Looks great, beautiful landing page and it looks like a labor of love!

- Most of the page titles are the (same)[1] which doesn't seem good for SEO. Each of the pages like "Pricing" or "Compress Your Video Files" should be differently named.

- The "video compressor" tool would be much more useful if you could enter a target file size. This is a frequent use case, if you want to send a video over email or social media apps like Messenger with a file size limit. The only way I've been able to do that for myself is basically encode it repeatedly with ffmpeg at various quality settings until the file size is just small enough, but you could probably automate that with something more intelligent like a good guess and a binary search. I'm sure someone's made a library to do that already though.

- It needs a whole bunch of features related to subtitles, like making a subtitled GIF from a video file with subtitles.

- Maybe risky to include copyrighted work like the Spider-Verse movie in the demo video? Unless you really did rip it legally from a Blu-ray.

- There are random grammar mistakes and capitalization issues throughout the site, nothing major but worth a pass by a native English speaker. "What kinda files Pimosa supports?" and "Every files gets processed on your device only" as some examples. Might give some people pause.

- Could be worth to have a more prominent "Download" box at the top section that automatically detects your OS. Most landing pages have that so I assume it works.

> beautiful landing page

I disagree. Any page that sports a big "buy now" button without even scrolling but has at that point not even shown me a single screenshot will have a hard time catching my attention. I didn't look further.


Conversely, any page that makes me hunt around for the price loses me. You really can't please everyone.


It’s pretty much textbook to have a primary CTA above the fold on a landing page like this.

Would love to see examples of nice landing pages that _don’t_ do this and also aren’t big enough companies that you’ve already heard of them (10b plus companies may not need to do this as they’ve earned the scroll in brand recognition and likely have more than one product line).

Can I get a discount if I copy edit your site and docs for you? :) But, yea, agree that the typos give pause.

And make it more clear what downloading gets you. Is it a trial? Or just a version of the app that doesn’t save?

Reading through the site and docs, I get the impression you’ve spent more time getting license keys to work than anything else. Certainly at least in the way of docs.

Congrats on the first release.


Does SEO really matter still? I have seen a few videos that show how the SEO algorithm works a few months ago, at least googles, and you basically can't optimize in that regard.


The app developer showing his desktop app here is also a part of SEO, so it always matters.


For search engines, not so much. But it helps for linking to pages on social media.


SEO very much does count. And on site optimisation is the easiest return on investment as it's generally not a lot of work. few hours of work can bring you tons of clients.
