And then Anne again really excited for you to join and you know, we have a bunch of work that we want to do on the website. Not only like new pages, but
9 00:03:44.950 ⇒ 00:03:53.759 Uttam Kumaran: there’s a whole host of content that we’re gonna start creating so I’m really, really glad. I think today, the main thing I wanted to kind of talk about was
10 00:03:53.850 ⇒ 00:04:03.709 Uttam Kumaran: just the roadmap for like this month, and then also kind of little bit. Talk about the roadmap for the rest of the quarter and then I also want to just spend some time and
11 00:04:03.730 ⇒ 00:04:05.316 Uttam Kumaran: discuss with
12 00:04:06.250 ⇒ 00:04:08.009 Uttam Kumaran: with you guys just about like.
13 00:04:08.250 ⇒ 00:04:12.844 Uttam Kumaran: kind of like, what we want to try to, what the goal is for the whole site. And
14 00:04:13.370 ⇒ 00:04:18.439 Uttam Kumaran: you know, kind of like talking about competitors and things that we want to do to stand out
15 00:04:18.600 ⇒ 00:04:19.860 Uttam Kumaran: on our side.
16 00:04:20.279 ⇒ 00:04:23.789 Uttam Kumaran: Does that make sense? Are there any questions before we
17 00:04:24.945 ⇒ 00:04:26.610 Uttam Kumaran: like get started?
18 00:04:27.360 ⇒ 00:04:28.539 Jaypee Arriola: Nope! All good.
19 00:04:28.890 ⇒ 00:04:29.620 Jaypee Arriola: Oh.
20 00:04:30.880 ⇒ 00:04:40.910 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool. So I guess I’m gonna pull up. The website notion on my side. Let me just grab that
21 00:04:48.970 ⇒ 00:04:49.890 Uttam Kumaran: cool.
22 00:04:50.900 ⇒ 00:05:01.739 Uttam Kumaran: So no, we’ve mainly been working from this page. I think it’s been good so far. But also I think there’s a lot of improvements we can do. The one thing I’m gonna say is like
23 00:05:01.810 ⇒ 00:05:24.720 Uttam Kumaran: for Jp. And Ann, this is going to be like the homepage for our website project. So I want this page to kind of begin to work for us in some ways. So I know I’ve started to put links and things like that. But anytime we’re we’re working through multiple links and the roadmap. I want this to kind of be the homepage for this project right now. Of course, we just have some links and
24 00:05:25.112 ⇒ 00:05:29.807 Uttam Kumaran: some notes here, but we’ll continue to make this a little bit bigger, I think.
25 00:05:30.540 ⇒ 00:05:32.897 Uttam Kumaran: to kind of start right now.
26 00:05:33.450 ⇒ 00:05:36.009 Uttam Kumaran: the things that we’ve been. Let me just
27 00:05:38.620 ⇒ 00:05:39.790 Uttam Kumaran: scan this.
28 00:05:39.940 ⇒ 00:05:40.740 Uttam Kumaran: So
29 00:05:40.960 ⇒ 00:05:46.899 Uttam Kumaran: we’ve been kind of working through. And Jp. Primarily has been working on a lot of the pages so far, I think
30 00:05:47.070 ⇒ 00:05:58.169 Uttam Kumaran: there’s a couple of things that are in review that we want to confirm. There’s some things that still need content. And then there’s a couple of pages that I want to pick out today to kind of plan.
31 00:05:59.640 ⇒ 00:06:07.689 Uttam Kumaran: So the 1st thing is for the blog post. So Jp. We tested out the Beehive blog post
32 00:06:08.467 ⇒ 00:06:10.110 Uttam Kumaran: last week, and
33 00:06:10.410 ⇒ 00:06:14.760 Uttam Kumaran: at at the moment, where does that land on the is it on the staging site.
34 00:06:17.203 ⇒ 00:06:21.389 Jaypee Arriola: Currently the the zap is set up
35 00:06:21.680 ⇒ 00:06:24.300 Jaypee Arriola: to just sort of automatically.
36 00:06:24.874 ⇒ 00:06:27.419 Jaypee Arriola: Create an entry on the Cms.
37 00:06:27.540 ⇒ 00:06:32.590 Jaypee Arriola: But put it as a draft and not automatically publish it.
38 00:06:33.290 ⇒ 00:06:39.399 Jaypee Arriola: because the the sort of information is not complete.
39 00:06:39.530 ⇒ 00:06:47.850 Jaypee Arriola: That the information taken from beehive is not is not complete to create a complete sort of blog post for the web flow.
40 00:06:48.300 ⇒ 00:06:53.349 Jaypee Arriola: So I set it up as a draft so that you can manually
41 00:06:53.960 ⇒ 00:06:57.639 Jaypee Arriola: retouch the the post before actually publishing it.
42 00:06:58.690 ⇒ 00:07:10.910 Uttam Kumaran: And then where on the where in the staging site, does it? Does it actually end up to give you and it to give you to kind of share. What I think I’m trying to say is.
43 00:07:12.100 ⇒ 00:07:13.759 Uttam Kumaran: If you go to
44 00:07:14.230 ⇒ 00:07:16.650 Uttam Kumaran: this is a staging site right now.
45 00:07:17.342 ⇒ 00:07:25.379 Uttam Kumaran: So right now, I’m at just a staging site. So we actually, I in beehive, I set up Blog Brainforge AI
46 00:07:25.856 ⇒ 00:07:29.320 Uttam Kumaran: and if you go to that, you’re gonna see this
47 00:07:29.450 ⇒ 00:07:38.159 Uttam Kumaran: right? So this is the beehive blog. But I also know we we designed our blog home page as well. Right? So I think we should probably use that instead of this.
48 00:07:38.880 ⇒ 00:07:42.750 Jaypee Arriola: That’s right. Yeah, we have a blog page created on web.
49 00:07:43.320 ⇒ 00:07:46.000 Uttam Kumaran: Where? Where is that? Is that paid on staging right now?
50 00:07:46.560 ⇒ 00:07:47.160 Nicolas Sucari: No.
51 00:07:48.560 ⇒ 00:07:52.599 Jaypee Arriola: It’s not on staging. We have a blog page template.
52 00:07:52.640 ⇒ 00:07:58.960 Jaypee Arriola: but every new entry will be saved as just a draft. So not published yet
53 00:07:59.180 ⇒ 00:08:01.319 Jaypee Arriola: it’s not going to show on the staging site.
54 00:08:02.350 ⇒ 00:08:03.650 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, you can. And then.
55 00:08:03.650 ⇒ 00:08:05.169 Jaypee Arriola: It through the Cms.
56 00:08:06.310 ⇒ 00:08:07.230 Nicolas Sucari: Tackle it. Yes.
57 00:08:07.230 ⇒ 00:08:10.799 Uttam Kumaran: So then, for for this this was the blog.
58 00:08:11.327 ⇒ 00:08:15.259 Uttam Kumaran: Page. This is the this is the design that you worked on.
59 00:08:15.790 ⇒ 00:08:16.500 Jaypee Arriola: That’s right.
60 00:08:17.110 ⇒ 00:08:20.169 Uttam Kumaran: So which art is this? Gonna just live at the slash blog row.
61 00:08:22.540 ⇒ 00:08:29.579 Nicolas Sucari: We we can decide that like we, we can. Yeah, we can decide any URL that you want to them. I mean.
62 00:08:29.907 ⇒ 00:08:44.050 Nicolas Sucari: we need. Just, we have a blog design on workflow. We need to publish that. I don’t know. Jp, if we need to change any of the design that is there on the draft, but once we publish that when we can then select any
63 00:08:44.100 ⇒ 00:08:50.859 Nicolas Sucari: URL we want like it, it should. It can live in brainforce, slash, blog, or anything else.
64 00:08:51.050 ⇒ 00:08:52.780 Nicolas Sucari: That’s something we can decide.
65 00:08:53.740 ⇒ 00:08:57.390 Jaypee Arriola: Yeah, currently, the link is just so you can see it on the staging site.
