Ask HN: Critique my landing page (https://www.gauthify.com)

1 points by Goopplesoft 13y ago ↗ HN

I want to know if my landing page conveys what the product does to be ready for when I post on show hn and other places. Please check it out here: https://www.gauthify.com

Description (please visit after viewing site): GAuthify is a web app/api that allows you to easily add Google Authenticator, SMS, and Email two-factor authentication. Google Authenticator works on iPhone, Blackberry, Android and more using time based one time passwords. The email and SMS otp are single use codes that expire after their initial usage. I have provided the ruby, php and python libraries already to get started in very few lines of code.

How much of that description did you already know from seeing the landing page?

Clean, if generic, layout.

About the headline: I think it's too long. I suggest summing it up so it's more catchy. Don't make me go through a list of features on the headline. The blinking thing seems a bit distracting as well.

Congratulations for your effort, don't take the terseness of this feedback the wrong way.

+1 I agree to this, the headline should summarize the product in max 5 words. Also, it should be nothing fancy (i mean the blinking text). Simple. Fast. Concise. That's it.

BTW good effort. Keep it up.

Thanks! Any ideas on the title? I thought it was wordy but I wanted to make sure that the 3 mechanisms (Google Authenticator, SMS, & Email) should be mentioned, especially Google Authenticator.

Alright Ill remove the blinking soon

Thanks for the thoughts.

Any idea on that title? I thought it was a bit wordy myself but I wanted to customers to immediately know what the 3 channels are (especially the Google Authenticator).

Not really a critique, but you could maybe add a 30second video describing your product, or do some image MVT testing?

Nice and clean though :)

I haven't really publicized it yet (low traffic), so I can't do a/b testing or anything like that yet. I'm still looking/reading into how I should go about launching the site.
