The landing page feels tacky to me. It has a similar style to what I’ve seen LLMs churn out across the internet. Unclear if it’s actually generated or not but it’s at least in that style.

For a design product, I’d expect it to have more personality.

I’d recommend reving the landing by hand. The sense I get is that this tool can make a site that looks like everyone else’s. It would be neat to see something unique.

This was my biggest take, when I see someone selling a design tool that’s looks very much like designed by LLM, that’s a red flag. I got the exact same vibe, no idea whether it was a prompt or a detailed design, but right now it looks like output of a prompt and not hand crafted.

Given the whole idea is selling a design tool that’s looks very gives user a sense of they can control details, this page doesn’t deliver that at all. I’d focus on the design, because that’s the biggest demo of your product maybe even bigger than the demo.

Imagine a unique website that users looks and feel like I wish this was my website. A rare instance visual design actually matters for a startup :)

I think it's a good point. I'm going to spend a bit more time on the design - and if sales continue well then I can look at getting a designer.

I suspect its the color scheme? I wanted something to contrast with but pair with https://motion.dev but I know AIs pump out a lot of purple. I'm mostly a developer though so my design skills are a little rusty still!

A big smell and my biggest pet peeve with them is the excessive, custom javascript animations that don't respect my settings to disable animations and which break through my own extra defenses, all tucked away in some webpack chunk I'd have to debug to get rid of. As soon as I see above-the-fold text fade and slide in I close the tab to spare my head, stomach, and CPU.

Motion page looks much better, but other than purple I’d focus on design more, even to suggest hire a designer on project basis, let them make a stunning landing page. If you are selling a design tool (arguably CSS is somewhere in between) then you have to show your mastery of the domain. —assuming you are serious and it’s not a weekend project