66 00:08:57.700 ⇒ 00:09:02.380 Jaypee Arriola: The link is slash our dash blocks
67 00:09:03.120 ⇒ 00:09:04.489 Jaypee Arriola: for the staging site.
68 00:09:05.580 ⇒ 00:09:06.439 Uttam Kumaran: It’s like this.
69 00:09:09.910 ⇒ 00:09:11.203 Nicolas Sucari: No wait
70 00:09:12.120 ⇒ 00:09:13.730 Jaypee Arriola: I sent the link on the chat.
71 00:09:13.730 ⇒ 00:09:16.939 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, our swashbug. Okay, okay, yeah.
72 00:09:19.270 ⇒ 00:09:21.340 Uttam Kumaran: I see, perfect. Okay.
73 00:09:21.950 ⇒ 00:09:22.790 Uttam Kumaran: yeah.
74 00:09:24.530 ⇒ 00:09:25.660 Uttam Kumaran: okay, great.
75 00:09:27.400 ⇒ 00:09:46.599 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool. So that makes sense. So I think 2 things. And then also, I guess today, I we can. I want to go through the site with all of us as well. And we can talk about like what’s going to go live this week? And we can do that when we talk about this template page. But okay, this makes sense. So I think, for this week on this side one
76 00:09:46.780 ⇒ 00:09:49.609 Uttam Kumaran: I want to confirm the 1st blog post.
77 00:09:49.710 ⇒ 00:09:51.500 Uttam Kumaran: Get it into beehive.
78 00:09:51.650 ⇒ 00:09:52.950 Uttam Kumaran: submit it.
79 00:09:52.960 ⇒ 00:09:57.879 Uttam Kumaran: and then we can make sure that it it comes up here properly. Is that the situation.
80 00:09:57.880 ⇒ 00:09:58.670 Nicolas Sucari: Thank you.
81 00:10:00.170 ⇒ 00:10:08.003 Nicolas Sucari: Yes, I think. Jb, do, how? How can we like? How can we do the integration between beehive and this like,
82 00:10:08.490 ⇒ 00:10:12.999 Nicolas Sucari: yeah. Cms collection, so that we can bring all of the new blog posts here.
83 00:10:13.630 ⇒ 00:10:16.110 Jaypee Arriola: The zap is already set up. I that’s the.
84 00:10:16.110 ⇒ 00:10:16.440 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
85 00:10:16.440 ⇒ 00:10:18.949 Jaypee Arriola: Thing I did last week.
86 00:10:19.190 ⇒ 00:10:20.050 Jaypee Arriola: So whatever you.
87 00:10:20.050 ⇒ 00:10:21.150 Nicolas Sucari: So you mean.
88 00:10:21.150 ⇒ 00:10:24.009 Jaypee Arriola: Or post on behalf, it should automatically be
89 00:10:24.483 ⇒ 00:10:25.350 Jaypee Arriola: that, and.
90 00:10:25.350 ⇒ 00:10:26.400 Nicolas Sucari: I can see.
91 00:10:26.400 ⇒ 00:10:28.009 Jaypee Arriola: Close the Ms.
92 00:10:28.010 ⇒ 00:10:33.209 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, but on workflow cms it will stay as a draft until someone goes in there and publish it right.
93 00:10:33.570 ⇒ 00:10:34.870 Jaypee Arriola: That’s right. That’s right.
94 00:10:35.080 ⇒ 00:10:56.089 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, okay, yeah, that’s perfect to them. We you need to create. Then if that’s up is working, we need to create the beehive blog post and then submit it, and then come into what? Into workflow and just publish the the one that we created. We need to clean everything here, and maybe we’ll need to clean all of these ones so that we can see only the one that we are creating on behave.
95 00:10:57.590 ⇒ 00:11:02.740 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. So maybe I’m just gonna try to carve out some time, maybe tomorrow, and we can just like
96 00:11:03.240 ⇒ 00:11:05.740 Uttam Kumaran: close this out, Nico. There’d be a new.
97 00:11:05.740 ⇒ 00:11:06.330 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
98 00:11:07.460 ⇒ 00:11:24.760 Nicolas Sucari: yeah. I mean, once we have that blog post it. It’s it’s pretty easy. We need just to clean everything up here. It’s just deleting the other blog post that we have there on on the Cms collection, and then just publish the one that we are gonna get from behave.
99 00:11:25.240 ⇒ 00:11:26.980 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. Okay. Great.
100 00:11:28.630 ⇒ 00:11:39.739 Nicolas Sucari: Maybe. Jp, if you want once we have that blog post ready to go in beehive, we can set up a meeting and do everything live, the 3 of us, so that we can have everything working just in case.
101 00:11:40.250 ⇒ 00:11:41.240 Jaypee Arriola: Especially yeah.

104 00:11:49.959 ⇒ 00:11:51.609 Uttam Kumaran: Let’s talk about
105 00:11:52.320 ⇒ 00:11:54.250 Uttam Kumaran: the pricing page.
106 00:11:56.940 ⇒ 00:12:00.619 Uttam Kumaran: So jp, that’s is that is that here, under pricing.

110 00:12:27.570 ⇒ 00:12:29.930 Uttam Kumaran: I think today, let’s also.
111 00:12:30.410 ⇒ 00:12:32.820 Uttam Kumaran: So that’s also in web flow, review.
112 00:12:33.576 ⇒ 00:12:35.760 Uttam Kumaran: Create the blog post.
113 00:12:36.690 ⇒ 00:12:38.440 Uttam Kumaran: I’m just gonna
114 00:12:39.770 ⇒ 00:12:40.530 Uttam Kumaran: so.
115 00:12:41.460 ⇒ 00:12:46.010 Nicolas Sucari: We need to add this one to the to the menu right.
116 00:12:46.720 ⇒ 00:12:50.320 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. So let’s so let’s just like, talk about this page
117 00:12:50.780 ⇒ 00:12:55.979 Uttam Kumaran: now. So I think a couple of things. One, yeah, it’d be great to add, pricing here.
118 00:12:57.194 ⇒ 00:12:59.049 Uttam Kumaran: Second, I think the
119 00:12:59.820 ⇒ 00:13:02.320 Uttam Kumaran: content and everything looks great.
120 00:13:02.500 ⇒ 00:13:05.029 Uttam Kumaran: Think the Faqs. And this is fine.
121 00:13:05.574 ⇒ 00:13:09.219 Uttam Kumaran: For this. Jp, you just need copy from us.
122 00:13:10.190 ⇒ 00:13:10.940 Jaypee Arriola: That’s right.
123 00:13:11.500 ⇒ 00:13:13.810 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, so we’ll take care of that as well.
124 00:13:15.840 ⇒ 00:13:18.308 Uttam Kumaran: do we want to keep this?
125 00:13:20.670 ⇒ 00:13:21.999 Uttam Kumaran: What do you think, Nico?
126 00:13:23.270 ⇒ 00:13:28.469 Nicolas Sucari: I mean, if if you if you go to the pricing page and you see the form
127 00:13:28.480 ⇒ 00:13:36.539 Nicolas Sucari: on the top and you click, submit, may. Probably you won’t scroll down anything like you’re seeing a lot of stuff because you’re using
128 00:13:36.620 ⇒ 00:13:38.150 Nicolas Sucari: a huge
129 00:13:38.490 ⇒ 00:13:40.480 Nicolas Sucari: right? A huge screen right with them.
130 00:13:40.480 ⇒ 00:13:41.389 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah.
131 00:13:41.390 ⇒ 00:13:42.419 Nicolas Sucari: Up to the top
132 00:13:42.830 ⇒ 00:13:47.090 Nicolas Sucari: like I in my screen, I am only seeing like the 1st
133 00:13:47.688 ⇒ 00:13:50.999 Nicolas Sucari: section, and I’m not seeing any of the Faqs.
