As long as the product itself is built modularly so the visualized customization can actually be delivered, this works really well. This pattern is fairly commonly in dashboard UI, so functionality does not overwhelm new users. This is much tougher to pull off paired with products architected as a monolith.

100% agree, this is not for everyone

I saw some websites with interactive demos using arcade-software. That hooked me for a long time. I rephrased your idea as "make an interactive website" especially about how your product will work / solves their problem.

Love it! Great point. I actually wrote about interactive websites here: https://www.marketingideas.com/p/the-most-powerful-cta

Great information. Any suggestions on software to set up toggles in Shopify?

This is genius.

Seriously, one of the most inventive ways to make your landing page more appealing.

I built a regular boring onboarding, but my next project will have this kind of landing page!

Had the exact same thoughts... so nice. Probably a lot harder within an app with limited space but still a great idea.

An app forces you to be more creative with your design :)

If you come up with anything good, let me know!

I immediately thought about using different graphics showing the difference for that specific part directly below the switch. Or maybe even videos like I already use them here could be super nice: https://www.locationscout.net/app

Will definitely give it a try because I always love to see what it actually does for me when using a switch and I feel that great games do this a lot more often and show the users what enabling a shader in the settings or what the difference between Ray Tracing is for the experience.

Interesting. So you'll have many different parts vertically to show everything?

I think so because you won't have more space on a mobile device. Or pin something at the bottom and the switches change this preview but I feel that this is too small and I would rather focus each graphic on the specific detail it's changing.
