors, mixed up fonts, and bored layout are all non-

       | 
       | I think you're trying to emphasize, and I understand your choice.
       | So applying on yourself:
       | 
       | Your headline is a big promise that hints _here is something you
       | want_

       | So many words for such a simple concept.

       | The following link (a twitter thread) was posted on HN some time
       | ago and covers the same territory i.e landing page tips. I think
       | the twitter thread is a bit better. The tips are simple and
       | direct, and include before-and-after examples:
       | 
       | " _I 've rewritten 300+ websites for startups from pre-seed to
       | unicorn. Here are my top learnings_"