134 00:13:51.110 ⇒ 00:14:02.900 Nicolas Sucari: So, okay, I don’t know if I don’t know if that’s needed. Like, we can delete that last section. If the Faqs are okay, we can leave them there. If someone scrolls down and they see it, and we can leave the call to action to book a 15 min call.
135 00:14:03.230 ⇒ 00:14:05.879 Nicolas Sucari: Be below that. We can delete everything. Yeah.
136 00:14:08.370 ⇒ 00:14:12.394 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, so a couple of things on this, I’m just gonna put
137 00:14:13.210 ⇒ 00:14:18.439 Uttam Kumaran: comments here so one can we? Are these all required fields? Jp.
138 00:14:20.480 ⇒ 00:14:21.990 Jaypee Arriola: Currently. Yes.
139 00:14:22.270 ⇒ 00:14:26.440 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, I think we can leave just
140 00:14:26.680 ⇒ 00:14:29.490 Uttam Kumaran: 1st name, last name email.
141 00:14:30.210 ⇒ 00:14:34.000 Uttam Kumaran: Cause I don’t. We don’t. We don’t need like require phone number.
142 00:14:34.510 ⇒ 00:14:36.190 Uttam Kumaran: So it’s basically
143 00:14:39.520 ⇒ 00:14:44.649 Uttam Kumaran: 1st name, last name, email and comp, I guess, 1st name, last name, email and company
144 00:14:45.090 ⇒ 00:14:48.750 Uttam Kumaran: are the required fields. These 2, can we make not required.
145 00:14:56.920 ⇒ 00:14:57.959 Uttam Kumaran: What do you think
146 00:15:00.360 ⇒ 00:15:01.770 Uttam Kumaran: you’re on, mute? If you’re talking.
147 00:15:03.300 ⇒ 00:15:15.769 Nicolas Sucari: Sorry. Sorry. I agree. I I don’t think we need to have phone number. And like the big text message there as required. We can leave that as an optional field.
148 00:15:17.460 ⇒ 00:15:18.829 Uttam Kumaran: Jp. Does that work.
149 00:15:19.140 ⇒ 00:15:19.880 Jaypee Arriola: Yep
150 00:15:20.130 ⇒ 00:15:20.650 Jaypee Arriola: on it.
151 00:15:20.650 ⇒ 00:15:21.520 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool.
152 00:15:22.080 ⇒ 00:15:24.939 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, this is otherwise, I think this is good to go.
153 00:15:25.090 ⇒ 00:15:26.430 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
154 00:15:27.070 ⇒ 00:15:30.090 Uttam Kumaran: let’s just ship this. I think that’s the only change
155 00:15:39.220 ⇒ 00:15:43.030 Uttam Kumaran: perfect. So that’s the pricing page.
156 00:15:43.210 ⇒ 00:15:46.190 Uttam Kumaran: Let’s talk about the about us. Page.
157 00:15:46.400 ⇒ 00:15:50.250 Uttam Kumaran: So I know that’s also here in staging.
158 00:15:53.710 ⇒ 00:15:54.800 Uttam Kumaran: Honest.
159 00:15:57.700 ⇒ 00:16:02.389 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. So I think we need to work on content, Nico and
160 00:16:03.410 ⇒ 00:16:06.530 Uttam Kumaran: like what to put in here. So this is completely waiting on us.
161 00:16:06.670 ⇒ 00:16:09.198 Uttam Kumaran: I think otherwise. This is good.
162 00:16:11.610 ⇒ 00:16:13.670 Nicolas Sucari: My picture there. It’s funny.
163 00:16:13.670 ⇒ 00:16:14.860 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. Yeah.
164 00:16:17.860 ⇒ 00:16:21.610 Nicolas Sucari: Maybe we need to. Yes, use the white Logos for.
165 00:16:23.120 ⇒ 00:16:23.560 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
166 00:16:23.560 ⇒ 00:16:24.500 Nicolas Sucari: So countenance.
167 00:16:24.890 ⇒ 00:16:28.500 Nicolas Sucari: But yeah, all of the content we need to work on here. Because I think.
168 00:16:28.896 ⇒ 00:16:30.630 Nicolas Sucari: yeah, we don’t have anything.
169 00:16:30.780 ⇒ 00:16:37.269 Nicolas Sucari: So yeah, maybe we can work on the content. We can work it with Claude and send a proposal. And then we can review.
170 00:16:38.850 ⇒ 00:16:39.630 Uttam Kumaran: Okay?
171 00:16:39.730 ⇒ 00:16:40.909 Uttam Kumaran: And then
172 00:16:41.950 ⇒ 00:16:46.939 Uttam Kumaran: at the moment, this, okay, actually, we can have everybody go there. That’s fine.
173 00:16:47.873 ⇒ 00:16:50.460 Uttam Kumaran: What do you? How do you feel about
174 00:16:50.800 ⇒ 00:16:53.709 Uttam Kumaran: Nico like this section versus
175 00:16:54.570 ⇒ 00:16:56.619 Uttam Kumaran: this section like.
176 00:16:56.980 ⇒ 00:17:02.290 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know. I’m trying to think about what all the stuff we’re gonna put in here are. But I do think that we can.
177 00:17:02.800 ⇒ 00:17:05.300 Uttam Kumaran: I think this is good with numbers here.
178 00:17:06.099 ⇒ 00:17:11.440 Uttam Kumaran: I’m not sure whether we’re gonna have like this for this section. I may just go straight to about our team.
179 00:17:12.490 ⇒ 00:17:26.140 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I mean, I think this like the section on the top of our team like the above one. It will depend on, what is the content? If because maybe we have content where we want to use the one with the big picture, or
180 00:17:26.240 ⇒ 00:17:31.640 Nicolas Sucari: we wanna use a section without a picture. And then we prefer using this one. Yeah.
181 00:17:32.201 ⇒ 00:17:35.679 Nicolas Sucari: so it will depend on what is the content that we have to add here?
182 00:17:36.233 ⇒ 00:17:41.909 Nicolas Sucari: Having all of these sections is okay. And then we can just like delete an entire section.
183 00:17:42.060 ⇒ 00:17:44.230 Nicolas Sucari: maybe. Okay.
184 00:17:44.640 ⇒ 00:17:46.970 Nicolas Sucari: depending on what content do we have.
185 00:17:47.870 ⇒ 00:17:48.470 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
186 00:17:49.340 ⇒ 00:17:59.260 Nicolas Sucari: Or I. I don’t know. What do you think? Jp, that I don’t know if you thought the sections for something specific, but if not, I think it will all depend on the content.
187 00:18:01.620 ⇒ 00:18:05.329 Jaypee Arriola: I guess you’re right. Yeah, it’ll depend on the availability, the the content.
188 00:18:06.870 ⇒ 00:18:07.500 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
189 00:18:09.270 ⇒ 00:18:21.139 Nicolas Sucari: So I I think I will keep like, obviously the title, first, st the one with the big image. If we don’t have like a big picture to show there. I think this one, this section needs to go away like.
190 00:18:21.140 ⇒ 00:18:22.360 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I.
191 00:18:22.630 ⇒ 00:18:29.080 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, because we don’t have like a a team picture of altogether. And yeah, creating something
192 00:18:29.700 ⇒ 00:18:38.010 Nicolas Sucari: is kind of weird the other one with the numbers. I think it’s it’s pretty good. We need to understand what? Yeah.
193 00:18:38.010 ⇒ 00:18:39.079 Uttam Kumaran: Really gonna go here.
194 00:18:39.080 ⇒ 00:18:44.091 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah, exactly. That was what I was thinking about. Maybe we can use
195 00:18:44.610 ⇒ 00:18:49.010 Nicolas Sucari: something related to the services that we are doing or how.
196 00:18:49.340 ⇒ 00:18:53.750 Nicolas Sucari: as a team, we achieve these kind of, I don’t know Kpis.
197 00:18:53.770 ⇒ 00:19:06.719 Nicolas Sucari: And then we have yeah leading companies. That’s okay. I think we can add some icons there and then. On the on that section. I think that that one is good. We can add the content that we have there
198 00:19:06.850 ⇒ 00:19:09.400 Nicolas Sucari: and our team, it should be us. So that’s fine.
