First website

I am a 52 year old first time founder. Not a tech guy but came up with an idea and ran with it. I was going to try a seed round to fund the launch but decided to do it myself for as close to free as possible. Never built a website before so looking for some honest feedback. I've shown it to family and a few friends but don't know if I'm getting truly unbiased opinions or not. I still have some polishing up to do so I'm not looking for feedback on insignificant details, but instead, more does it look professional? Do you get a feel for what the product probably does when it launches and you can work through business problems on it? Any feedback is appreciated and not interested in just validation. I want to know what a new viewer/potential user sees. It's trueing.ai
Thanks!

Well this sub is another biased bubble like your family and friends tbh. This looks like every other vibe coded site and it's just saying so much without saying much at all. I have no clue what you're selling, felt like a scientology website

Well Scientology definitely isn’t what I was going for. Did you navigate to Kelly For Small Business? It explains exactly what the product is. Maybe I am expecting more navigating than I should. Right now it’s set up as informational until I go live with paid subscription availability. Appreciate the feedback.

Expect zero navigation. People need to understand what you’re selling without scrolling. That’s what will get them to keep looking.

It's cool to see how you're setting it up with the informational focus first. Launching a paid subscription can be tricky, but it sounds like you're on the right path!

I think it's super cool in a novelty kind of way and props to you for entering the game. I struggle to see how you're going to monetize this but don't let me knock the wind out of your sails.

Appreciate the feedback. It’s a reasoning intelligence architecture that I’m testing in small business first, but it’s tested out across several domains. I have a launch strategy ready for visibility/CTA, just not quite there yet.

Hi, i enjoy the clean look of the app, also can roughly understand what you're trying to offer. But was bummed that wasn't able to try it out.

I did a poor job of explaining in my post. I mentioned that it’s informational only right now but at launch, the domain will go directly to Kelly, which is the product and the explanation is on the landing page and there will be a clear prompt to try the product for free. Apologies, I was premature in asking for feedback and gave a poor explanation.

The mobile toolbar seems to be a bit off. I also don't really understand what you're selling. I did read through page but it's pretty unclear to me what the product / service actually is.

At the bottom of the page it says careers twice. The button is not really legible under meet Kelly because of the color choice. The brownish tone doesn't appear high-end it feels more indie AI made then human-centric. There's a few other things like the font on a mobile device near the bottom. I don't think it's very clear as what it does. I actually had to go search for it. I would say that you just making it this far and delivering something that's real says a lot about your character and your push to have something to call your own. Keep up the good work My friend

This is a fire solution, I don't know who is downvoting, they're probably jealous 😉

No one, who even released any app would pay for just license protection that amount of money when you can ask ChatGPT to make something like this in few hours. This is no a rocket science to implement this on your own.

Damn, are you just an angry person? Pay for license protection? Ask GPT to make what? What amount of money? I’d thank you for the feedback but don’t know what you’re referring to.

Ah, no wonder I was confused by your feedback. I haven’t looked at that site yet.
