    Is it obvious enough what my business does?

    MARKETING 
    Thanks all on the discussion regarding 1 or multiple price points. I agree that it needs testing and that I'll need to make sure it is targeted traffic too.

    MARKETING 
    Hey, appreciate the feedback. I've been a software engineer for over 20 years now so I know how the claims can sound but it's a lot more than just reporting on progress, though it is hard to explain in a way that appeals to non technical people and isn't overly wordy. I wanted a hard problem...

    Hey thanks for the detailed feedback. It's really interesting to me that your impressions are that it makes coding easier. I need to work on the messaging a bit I think. The software helps people (non-technical usually) understand their development teams better, offers suggestions for...

    Good point, thanks. I just added those as some of my early feedback was to add a features/screenshots page but totally appreciate they need to be much clearer.

    Love the headline suggestion, thanks a lot for that. I had changed the main headline to highlight the direct benefit of cutting development costs but originally I had something a bit more like what you've suggested. I haven't enough traffic right now to A/B test the options but your suggestion...

    Is it obvious enough what my business does?

    MARKETING 
    ...and who it is for? I've made several iterations to the landing page and so far no signups. I'm wondering if the message isn't clear enough. Initial feedback was to focus on the benefits and who the service caters to, which I have added but I can't get people over that initial barrier of...

    33y.o. CIO of a 60M€/year firm, milking that corporate cow and wanting to create my side startup

    INTRO 
    Welcome! Former CTO here so I know where you're coming from. It's difficult when you're senior management because you can see all the riches the owners enjoy - you're so close. And it feels close to achieve too. I suppose actually it's a good motivator if you have the right mindset. Are you...

    Thanks guys for the extra feedback. Definitely agree with Ayanle about that worry about deciding when is the right time to determine if a business will succeed or needs more effort, I have had that a lot over the past few years. And Brander, yes, recently I have been coming up with a few much...

    I've seen a lot of this kind of advice before. I think he means simply to take a successful business that is obviously earning money and then copy what they do to take a slice of the pie. Not a big fan of that idea myself. If you're going after a successful niche I think you need to add...

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I agree it is relatively simple to miss why a specific business is failing. I've seen all sorts of failures with my businesses. The question is more about why I (as in me personally) am failing consistently with my businesses. There is an issue with the process I undertake when deciding on...

    Love that post and really did take it to heart. Thanks @AgainstAllOdds for taking the time to break it down like that. It's so useful because it can be difficult to see when you are so close to all of those decisions but getting an unbiased view is exactly what I wanted and needed from this...

    Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The coffee shop for example the market pretty much proved it was a bad idea by not coming in the door! I talk to my customers of the software business and they tell me what they like and dislike about the product which is invaluable. But a lot of the old...