199 00:19:09.400 ⇒ 00:19:10.010 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
200 00:19:10.140 ⇒ 00:19:14.589 Uttam Kumaran: okay, okay, great. So we’ll leave some comments. And we can work on the content.
201 00:19:14.880 ⇒ 00:19:15.980 Uttam Kumaran: And
202 00:19:17.590 ⇒ 00:19:22.202 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, I think, okay, so that’s fine. I think we that one’s blocked by
203 00:19:23.200 ⇒ 00:19:25.089 Uttam Kumaran: by us on the content.
204 00:19:25.230 ⇒ 00:19:26.459 Uttam Kumaran: I’m gonna put
205 00:19:27.870 ⇒ 00:19:30.080 Uttam Kumaran: I’m actually gonna create a new
206 00:19:33.660 ⇒ 00:19:35.809 Uttam Kumaran: what is this property.
207 00:20:36.350 ⇒ 00:20:37.260 Uttam Kumaran: okay.
208 00:20:39.090 ⇒ 00:20:40.869 Uttam Kumaran: start. And then.
209 00:20:50.600 ⇒ 00:20:58.309 Uttam Kumaran: okay, great. So pricing page under contract review about us is also on content. Review.
210 00:21:02.110 ⇒ 00:21:08.710 Uttam Kumaran: the pro pricing pages have the one change, and we’re good to go. Okay, great. So I think those are the big things I think. Let’s talk a little bit about.
211 00:21:09.080 ⇒ 00:21:15.199 Uttam Kumaran: Let’s talk a little bit about the overall structure while we have Ann here, and then I’ll kind of want to talk about like roadmap
212 00:21:16.654 ⇒ 00:21:28.329 Uttam Kumaran: so I think one thing is that we booked a weekly kind of data. We we booked the Wake Weekly Design Review call. I think main goal of that call is, I want to look through stuff that’s needs design review.
213 00:21:28.350 ⇒ 00:21:31.359 Uttam Kumaran: And I also want to go through the site with everybody here.
214 00:21:31.632 ⇒ 00:21:40.019 Uttam Kumaran: And I want to go through the site. That’s we can go through staging because we have the stuff that’s going to come up. But I want to just highlight a couple of things, and
215 00:21:40.200 ⇒ 00:21:43.249 Uttam Kumaran: and and Jp, also, I want you guys to give feedback
216 00:21:43.330 ⇒ 00:21:46.250 Uttam Kumaran: the biggest thing. I think we’re going to change in the next
217 00:21:46.370 ⇒ 00:21:58.793 Uttam Kumaran: in a month or so that I actually want to give a lot more ownership to you guys on the design side. So you think through, you know how we can make this site a lot better. I think I had some ideas initially. But
218 00:21:59.290 ⇒ 00:22:15.089 Uttam Kumaran: you know, for me the biggest thing is having the great content there. But I want you guys to really consider our competitors, our industry, and think about like how we can improve the site. And you know, that’s why I’m hoping that for those weekly calls that you guys can come to the table with some of that as well.
219 00:22:15.590 ⇒ 00:22:22.619 Uttam Kumaran: So I’ll kind of leave a lot of that to you guys. But you know, off the bat, I have a couple of ideas one like, I want to kind of see all the stuff
220 00:22:23.060 ⇒ 00:22:33.220 Uttam Kumaran: like pricing, and you know all the key things in the in the top nav here, I think second and and Jp, let me know what you think like we definitely, this is all text.
221 00:22:33.780 ⇒ 00:22:36.060 Uttam Kumaran: So what do you guys think we could do
222 00:22:36.360 ⇒ 00:22:38.899 Uttam Kumaran: here? I know we wanted to do a header image?
223 00:22:39.980 ⇒ 00:22:49.969 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know. And I think maybe we need some sort of illustration or like design. But yeah, right now, it’s like pure text for our homepage.
224 00:22:53.390 ⇒ 00:22:53.740 Anne Narido: A meeting.
225 00:22:53.740 ⇒ 00:22:54.380 Jaypee Arriola: Probably.
226 00:22:54.380 ⇒ 00:22:55.220 Anne Narido: We’re in.
227 00:22:56.050 ⇒ 00:22:56.590 Anne Narido: Yeah.
228 00:22:56.590 ⇒ 00:22:57.683 Jaypee Arriola: Go ahead!
229 00:22:58.230 ⇒ 00:22:59.360 Anne Narido: For
230 00:22:59.460 ⇒ 00:23:01.939 Anne Narido: some animation in text.
231 00:23:03.080 ⇒ 00:23:03.870 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
232 00:23:04.270 ⇒ 00:23:08.339 Uttam Kumaran: animation and text, or, you know, even some sort of
233 00:23:08.810 ⇒ 00:23:11.299 Uttam Kumaran: design or something.
234 00:23:12.665 ⇒ 00:23:16.334 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know, like, let’s say, like, if we go to like
235 00:23:17.170 ⇒ 00:23:18.450 Uttam Kumaran: slack.
236 00:23:19.390 ⇒ 00:23:21.760 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know. Let’s see what their homepage looks like.
237 00:23:22.400 ⇒ 00:23:24.429 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, this is just like.
238 00:23:26.170 ⇒ 00:23:27.099 Nicolas Sucari: Maybe I don’t even know.
239 00:23:27.100 ⇒ 00:23:28.759 Uttam Kumaran: I can go to the homepage. But.
240 00:23:35.760 ⇒ 00:23:38.249 Uttam Kumaran: like even this is kind of too crazy.
241 00:23:38.890 ⇒ 00:23:40.950 Nicolas Sucari: But go go to Zapier, for example.
242 00:23:43.550 ⇒ 00:23:48.510 Nicolas Sucari: Zapier has like a nice gift. I don’t know why you’re getting to these dogs
243 00:23:49.295 ⇒ 00:23:51.469 Nicolas Sucari: try to. Yeah.
244 00:23:53.000 ⇒ 00:23:54.839 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, let me log out.
245 00:23:57.380 ⇒ 00:24:01.520 Nicolas Sucari: Zapier has kind of like, a nice. Yeah, this video
246 00:24:02.240 ⇒ 00:24:03.760 Nicolas Sucari: with some.
247 00:24:03.760 ⇒ 00:24:04.120 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
248 00:24:04.120 ⇒ 00:24:18.739 Nicolas Sucari: And showing some stuff, maybe. We can kind of try to show what we do in a nice kind of gift like this, right, like trying like how we work with clients, and how we use the tools
249 00:24:18.830 ⇒ 00:24:25.030 Nicolas Sucari: so that something like this can represent us on our processes or our way of working.
250 00:24:27.860 ⇒ 00:24:29.169 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, what do you guys think?
251 00:24:38.010 ⇒ 00:24:42.430 Nicolas Sucari: I can, I can find more default, reference, or other examples. But
252 00:24:43.090 ⇒ 00:24:44.040 Nicolas Sucari: hmm.
253 00:24:45.900 ⇒ 00:24:46.429 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, and.
254 00:24:46.430 ⇒ 00:24:46.970 Anne Narido: I’m.
255 00:24:46.970 ⇒ 00:24:48.770 Uttam Kumaran: If you, what do you guys think of something like this.
256 00:24:49.570 ⇒ 00:24:54.559 Anne Narido: Oh, yeah, sorry. For me. I think we need the contrast
257 00:24:54.710 ⇒ 00:25:00.630 Anne Narido: interesting color or another color that’s different from green, because it’s too greeny.
258 00:25:01.550 ⇒ 00:25:02.070 Nicolas Sucari: To green.
259 00:25:02.070 ⇒ 00:25:02.450 Uttam Kumaran: It is very.
