You have any feedback for this upcoming new-website-version? E.g. about the new title ("Create a ...") and other above-the-fold things? Here: https://tyws-maybe-www.netlify.app (temp address)

What would you say the website is about, in your own words? What don't you like?

(Maybe I shouldn't tell you here at Reddit what it is about — it's better if that's a secret, and you get to try to figure it out yourselves? So we'll notice if the website explains it well enough.)

And, any thoughts about the pricing? (Click "Pricing".) Is it too expensive or inexpensive, or just plain hard to understand?

(The topmost links, on the very 1st row, don't work)

Hi Nick, I personally like this: "We find you great employees outside the US who cost 70% less" — it says pretty clearly what you do.

What I think then, is: How do you verify that the people you find are any good?

And I also think: Why wouldn't I post a job on Upwork or elsewhere instead?

A bit further down in the FAQ I see that you (partly) answer this. To me, it'd been nice if this somehow was more prominent. I might not have scrolled down and scanned the FAQ, were it not for you asking for feedback. (But maybe that's just me.)

"How do you assess the candidates you represent?
We vet and screen all our candidates for English fluency, skills and professional work experience. [...] video interviews, paid assessment tools and our own in-house tests"

That's interesting. I would want to have a look at your in-house tests, maybe do one or a few of them myself, and get to know what paid assessment tools you use.

The 3 topmost images (white people in suites) look off-topic if you're recruiting in the Philippines and Latin America? (The website says: "Culture fit: The Philippines and Latin America are [...]") The people look a bit, hmm, maybe arrogant? The last one seems to fake-smile just for the photo (or maybe all three of them).

But the "Featured talent" images look more real & friendly & on-topic (to me).

Overall, I think it looks promising!

> My goal is to create new FAQs

Do you mean making the current FAQ longer? It's almost a bit long already, maybe sub titles inside the FAQ could be helpful. E.g. "Payments & Legal", and "How we recruit & assess".

If you have time, do you have any thoughts about the price plans for my project? I asked about feedback here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Entrepreneur/comments/1813x20/secret_website_feedback_pricing_feedback/

A collaborative make-projects-happen-together website sounds interesting, if it was good at finding people with the right skills.

Now, you write "Project Management" together — that, though, sounds odd. Is there a need for many project managers? I'd think they would pull the project in different directions, and there'd be disagreement and hurt feelings. And only managers won't get much done? Where are the people who will actually make the projects happen for real?

If I started a project, I would not want other _managers_ to join. They'd just pull it in other directions, make it derail? But having coders, designers, etc, join, could be interesting.

But further down you also write "A place to find exciting opportunities or collaborators ..." — maybe those collaborators aren't project managers, they can instead be freelancers or volunteers?

I wonder, what's the point with AI generated projects? It seems to me that such projects would not be related to the real world. Does the AI generated stuff serve as a starting point and one is supposed to edit it, so it ends up being the project one actually had in mind? — This is not clear to me, from the description.
