Hey everyone! For the past 4 months, I've been dedicated to building a learning portal called frontendarc.com, focused specifically on frontend system design. My goal is to help frontend engineers prepare for system design interviews with structured content that includes clear explanations and practical examples. I've invested a lot of time and effort into the site, but I'm at a point where I still don't have any paying customers. That's where I need your help! I'd love some honest feedback from fellow developers on a few things:
1. Is the site user-friendly from a learner's perspective?
2. Does the content seem valuable enough for you to pay?
3. What are your thoughts on the user experience, navigation, and clarity?
4. If you were preparing for frontend system design, what crucial content do you feel is missing?
5. I'm currently working on polishing the practice section, which is still in beta. Any suggestions?
6. Finally, I'd like advice on how to attract paying customers.
I'm also open to collaborating with anyone passionate about frontend/system design who wants to contribute quality content (and I'm willing to pay for it!). I really want this portal to be useful for developers, and I'll appreciate any feedback, whether positive or critical!

I’d suggest getting rid of the bouncing animations; they can be distracting and don’t add much to the user experience. A clean, straightforward design will keep users focused on the content. Just my two cents!
I noticed you have some interesting stats like a 4.9/5 average rating and over 1000 happy students. Just a thought—are those real testimonials or placeholder data? It might help to clarify what those ratings mean and who’s behind them. Potential customers love seeing real feedback!
Thanks for the reply! Those stats are just dummy data I added for initial traction—I'm still working on getting real customers onboard.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll remove those bouncing animations right away. Just did it, actually.