260 00:25:02.667 ⇒ 00:25:03.320 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I think
261 00:25:04.920 ⇒ 00:25:10.680 Nicolas Sucari: that’s something that we can. Yeah, we can. We can change the colors or
262 00:25:10.870 ⇒ 00:25:30.380 Nicolas Sucari: anything else. But more regarding like the components? Or what is the information that we can actually show here in the homepage? I I think we are still missing something visual related to data, and that someone that comes in here understand that we’re gonna be working more in like the techie part of of things
263 00:25:30.500 ⇒ 00:25:31.320 Nicolas Sucari: right?
264 00:25:33.190 ⇒ 00:25:35.023 Anne Narido: Oh, yeah, yeah, of course.
265 00:25:35.440 ⇒ 00:25:39.329 Anne Narido: in terms of images. I think we can add
266 00:25:39.410 ⇒ 00:25:41.960 Anne Narido: on the background or
267 00:25:44.850 ⇒ 00:25:46.710 Anne Narido: click the lines
268 00:25:47.230 ⇒ 00:25:50.529 Anne Narido: on the about page, I think, in services.
269 00:25:51.850 ⇒ 00:25:55.850 Anne Narido: I mean in the in the Newsletter section.
270 00:25:58.660 ⇒ 00:26:00.030 Uttam Kumaran: Hmm, okay.
271 00:26:01.600 ⇒ 00:26:04.330 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, maybe you can take this and
272 00:26:05.100 ⇒ 00:26:06.950 Uttam Kumaran: because this is the pit. Like
273 00:26:06.960 ⇒ 00:26:09.700 Uttam Kumaran: most part, people are gonna come to this page.
274 00:26:09.710 ⇒ 00:26:13.240 Uttam Kumaran: Our goal is for them to be like, I get what these guys do
275 00:26:13.660 ⇒ 00:26:20.519 Uttam Kumaran: hit schedule meeting, and then it go. We’ll we’ll probably end up removing this and having people go to the pricing page.
276 00:26:20.840 ⇒ 00:26:27.410 Uttam Kumaran: But it would be great, maybe, if you can own the homepage and think about like how we want to improve this
277 00:26:28.255 ⇒ 00:26:30.670 Uttam Kumaran: and take this to the next level.
278 00:26:33.460 ⇒ 00:26:34.710 Anne Narido: Oh, yeah, yep, sure.
279 00:26:35.554 ⇒ 00:26:41.989 Anne Narido: I will also communicate with Jp. Regarding the animations that I’m thinking.
280 00:26:42.790 ⇒ 00:26:43.440 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
281 00:26:44.550 ⇒ 00:26:46.500 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, I’m trying to even look if like.
282 00:26:46.660 ⇒ 00:26:47.870 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, all these are.
283 00:26:48.040 ⇒ 00:26:49.689 Uttam Kumaran: their sites are so boring
284 00:26:51.510 ⇒ 00:26:52.115 Uttam Kumaran: like,
285 00:26:54.880 ⇒ 00:26:56.755 Jaypee Arriola: I think, though.
286 00:26:57.890 ⇒ 00:27:04.119 Jaypee Arriola: we kind of need some sort of more input from you of what the graphics or animations would
287 00:27:04.570 ⇒ 00:27:07.579 Jaypee Arriola: look like, or what kind of story should this tell?
288 00:27:07.960 ⇒ 00:27:11.830 Jaypee Arriola: So we can have some sort of something to start from.
289 00:27:12.580 ⇒ 00:27:18.909 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. So to get. So maybe we can even spend a little time on that right now. So the biggest thing is like
290 00:27:20.110 ⇒ 00:27:27.260 Uttam Kumaran: our audience when they come here, are going to be Ceos and business people. So we’re trying to tell them that we are.
291 00:27:27.490 ⇒ 00:27:36.740 Uttam Kumaran: We’re like their data team. We connect. Take all their sources of data, all the confusion and create clear reports.
292 00:27:37.280 ⇒ 00:27:39.800 Uttam Kumaran: Make help them make clear decisions.
293 00:27:39.930 ⇒ 00:27:43.770 Uttam Kumaran: And there’s a couple of key pieces of technology that we we do use to do that
294 00:27:44.010 ⇒ 00:27:50.159 Uttam Kumaran: right. So there’s some sort of flow right? Like, I used to work for this company.
295 00:27:50.220 ⇒ 00:27:54.249 Uttam Kumaran: and they have a I think they I don’t know if they still have it, but
296 00:27:55.912 ⇒ 00:28:00.488 Uttam Kumaran: not, really. They sort of switched it to more like product stuff. But
297 00:28:03.630 ⇒ 00:28:06.080 Uttam Kumaran: I guess I wanted to see. Yeah, like.
298 00:28:06.170 ⇒ 00:28:07.980 Uttam Kumaran: see, they had something like this.
299 00:28:09.740 ⇒ 00:28:15.130 Uttam Kumaran: right? Like we. I worked on this when I was at this company, but you see how it kind of goes through their logo.
300 00:28:15.990 ⇒ 00:28:17.632 Jaypee Arriola: Yeah. The flow.
301 00:28:18.180 ⇒ 00:28:21.380 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, there’s some sort of data flow like.
302 00:28:21.620 ⇒ 00:28:23.531 Uttam Kumaran: here, let’s even look, I mean,
303 00:28:27.360 ⇒ 00:28:34.099 Uttam Kumaran: So I think I sent you guys this spreadsheet. But this is a spreadsheet of like all of the different like data analytics, consultancies.
304 00:28:35.580 ⇒ 00:28:37.160 Uttam Kumaran: that’s kind of like worth
305 00:28:38.037 ⇒ 00:28:39.680 Uttam Kumaran: like looking at.
306 00:28:39.740 ⇒ 00:28:41.789 Uttam Kumaran: But I’m trying to even look at like
307 00:28:44.840 ⇒ 00:28:47.570 Uttam Kumaran: See if there’s any good inspiration here.
308 00:28:55.190 ⇒ 00:28:57.459 Uttam Kumaran: This is kind of too much. Honestly.
309 00:29:18.470 ⇒ 00:29:19.890 Nicolas Sucari: I’m gonna try find
310 00:29:21.070 ⇒ 00:29:22.270 Nicolas Sucari: examples.
311 00:29:22.350 ⇒ 00:29:24.110 Nicolas Sucari: But yeah, I think like
312 00:29:24.550 ⇒ 00:29:26.410 Nicolas Sucari: we if we don’t
313 00:29:26.790 ⇒ 00:29:30.280 Nicolas Sucari: like creating like a flow diagram and
314 00:29:30.450 ⇒ 00:29:44.779 Nicolas Sucari: showing like input process and output should be like the easiest way, and maybe it should. It’s kind of a little bit repetitive and boring but we but that’s kind of our core process. So maybe we can
315 00:29:45.160 ⇒ 00:29:51.059 Nicolas Sucari: have that as a starting point and then try to create create something a little bit more
316 00:29:51.660 ⇒ 00:29:54.719 Nicolas Sucari: dynamic or funny, or I don’t know. Yeah.
317 00:29:56.320 ⇒ 00:29:56.890 Nicolas Sucari: But yeah.
318 00:29:56.890 ⇒ 00:29:58.200 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think.
319 00:29:58.680 ⇒ 00:30:02.339 Nicolas Sucari: We need something visual to try
320 00:30:02.759 ⇒ 00:30:13.610 Nicolas Sucari: to get those people that are gonna come us to to that are gonna yeah, reach the website. It does. Ca, CEO Cfos to easily understand what we do and how we do it.
321 00:30:13.760 ⇒ 00:30:15.259 Nicolas Sucari: just by looking at it.
322 00:30:18.890 ⇒ 00:30:24.310 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. And I, I think that the the tough part guys for a lot of these sites is they’re so text heavy.
323 00:30:25.330 ⇒ 00:30:26.790 Uttam Kumaran: you know, like, look
324 00:30:26.920 ⇒ 00:30:30.019 Uttam Kumaran: analytics, insights. There’s like butterflies. And like.
325 00:30:30.070 ⇒ 00:30:33.479 Uttam Kumaran: I just don’t. I just don’t like that. These are.
