|
| I'm attached to the Web being browsable without running
| random/untrusted/non-free 3rd party code written in a Turing
| complete language.
|
| I'm likely not the target to this: I will write my own HTML.

| don't have the skills to write their website by hand. I can't
| recommend this because I'm not sure it will produce websites
| respecting the long forgotten [1] graceful degradation /
| progressive enhancement principles, since the home page of the
| tool does not respect them. (I won't expect the app itself to
| work without JS, it's fine, it's an app (vs a document)).
|
| Good luck with your project!
|
| [1] Yes, it depresses me to think I'm going to die on this hill
| alone or with few people, it seems like the web has gone off from
| graceful degradation and requires a VM to be read now and we are
| not really going back from this.

|
| Overall the website doesn't look good on desktop. I look at this:
| https://imgur.com/3SoPR67 and think that some elements have
| failed to load. It's so empty and white. The "learn more" button
| is completely unnecessary. You could just put the information
| there in the first place.
|
| Overall much of the landing page feels like unnecessary filler,
| pro forma rather filling an actual function. Like it's almost all
| fluff that doesn't really tell me anything and I'm just wearing
| out the scroll wheel on my mouse before getting to the free trial
| so I can check out what the heck it is.
|
| I'm also immediately assaulted by multiple popups, one of which
| keeps animating and making noises. That's a big turnoff. I don't
| want to talk to a sales rep before I even know what I'm being
| sold.
|
| Like none of this is a major flaw, it needs polish and iteration.
|
| I'd make some use cases, consider some user categories (maybe
| someone who has heard of the product and want to try it, someone
| who doesn't know what it is, etc.), and consider what would such
| a person ask when they visit your website, and then investigate
| if the website answers the questions.
|
| The first question I asked is "what is this?". The answer I got
| is "It manages the entire cycle of Building, Hosting and Serving
| websites," which is pretty vague. Maybe prominently display some
| demo websites that have been built using getlivewebsite.com? I
| think that would sell a lot better than merely talking about the
| service and its features.
|
| On a technical level, you've got some z-index issues on Firefox.
