I built a "Perfect" landing page for my business. Now, how do I actually get people to see it?

#startup #beginners #marketing #discuss

I built a "Perfect" Studio site. Now, how do I actually get people to see it ? I'm stuck with no actionable leads

But last month, I launched Riolu Studios, and I realized I hit a wall. A wall that no amount of Refactoring or LeetCode could solve.

The Marketing Wall.

As developers, we have this "Build it and they will come" mentality. We think if the UI is slick and the Lighthouse score is 100, the clients will just spawn out of thin air.

Spoiler alert: They don't.

The Current "Dev" Strategy

Right now, our "marketing" for Riolu Studios looks like this:

  • Posting on X (@RioluStudios) and hoping the algorithm gods are kind.
  • Sharing "Build in Public" updates that mostly just reach other developers.
  • Cold-emailing people we admire (and feeling like a nuisance).

My Question to the Dev.to Community

I know there are founders here who have successfully made the jump from Code to Customer. I want to know:

  1. Where do the non-devs hang out? If I’m looking for founders who value "Craft" over "Cheap," where is the digital watering hole?
  2. How do you talk about "Value" without sounding like a LinkedIn Guru? I hate buzzwords. I want to talk about engineering, but clients want to hear about ROI. How do you bridge that gap?
  3. What’s the one marketing "hack" that actually worked for your studio or freelance business?
