I hate my landing page. - Terrible headline - Mediocre Copy - No Video Demo - No Social Proof But I focus on improving my marketing for 30 days and today I got a sale that validated my strategy.

Every part of the site tells a story. Feedback should reflect how each element - text, imagery, layout - supports the overall narrative. What I'm trying to perfect in giving feedback is "What's the story here?"
