My Bootstrapped startup webapp would like beta testers and feedback
My first attempt at a startup could use some beta testers - http://padseeker.com/accounts/new
Would love feedback from fellow hacker news members. Long story short padseeker is like weebly for real estate. It's mainly residential rental properties. It still needs work but I would love to hear from fellow developers what you think. Please make the feedback honest, and if necessary brutal.
Published in 2012, this chronicle by @padseeker details the mechanics of building a profitable, self-funded business without venture backing.
The community focused on B2B customer acquisition channels, cold email vs SEO distribution, and balancing full-time employment with side-project development.
It could use design work. Pay a student at the local university or college because even their basic work will help out the landing page you linked me to. It looks kinda fly-by-night right now. I'd even prefer the Twitter Bootstrap over it. :-/
Download a template from Themeforest and use that instead of what you have now. Also, you need to describe what is the website about. Add some Header text.
Yeah fix up the look first; grab a template somewhere and modify it from there.
the logo is really bad. better to just write in a normal font than to do this.
A short blurb explaining what the website does wouldn't hurt.
That's fair, I would agree - the landing page is lacking. I did use Bootstrap for the dashboard, but I've neglected the landing page. I may have to consider that.
I noticed you picked some of the earlier templates I developed, I either need to improve them or push them out. I really do appreciate the feedback. Thanks for giving it a shot, I will definitely work on the landing page.
