This could just be my opinion, but you're selling custom design and using Courier New as your type - that's not very convincing. After browsing your other pages I was convinced you could design, but I would not have guessed that from this landing page.

So many comments from people who clearly did not even read your page! The subtitle states "I'll WRITE, design, and code a custom page...", and the very first paragraph describing your offer states: "I'm an expert COPYWRITER and designer, and I want to help you...". Don't let the ADHD crowd get you down. Beautifully done.
An expert copywriter would know he has to optimize for the "ADHD crowd" (which is about 80% of people on the internet), for example by mentioning he provides copy in at least one of the subheads, instead of keeping his head in the sand like you suggest.

I repeat:

Where did I suggest that? So many dramaz. Jeez.

#43Sorry to say but everything about this website feels cheap and generic to me: from the font to the use of huge font-awesome icons, to the texture in the background; to me this page looks like it's from 2012. "Sound too good to be true? I wrote and designed this very landing page you're reading in 1 day." Yeah, I can tell. It's impossible to create a design that will stand on its own in a day, if only for the fact tha…
I see what you mean - although given my poor landing page design skills pretty much anything looks good to me. Can you give an example of a decent landing page?
Check out land-book (http://land-book.com/).
I honestly think products like OP's (original OP...) degrade design as a profession. It takes much more time than a day and much more than $1k to properly design a landing page. You not only need to understand the brand (or help build it in some cases) but the language and tone of the business (even in larger companies that have a tone already you still spend a considerable amount of time on this). You need to bring the essence of that product into an easily digestible 'frame'.
The design of OP's site tells me that they think design is something that can be done hastily and with very little information.

#45I'm still seeing the old design: http://productpeople.club/
To be honest I kind of like the old design better than the new one.

#46$1000 is a huge amount of money for what looks like a very basic landing page. In my opinion it would be better to just shell out $150 for the designmodo's startup framework, http://designmodo.com/startup/ and spend an afternoon tailoring it to your needs.
$1000 is a large amount of money to pay for a zip file with some HTML and assets in it. However, it's a heckuva bargain to get a really competent and well performing landing page for that amount.
This isn't entirely abstract either, most the sites that would hire out something like this would make that money back in a couple days if he was able to bump conversions up even slightly.

#47UI programming is different from UX design. If it is just programming 1000$ is too much, there are lot of other alternative options. If it is UX design I think lot more effort involved than you are assuming.

#48isn't 1k too steep? With weebly and other similar apps, its much easier for non developers. For developers bootstrap themes are on a rise?

#49Earlier quoted context omitted.
I wouldn't have an issue paying $1,000 for a landing page, but I do have an issue paying $1,000 for a landing page where the developer only devotes a single day to learning about my business, understanding the problems we're solving, writing copy, designing, and coding. I'm looking at the before and after example, and there are just a few words changed, previous headlines enlarged and colored, and a call to action at…
Assuming a day means 8 hours, that's only 125/hr, which is right in line with what many contractors make already. Hardly premium.
Assuming yours is the only page he is working on. He really might have dozens of projects going at the same time.

#50There's something incredibly meta about this that I love.
This does seem useful though. I've probably underestimated the impact a landing page can have on idea validation and conversions.
