Want your opinion about website of my startup

Hello guys! Want you to share the opinion about the website of my startup. I am developing solvers of optimal strategies for poker (GTO Solvers): https://simplepoker.com/en/ . The design was made 4 years ago, do you think that it doesn't look modern and should be updated? thanks for your opinion!



Website still looks fresh and modern, you have up-to-date copyright and user testimonianal and mention newest operating system (Windows 10). All good in my opinion.

The website doesn't answer the question who the author is. On the purchase page I can spent 290 Euro and it doesn't tell me who the contract is with, just a info@website.com email address. Deep down in the terms-of-service Bath, England is mentioned, but clicking to the terms-of-service and the website turns into Russian in my browser. Your current customers might be fine with this, to me it's a reason to keep my credit card in my pocket.

Using 'hello guys' you're missing 50% of the world's population.


There’s room for improvement. I’d start with the typography. While it’s not cheap, Typewolf’s Flawless Typography Checklist is an incredible tool for sprucing up designs (https://www.typewolf.com/checklist). Once you’ve refreshed the typography, take a look at these design tips from Steve Schoger (https://twitter.com/i/events/994601867987619840). His book, Refactoring UI is also a solid reference.


I do know a bit about poker. Your site looks really cool - if you can actually provide what you're saying, that's pretty awesome!

There's probably a bug in your site -> "Fedor Lorem..." - it says ">1kk" - what do you mean by that?

Anyway, if you're dealing with someone knowledgeable about poker, you should be fine.

Having said the above, I'm almost 100% PS doesn't allow it. Not sure about other sites (I assume you would be offering it live, as the user plays).


I think you need an update


Can you elaborate? I see your account is 15 minutes old and all 4 comments so far are incomplete or don't fit the questions. Comments should be substantial to the discussion.


I'm a rookie. The author of the post asked for an opinion on his website. I think he needs an update. Now there are many similar sites. The design of these sites is cooler.
