I read people's replies under new startup launches. Two stuck with me.
"Why is it so hard to understand what it is? Checked the website, no idea."
"Why make a video with zero substance? A quick demo would have been better."
That's a painful way to spend a launch. Everyone shows up and nobody gets it.
The fix is boring. The first line on your homepage says what it does and who it's for. Plain words, no slogan.
Then show the product. A screenshot or a short clip, right under that line.
Same for the launch video. Product on screen in the first few seconds.
What does the first line on your homepage say right now?

Really nice one, Max!
You can recognise a studio by its work. What about its website?
That was the starting point for Common Ground, our new Framer template for creative studios. We built it around a timeline of projects, with an editorial layout that gives each one its own space. Add your work, and the website starts to feel like your studio.
timeline of projects is a fun layout
Excited to share that I’m now a verified Framer Expert on Contra!
I’ve been designing and building websites since 2020, and Framer has become one of my favourite tools for creating fast, modern sites that clients can easily manage on their own. With 40+ Framer projects delivered so far, this recognition means a lot.
Thank you to the Contra and Framer communities for the support. I’m currently available for new Framer projects, from landing pages and portfolios to complete business websites. Feel free to reach out.
Congratulations!!... A quick question: how did you get it? I already have it in the Framer community, but I don’t know how to get it to show up here on my profile. Help!!
