To me this looks like a template page that I've seen 1000 times before.
I agree, but I don't see that as a negative. It's a "SaaS" page with all the right buttons in the all the right places. It looks legit and I know how to navigate it.

#12Okay I'll bite.
Some details as to how it integrates into a site would be nice. Show me some code snippets! Also, and this is tangential: how do stats get collected if a visitor browses with JS disabled?
Also your logo[0] looks very similar to IceDrive's[1] logo. Links below for comparison.

Honestly, I wish more people would make carbon copies - we care about the product being described, not your graphic design chops. If there is a design that just works, and you just use it -- great!

#16Is "affordable" really the differentiator you want to be going for? Cheap customers are the absolute worst. Your pricing seems to imply it's a one-off payment of $11 btw
What this person said - the single biggest, clearest message that you're sending with this is that your product is CHEAP. Cheap is fine, but I'd recommend leading with the actual value that your product can produce for customers. Cheap can come at the end, when they're making a decision between your product and another one. Also, analytics is plural, so your major headline should be "...analytics that are..."
Also agree with the "affordable" highlighting, adding that the large zigzag underline jarred my parsing of the rest of the sentence. As for "analytics" I can see treating it as a group like mathematics so singular can also be ok. In these cases I search "x is" and "x are" and see what has higher count.
The only new thing I'll mention is the middle pricing should be called something default and innocuous like "Standard" rather than "Commercial" that sounds like more than I should need.

Re: Ask HN: Roast My Landing Page
#19(On Desktop Firefox, 1280x800) Your front page loads fast (like, lightning fast), looks like a "real" SaaS and doesn't go overboard with dumb shit like animations. I immediately realise what your product is and does without needing to interact with the page in any sense. In short, the page itself is really good. The only thing that jumps out is that there's maybe too much top padding on each section (set your resolut…
Haha that was not expected. Appreciate the feedback!