326 00:30:33.990 ⇒ 00:30:51.909 Uttam Kumaran: It’s just. I want to be very clear on what we do. And I know there’s probably a gap between that and like what you guys know. And that’s what I want to figure out. And I think probably more conversations and more meetings will kind of get us there. The biggest thing I want to share is like, so here’s an here’s like an example of something that we’re producing for
327 00:30:52.020 ⇒ 00:30:53.739 Uttam Kumaran: some stuff internally.
328 00:30:57.210 ⇒ 00:31:00.040 Uttam Kumaran: that I can kind of share. And then maybe we can.
329 00:31:00.150 ⇒ 00:31:03.029 Uttam Kumaran: We can use in some other way. But
330 00:31:03.350 ⇒ 00:31:06.469 Uttam Kumaran: Nico and I are working on these like diagrams internally.
331 00:31:06.600 ⇒ 00:31:11.660 Uttam Kumaran: which is basically like, see like diagrams of like basically like system architecture diagrams.
332 00:31:11.890 ⇒ 00:31:19.189 Uttam Kumaran: But I kind of wanted. I kind of want to share with people that, like our job is to help them take all their different data sources.
333 00:31:19.600 ⇒ 00:31:26.689 Uttam Kumaran: move them through our partners and our tools, and then give them the results that they need. Right? So this is probably like the most technical.
334 00:31:27.000 ⇒ 00:31:34.150 Uttam Kumaran: And then there’s probably like something that’s like very high level. But I want it to be captivating, and I want it to translate visually.
335 00:31:34.731 ⇒ 00:31:42.900 Uttam Kumaran: what we do without like text. Some people are going to read these things. And that’s why I think immediately, you know that like, hey, it’s a data company
336 00:31:43.190 ⇒ 00:31:54.960 Uttam Kumaran: we do. We help. This is what we do right. But some people aren’t are just going to look at the image, and I want them to see the feeling we’re trying to get for them. Is that, like you, trust us to help organize your data and provide you with insights?
337 00:31:55.030 ⇒ 00:31:56.080 Uttam Kumaran: Right? So.
338 00:31:58.850 ⇒ 00:32:01.383 Jaypee Arriola: Okay, so this basically like,
339 00:32:02.200 ⇒ 00:32:06.090 Jaypee Arriola: some sort of an update of the current branding?
340 00:32:06.310 ⇒ 00:32:08.158 Jaypee Arriola: Or is it like
341 00:32:10.436 ⇒ 00:32:11.930 Jaypee Arriola: But the
342 00:32:12.080 ⇒ 00:32:13.859 Jaypee Arriola: a rebranding.
343 00:32:14.690 ⇒ 00:32:15.890 Nicolas Sucari: I don’t think we need it.
344 00:32:16.660 ⇒ 00:32:20.579 Nicolas Sucari: Well, I don’t know if it is like entirely a rebranding.
345 00:32:20.650 ⇒ 00:32:22.780 Nicolas Sucari: It’s more kind of.
346 00:32:22.780 ⇒ 00:32:25.040 Uttam Kumaran: I think it’s just evolution of this page. Yeah, I think.
347 00:32:25.040 ⇒ 00:32:25.460 Jaypee Arriola: Listen.
348 00:32:25.460 ⇒ 00:32:26.080 Nicolas Sucari: Exactly
349 00:32:26.670 ⇒ 00:32:36.809 Nicolas Sucari: exactly. Yeah. It’s it’s to make this a little bit more dynamic and a little and add maybe some stuff so that we can show clearly what we
350 00:32:36.890 ⇒ 00:32:46.730 Nicolas Sucari: want to achieve and what we want to communicate. But it’s not like an entirely rebranding. Like to think new fonts, new colors, or everything from scratch.
351 00:32:47.507 ⇒ 00:32:51.320 Jaypee Arriola: So maybe let’s talk about the demographic. So that we would know
352 00:32:51.771 ⇒ 00:33:00.420 Jaypee Arriola: what’s crazy and what’s not since it’s gonna be like Ceos, are they gonna be like forties? And to fifties
353 00:33:00.580 ⇒ 00:33:02.200 Jaypee Arriola: or 3 months to 40.
354 00:33:02.200 ⇒ 00:33:10.939 Uttam Kumaran: Let me let me actually let me actually say, share with you guys a document because I have all this written down about who the persona is. Give me one second. I have that. I’ll just.
355 00:33:10.940 ⇒ 00:33:11.719 Jaypee Arriola: Nice. Yeah.
356 00:33:12.170 ⇒ 00:33:14.129 Uttam Kumaran: And then we can talk. We can talk through that.
357 00:33:16.600 ⇒ 00:33:18.406 Uttam Kumaran: So this is in
358 00:34:17.770 ⇒ 00:34:20.859 Uttam Kumaran: So I’ll send this to you guys on slack.
359 00:34:35.580 ⇒ 00:34:40.089 Uttam Kumaran: So this is kind of like an overview document about how we’re gonna do content.
360 00:34:40.210 ⇒ 00:34:41.750 Uttam Kumaran: But basically
361 00:34:41.810 ⇒ 00:34:46.950 Uttam Kumaran: the key personas we’re going after our Ceos. So yeah, you can think like
362 00:34:47.500 ⇒ 00:34:51.380 Uttam Kumaran: definitely like 40 plus in terms of age
363 00:34:51.630 ⇒ 00:35:03.189 Uttam Kumaran: you can think about. They are running companies or their vps. CEO, Vp, Cfo coo. So they have a high level understanding about how their business works. But they don’t know like
364 00:35:03.280 ⇒ 00:35:10.589 Uttam Kumaran: what specific technology or like, what dashboard. They know that data is important, and that they want to be data driven.
365 00:35:10.780 ⇒ 00:35:14.270 Uttam Kumaran: And they they need some help to make better decisions with data.
366 00:35:14.400 ⇒ 00:35:17.109 Uttam Kumaran: Right? So that’s the feeling I want to translate
367 00:35:17.540 ⇒ 00:35:27.990 Uttam Kumaran: them is like how they can, how they can use data to basically improve their business, make more decisions and kind of like these things which is like, save money.
368 00:35:28.330 ⇒ 00:35:31.440 Uttam Kumaran: Lower costs make better decisions with data.
369 00:35:32.780 ⇒ 00:35:44.589 Uttam Kumaran: make more money, you know, it’s it’s it’s actually like, I want to talk about the results. And then you leave the process to us right? Or if you want to learn more about the process, you can go to our case studies and read the process?
370 00:35:45.210 ⇒ 00:35:46.500 Uttam Kumaran: Does that make sense.
371 00:35:47.770 ⇒ 00:35:49.889 Jaypee Arriola: Okay. Okay. Happy.
372 00:35:50.670 ⇒ 00:36:00.449 Uttam Kumaran: Any other questions on the feel free. Any questions on the persona side, like I wanted to be more kind of like, happy to kind of share a bit even about who we have worked with, you know, if if helpful.
373 00:36:05.410 ⇒ 00:36:06.950 Uttam Kumaran: And does that make sense.
374 00:36:08.558 ⇒ 00:36:11.550 Jaypee Arriola: We’re talking about AI data
375 00:36:11.670 ⇒ 00:36:15.679 Jaypee Arriola: tech, are we not going to some sort of humanize it?
376 00:36:16.140 ⇒ 00:36:20.960 Jaypee Arriola: Because, looking at the logo, there is some sort of a itemized forge
377 00:36:20.990 ⇒ 00:36:25.210 Jaypee Arriola: word in it. Are we going to put some humanizing
378 00:36:25.260 ⇒ 00:36:28.329 Jaypee Arriola: aspect to it, or is it? Is it all data
379 00:36:28.640 ⇒ 00:36:29.640 Jaypee Arriola: all tech.
380 00:36:30.610 ⇒ 00:36:31.615 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I guess.
381 00:36:32.410 ⇒ 00:36:34.160 Uttam Kumaran: that’s a good question. I think, like.
