Article in a nutshell:
Avoid getting ripped off by requiring upfront payment
Charge a rush fee for “I need this yesterday” requests
Upsell services by giving spectrum quotes
Filter our pathological customers by increasing your hourly rates
That's actually great, it's how every other visitor would behave too. I worry if we gave it its own section it'd be too much. Don't know, I'll keep it in mind for an A/B test in the future :)
There's the section "How come it's free" (initially titled "What's the catch"). Maybe it's not visible enough when people scan the page?
True, people skim and everything looks the same. I was thinking more like this: when you're looking for a time tracker, it's nice to know what it looks like but there are other more important things. Honestly, we don't compete on visuals but on price and simplicity. More images means less attention on text. I just want to make sure the right message comes across no matter how lazy the visitor is. :)
Yeah, I was thinking the same, but I'm afraid it'd be a bit overwhelming. We plan a Features page with a lot of screenshots and USP highlighting :)
My designer friend is developing a tool for this called evrybo.com. It's free forever and it's really handy
I've been using Scribus for quite some time. Anything you can do in InDesign, you can do in Scribus. It just takes a day or two to learn how to use it. Youtube tutorials help a lot.
It is, but it's not as readable, which is the ultimate goal.
The page has been online for just a few days now, so there are no reliable numbers yet. We will see how it performs and do some A/B tests in the future. We'll write about the experience once we have some real data.

Figma is seriously good, especially if you're used to working in Sketch but don't use Mac anymore
