I'm sorry, but
This won't change your landing page conversion rate:
— polished design
— mind-blowing animations
— dark mode
— black & purple color pallette
What you actually need is:

Even if it's another screenshot tool, logo generator, or ChatGPT wrapper.

Threads stating that everyone can easily start making $1K-$5K-$20K monthly with their side hustle are evil.

Web apps -> Bubble
Website -> Typedream
Payments -> Gumroad