382 00:36:34.250 ⇒ 00:36:40.279 Uttam Kumaran: our goal is for the data and stuff to get leveraged by humans for decision making. Right?
383 00:36:40.300 ⇒ 00:36:43.099 Uttam Kumaran: So anything we do on the data or AI side.
384 00:36:43.230 ⇒ 00:36:47.530 Uttam Kumaran: we want that to be output. So we can again save people money.
385 00:36:47.660 ⇒ 00:37:01.729 Uttam Kumaran: allow them to save time, allow them to grow their business right? So it’s not like technology just to throw technology at a problem. It’s about like actually leveraging the best technology to impact like the humans day to day.
386 00:37:03.340 ⇒ 00:37:18.169 Uttam Kumaran: right? The kind of like the the we I mean to even talk about, like the name of the company, and more of like Forge, meaning like, you know, how like you kind of forge steel, you forge like a bunch of things bunch of technology together for a solution. That’s sort of the idea around here.
387 00:37:19.040 ⇒ 00:37:20.540 Uttam Kumaran: Did that make sense.
388 00:37:21.320 ⇒ 00:37:21.980 Jaypee Arriola: Yeah.
389 00:37:25.420 ⇒ 00:37:27.197 Jaypee Arriola: cause I’m thinking,
390 00:37:27.880 ⇒ 00:37:35.239 Jaypee Arriola: maybe just the look and feel it kind of feels almost the same with cloud. AI kind of branding.
391 00:37:37.560 ⇒ 00:37:38.510 Jaypee Arriola: What do you think.
392 00:37:38.510 ⇒ 00:37:38.970 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
393 00:37:41.670 ⇒ 00:37:43.129 Uttam Kumaran: May open up Claude
394 00:37:45.780 ⇒ 00:37:46.430 Uttam Kumaran: Ashham.
395 00:37:46.430 ⇒ 00:37:49.129 Jaypee Arriola: It’s like an almost no nonsense.
396 00:37:49.784 ⇒ 00:37:52.080 Jaypee Arriola: Ai tech humanized data.
397 00:37:52.200 ⇒ 00:37:53.400 Jaypee Arriola: Something like that.
398 00:37:56.290 ⇒ 00:37:57.380 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, like I would.
399 00:37:58.030 ⇒ 00:38:02.850 Uttam Kumaran: Well, on a I wanted to be very particular
400 00:38:08.080 ⇒ 00:38:09.460 Uttam Kumaran: thoughts.
401 00:38:09.990 ⇒ 00:38:10.920 Nicolas Sucari: We are. We are losing.
402 00:38:10.920 ⇒ 00:38:13.109 Uttam Kumaran: Want to spend time talking about
403 00:38:13.330 ⇒ 00:38:18.529 Uttam Kumaran: questions about process. You can find that information. They’ve a lot of the other sites that we
404 00:38:18.730 ⇒ 00:38:19.599 Uttam Kumaran: can. You hear me.
405 00:38:19.600 ⇒ 00:38:23.149 Nicolas Sucari: We can hear you now something happened, and you were cutting off, but we can hear you now.
406 00:38:23.150 ⇒ 00:38:28.299 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, sorry. Okay. I know. I was saying a a lot of this other sites that we use.
407 00:38:28.698 ⇒ 00:38:32.840 Uttam Kumaran: The a lot of the other consulting sites. It’s all about the process.
408 00:38:32.860 ⇒ 00:38:35.620 Uttam Kumaran: So much text tons of jargon.
409 00:38:35.710 ⇒ 00:38:39.500 Uttam Kumaran: I want to talk. I want to talk about the results and the feeling
410 00:38:39.730 ⇒ 00:38:43.359 Uttam Kumaran: right? I think that’s what makes a landing page. And a website
411 00:38:43.650 ⇒ 00:38:45.310 Uttam Kumaran: really, really amazing.
412 00:38:45.737 ⇒ 00:38:49.010 Uttam Kumaran: Like, if you go like, this is the Claude Page.
413 00:38:49.040 ⇒ 00:38:54.719 Uttam Kumaran: It’s very simple. It’s really just like to sign up and learn more. But you can see. Turn your thoughts into reality.
414 00:38:55.080 ⇒ 00:38:59.200 Uttam Kumaran: Examples. Clean the Csv visualize this cost
415 00:38:59.400 ⇒ 00:39:01.780 Uttam Kumaran: right? Spark your creativity.
416 00:39:01.960 ⇒ 00:39:03.859 Uttam Kumaran: Very basic
417 00:39:04.110 ⇒ 00:39:06.740 Uttam Kumaran: meet. Claude. Claude is a next generation. AI.
418 00:39:06.820 ⇒ 00:39:09.749 Uttam Kumaran: Here’s the pricing frequently asked questions.
419 00:39:09.910 ⇒ 00:39:11.744 Uttam Kumaran: Right? Like, if you go to
420 00:39:12.540 ⇒ 00:39:13.970 Uttam Kumaran: perplexity.
421 00:39:14.690 ⇒ 00:39:15.770 Uttam Kumaran: Let’s see.
422 00:39:16.550 ⇒ 00:39:18.680 Uttam Kumaran: I think they even they, they
423 00:39:19.090 ⇒ 00:39:20.860 Uttam Kumaran: they push you right into the
424 00:39:21.010 ⇒ 00:39:23.100 Uttam Kumaran: into how everything works.
425 00:39:23.754 ⇒ 00:39:26.700 Uttam Kumaran: I’m trying to think if there’s anything else that’s like
426 00:39:27.070 ⇒ 00:39:28.742 Uttam Kumaran: similar that we can
427 00:39:29.290 ⇒ 00:39:30.970 Uttam Kumaran: poke around at like.
428 00:39:31.630 ⇒ 00:39:33.659 Uttam Kumaran: Let’s look@find.com.
429 00:39:38.470 ⇒ 00:39:44.479 Uttam Kumaran: But did you see these are all like, since this is all Saas products. It’s a little bit tougher, like, what if we go to
430 00:39:45.410 ⇒ 00:39:48.780 Uttam Kumaran: like to give you a sense of like kind of like? I was looking at this site.
431 00:39:49.240 ⇒ 00:39:52.340 Uttam Kumaran: This is like a design agency.
432 00:39:54.180 ⇒ 00:39:55.020 Uttam Kumaran: and
433 00:39:55.400 ⇒ 00:39:57.800 Uttam Kumaran: this site is like, super super.
434 00:39:57.950 ⇒ 00:39:58.780 Uttam Kumaran: like.
435 00:39:59.060 ⇒ 00:40:04.790 Uttam Kumaran: basically, it’s like the it’s trying to encourage you to convert and press book, a call as much as possible.
436 00:40:04.880 ⇒ 00:40:07.982 Uttam Kumaran: So a lot of Ctas, a lot of
437 00:40:08.570 ⇒ 00:40:12.179 Uttam Kumaran: other brands here, examples upfront.
438 00:40:13.460 ⇒ 00:40:19.450 Uttam Kumaran: You don’t have a traffic problem. You’re failing to convert that traffic into leads. Right? It makes you feel that feeling.
439 00:40:20.280 ⇒ 00:40:26.509 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, yeah, I mean, my website does suck because I don’t have. I’m losing competition. I’m doing this right? So
440 00:40:26.700 ⇒ 00:40:29.470 Uttam Kumaran: this is how it gets like, I like this type
441 00:40:29.810 ⇒ 00:40:38.669 Uttam Kumaran: because it’s very, very like it’s trying to really get you to be like. Let me go learn more. All these guys look great. They know exactly what they’re doing. You kind of see what I mean.
442 00:40:43.430 ⇒ 00:40:45.060 Jaypee Arriola: Okay, yeah, got it.
443 00:40:45.060 ⇒ 00:40:52.880 Uttam Kumaran: But this is a little bit much right like I feel like this is a little bit too trendy like there’s a lot on here.
444 00:40:53.060 ⇒ 00:40:53.879 Uttam Kumaran: but I do like.
445 00:40:53.880 ⇒ 00:40:54.390 Jaypee Arriola: Through this.
