That’s a lot of text for a landing page targeting people with ADHD.
After a quick skim of it, I still don’t know why shimmer is any different than any other e-therapy service.
Edit: just noticed you mentioned the stream lining of your site in your also very-long-post. The sign up is a type form. Why? That’s actually another barrier to signing up, and it feels weird being “off site”.
Thank you—we have received this feedback a few times, and will definitely be decreasing the size and amount of text on our homepage. With 2 FTE (me and my co-founder & CTO Vikram), we haven't gotten around to it yet (but it's high on our list!). I think right now the website reflects a bit of my writing/speaking style, which is a bit of "oversharer" but working on changing that.
The biggest difference between Shimmer & e-therapy is that we offer Coaching. Coaching is a partnership for action—for goal-oriented action. You partner with your coach and make changes in your life to reach those goals: e.g. you may be perfecting your morning routine or working on your habits for work-from-home, whatever it may be. For e-therapy, or therapy, it's more about unpacking past to present, talking, processing, etc.
Lastly, for Typeform, we are also working on moving off of it, bad reason but also because we are a lean team and test each part of our flow first (with 3rd party services) and have slowly been migrating to build in house for parts most important. Right now many of our priority features are focused on member experience with coaching for building in-house.
