“(dual-positioning hero — "publishing platform" addressing both bloggers and newsletter creators)”
Trying to be the WordPress alternative and the Substack alternative in the same hero dilutes both pitches. Bloggers need CMS features; newsletter creators need subscriber management and payment processing. Leading with both means neither audience sees their specific problem solved first.
“Segment the entry: newsletter creators see "Publish, grow, and monetize your newsletter — 0% revenue share, full subscriber ownership." Bloggers see "A modern publishing platform — fast, clean, open source."”
Audience-specific landing paths convert higher because each visitor immediately sees their use case validated. A combined hero forces both audiences to parse irrelevant information before finding relevance.
