Please remove the Facebook, Mailchimp etc logos. It really leaves a bad taste - it's a practice to show those on a landing when either the companies whose logo are featured, are using this product/service or have said something positive about it.

But after reading the line below it, it's just a mis-direction, felt almost cheated. I'd highly recommend removing it.



Yeah, this is very misleading. The icons seem to imply "Facebook used my service/book/advice", when in reality you just mean "Facebook is a web service".

Either make it abundantly clear with a big headline, or scrap the icons. They look waaay too much like social proof logos.

Edit: Looking at it again, you do have an abundantly clear headline that describes what they are. Which I didn't even see because I assumed they are social proof logos. I'd just scrap them entirely.


Agree, at first I thought Nathan had accomplished something for these companies. I thought it odd that he didn't make a bigger deal about his work for them. It was a shot to his credibility that I found he has never been involved in projects for these teams, or if he has, it's not discoverable.


FWIW I didn't get that impression at all, and did not feel mislead by these icons.