446 00:40:54.390 ⇒ 00:40:57.780 Uttam Kumaran: Right. And, Anne, you were talking about some animation like this, right.
447 00:40:59.620 ⇒ 00:41:00.519 Anne Narido: How many of you.
448 00:41:04.110 ⇒ 00:41:07.249 Jaypee Arriola: Is it like a little too young for our demographic.
449 00:41:07.250 ⇒ 00:41:15.749 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, that’s what I would say. It’s a little bit too like cause. For example, we’re going after Ceos of companies that are making
450 00:41:15.900 ⇒ 00:41:18.510 Uttam Kumaran: like 10 million dollars or more a year.
451 00:41:18.540 ⇒ 00:41:20.929 Uttam Kumaran: Right? So a lot of these sites.
452 00:41:20.970 ⇒ 00:41:22.769 Uttam Kumaran: right, are going to be like startups
453 00:41:23.910 ⇒ 00:41:52.360 Uttam Kumaran: for us like we work with startups. But it’s not our bread and butter, our bread and butter are like big corporations, like like corporations that you know, have a lot of money to budget for a technology like ours. So if you go here like, oh, this is nice. But, for example, these are all startup pages right? None of these are like large corporations, and for, as you mentioned, Jp. Like, you’re spot on for like a 40 or 50 year old, CEO, they may not like.
454 00:41:52.440 ⇒ 00:41:57.020 Uttam Kumaran: They may think that. Oh, these guys are like young, and they don’t have experience. Right?
455 00:41:57.070 ⇒ 00:42:03.640 Uttam Kumaran: So that’s where I kind of want to set the balance between us. And you know, some of these pages that are like
456 00:42:05.420 ⇒ 00:42:07.859 Uttam Kumaran: like analytics. 8. For example.
457 00:42:08.340 ⇒ 00:42:12.049 Uttam Kumaran: I like these guys sites because it is a. It is a little bit more
458 00:42:12.430 ⇒ 00:42:18.540 Uttam Kumaran: like appealing than some of the other boring sites, like I think they did a good job with the color and the contrast.
459 00:42:18.590 ⇒ 00:42:21.110 Uttam Kumaran: and they have images, you know. So
460 00:42:21.150 ⇒ 00:42:23.630 Uttam Kumaran: it’s probably something closer to this.
461 00:42:23.790 ⇒ 00:42:25.720 Uttam Kumaran: but still a lot of text.
462 00:42:25.750 ⇒ 00:42:29.150 Uttam Kumaran: But you can see. Look at the companies that they’re working with right large
463 00:42:29.510 ⇒ 00:42:31.460 Uttam Kumaran: multinational corporations.
464 00:42:51.910 ⇒ 00:42:55.869 Nicolas Sucari: It has kind of that, like professional look that we need to
465 00:42:56.180 ⇒ 00:42:57.489 Nicolas Sucari: stick to it too.
466 00:42:59.630 ⇒ 00:43:06.650 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, it’s both right. You see, there, there is a lot of professionalism. But there’s still look at the Logos. Look at the icons.
467 00:43:06.840 ⇒ 00:43:13.810 Uttam Kumaran: There’s it’s a nice visual they have. They have ways. Some stuff is still like a little bit, I would say.
468 00:43:14.080 ⇒ 00:43:18.880 Uttam Kumaran: like, I I like that. Everything is designed well, and you can still see like, look
469 00:43:19.090 ⇒ 00:43:23.059 Uttam Kumaran: for you to get a strategy session. You have to fill out 10 different things
470 00:43:23.620 ⇒ 00:43:38.669 Uttam Kumaran: right like. So there’s just small things like that that these big corporations, these big companies are going to just like drop the ball on. But for us, right, we have a couple of case studies that we want people to read. We want to get as many people to that right to that pricing and to the request services as pot as much as possible.
471 00:43:39.210 ⇒ 00:43:44.566 Uttam Kumaran: And you know, like, I want to get people to book a meeting as fast as possible. Is there is the goal?
472 00:43:46.610 ⇒ 00:43:59.376 Uttam Kumaran: So that’s probably the 1st thing that I think. And maybe if you guys can come and and take a look at that, I would really love to kind of like, spend some time later this week or or next week on
473 00:44:00.030 ⇒ 00:44:05.179 Uttam Kumaran: like talking about that process and talking about like, what can we do on the home page side.
474 00:44:07.070 ⇒ 00:44:07.740 Jaypee Arriola: Okay.
475 00:44:08.695 ⇒ 00:44:14.630 Jaypee Arriola: do we have? Or are we sort of allowed to restructure the whole homepage? Or
476 00:44:14.890 ⇒ 00:44:17.299 Jaypee Arriola: do we have to follow the flow? The.
477 00:44:17.300 ⇒ 00:44:22.460 Uttam Kumaran: No, yep, you, you can. You can think about any new structure as much as possible.
478 00:44:24.060 ⇒ 00:44:27.340 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, I I kind of give you guys a lot of ownership
479 00:44:27.460 ⇒ 00:44:42.759 Uttam Kumaran: again, I think. Jp, your questions are really good. So, Ann, let me know if you have any other questions. But I think you you kind of get the sense. Now, that’s like we’re balancing our audience with the fact that we’re trying to convey this feeling. But yeah, I mean, I want to give you guys as much creative freedom
480 00:44:42.840 ⇒ 00:44:46.750 Uttam Kumaran: as possible, and then you’ll you can, you know. We’ll be able to give.
481 00:44:46.770 ⇒ 00:44:48.682 Uttam Kumaran: of course, feedback
482 00:44:49.960 ⇒ 00:44:54.199 Uttam Kumaran: And then again, to give you guys a sense of like how we will know we’re successful.
483 00:44:54.220 ⇒ 00:44:59.160 Uttam Kumaran: Our goal right now for the coal companies to get more people booking meetings with us.
484 00:44:59.330 ⇒ 00:45:00.100 Uttam Kumaran: So
485 00:45:00.450 ⇒ 00:45:06.259 Uttam Kumaran: every sending as many people to book a call, getting people to convert in that manner is our number one goal
486 00:45:06.410 ⇒ 00:45:16.930 Uttam Kumaran: right down the line. Maybe our goal may be to translate more information. Our goal may be to disqualify certain people right now. Our number one goal is to get people to book calls with us
487 00:45:17.020 ⇒ 00:45:27.440 Uttam Kumaran: right? So you keep that in the back of your mind. But I want all red, and to give you to Jp. To give you a sense, people are people. Message me every day being like I love the way your site looks.
488 00:45:27.590 ⇒ 00:45:30.339 Uttam Kumaran: Can I introduce you to. So and so so people already like
489 00:45:30.530 ⇒ 00:45:36.990 Uttam Kumaran: what we have now. So I do think that’s leveling it up a little bit more is gonna really
490 00:45:37.310 ⇒ 00:45:46.719 Uttam Kumaran: is gonna really, really make it in a great place, and then also sets the stage for us to say, Cool the homepage is done. Now let’s go look at the case. Study pages and things like that.
491 00:45:46.790 ⇒ 00:45:51.320 Uttam Kumaran: That’s why I want you guys to start with the homepage dream big. And then let’s try to make something
492 00:45:51.871 ⇒ 00:45:57.708 Uttam Kumaran: great happened with that. I think otherwise. This week me and Nico will focus on the rest of the content.
493 00:45:58.730 ⇒ 00:46:08.667 Uttam Kumaran: And then we’re starting to also start to work with a copywriter so hopefully, you know, because again, hopefully, my time and Nico’s time isn’t like
494 00:46:09.993 ⇒ 00:46:11.600 Uttam Kumaran: Like the
495 00:46:11.910 ⇒ 00:46:18.690 Uttam Kumaran: isn’t like the main blocker, I mean, instead, like we could have, we can have someone who’s paired with you guys on the copywriting side. So.
496 00:46:19.360 ⇒ 00:46:23.920 Jaypee Arriola: Okay, can. We have access to the graph you recently showed?
