Landing Update

I’m always unsure whether the landing page I’ve created will convert or convey the message I want it to convey. This is not easy. Anyway, I looked over the landing in the morning and I put myself in the potential user’s feet to see if it answers the few quick questions I might have:

1. What is this?

I think the hero does a decent job here with the tag line and the main illustration to quickly tell me that this is a UX platform and allows me to do things like Stakeholder Interview, User Interview, Synthesis, Sitemaps etc.

2. Why do I need this?

I didn’t think this was clear enough. So I spent some time coming up with illustrations and copy to reflect why. The result is now part of the UserBit Beta landing page.

Sitemap Hooks

I realized that I hadn’t finished the sitemap functionalities. I needed to create rules about how many sitemaps to allow for which tier and logic for handling limit-reached errors. Moreover, I also needed to add hooks for notification so changes to sitemaps would show up on project activity.

Welcome Email

I also spent some time improving Beta welcome email to make it more informative about the Beta program.

Spent more time understanding and refining the ad campaign. It is now enabled. And we got our first sign up last night! What excited me most about it is that it wasn’t a bounce. App engagement was high and it gives me hope that there’s something useful here.
