Launched my website in 20 minutes: Ugly but effective!

Hey fellow indie hackers!

I decided to follow the advice of the founder of LinkedIn:

"If you don't mind the 1st version of your product, you launched it too late."

So, in 20 minutes, I created my new product website without worrying about design or copywriting.

And guess what? It worked!

In less than 24 hours, I had 10 early access requests.

I didn't think it was possible with a landing page like that, I'm pleasantly surprised.

Usually, I spend hours on design and copywriting.

I already spent 1 hour choosing which border-radius and which color was the most optimized for my button. 😅

In hindsight, it was a useless waste of time and it didn't bring me a client.

So now I'm going to be less of a perfectionist and let things go that I don't usually tolerate.

Take a look at getslize.com (watch out it's ugly)

What do you think of this quick and dirty launch strategy?

Let's discuss!

[Edit]

I modified my landing page, it is even simpler now.

    Hello, good job! Congrats!
    My main question: "what you did to send traffic for the page? Pay Ads? Where?"
    Thanks and good luck!

    I spend much more time to build a landing page which probably achieves pretty much as yours. Great choice!

      Thanks.

      I finally modified my landing page I reduced it even simpler. In 5 mins. 😅

    The correct way to test for idea viability is often the ugliest and quickest. Good job my dude.

    This is a masterclass in being lean! Great job avoiding the temptation of making it perfect :)

    I love the strategy!

      Ahah thank you, it was complicated for me.

      But in the end, it's just a matter of ego.
