That's one of the brilliant service as I have ever tried.
Actually, I'll also consider to pay something to this wonderful service. I think producer should consider about adding premium staff for small prices.

#142Asking for my email after letting me download my template?? I'm not sure if it is the most effective way to collect emails, but it sure is a good UX. As a reward, I included my email :)
Maybe a candidate for a yet-to-be-built "lightpatterns.org"?
Looks like someone had the intention to start one but hasn't quite gotten there yet:

#143This is interesting. I'm blind, and while I can think of ideas for products/side projects, designing a nice-looking website is such a huge momentum-killer. I mean, I know that I could just focus on features, keep the site design simple, and build a good design later. Then I visit , and half the comments are about how some UI element or other breaks on some combination of browser or other, and the last thing I want is…
Going a bit off topic here: would a chrome/firefox extension that adds alt tags to images using AI be useful for you?
There are quite some api's that guess tags and descriptions for images. This doesn't look very complicated and might make inaccessible websites a bit more usable for you.

#144I absolutely love this and thats coming from a "professional" web developer.
I gave this to a client of mine to try for one of her personal projects and she was somewhat confused. After I pointed out the steps vs previews, she got the hang of it. But by that time she'd made a bit of a mess with a lot of extra feature blocks/steps.
She wanted a clean slate but it looks like you're storing progress in a cookie. Can we have a reset all?
While I'd love an arbitrary HTML block, the ability to add meta tags, custom fonts, blah blah...don't. If people want that kind of power there's a lot of alternative static site tools/CMS' out there.

Well, I would think even with Launchaco, designing websites is hard if you are completely blind because this tool does not take away the task of choosing colors. Also, I have tried downloading the site and it does not look the same as the preview.
Have you considered collaborating with a sighted person who is making the website for your project?

Thank you for this enlightening comment, and apologies that our website isn't more accessible. We'll be looking in to this through out the day and will try to add some better html to accommodate for anyone who may be in a similar boat to you. I'm really sorry we didn't think about this stuff up front, and will do my best to from here on out.
I am a software developer/engineer/, and i am the only "computer guy" in the family. So i've been tasked to create a website for a bakery startup. I couldn't agree more with the previous comment, about creating a website as being a momentum killer!
So when i saw this, my initial thoughts were, hmmm another one of 'those' sites. However i'm pleasanlty surprised, sure the elements aren't perfect, and the colours could be more varied, but it's an almost complete site. Replace the graphics, the fonts and text, i'm good to go! I just need to focus on the content and not the boiler plate crap.
Thank you!

Please run your site though an accessibility validator like ACA. At the very least make sure all images have an alt attribute! I feel like so many devs ignore accessibility even though it's not really that hard.
It really tends to me an afterthought. A lot of places that i've worked for, accessibility is never factored with estimates. If it does make it, it's a rushed job, or it never makes it and after few complaints, it's added as needed.

#149Once I figured out what was going on, I liked it. But at first, I thought you were really trying to sell me domains the whole time. I thought it was a big marketing page for a hosting/domain service, and did not realize it was actually all editable. You really need to make it clear what is going on if you want to open this to a larger audience.
Well I still have no idea. All I can see is a bunch of options which lead to external services, like Twitter, Google Fonts, GoDaddy, etc.
This UI fails miserably at guiding me through any sort of process.

#150I'm pretty used to being different from most people, but I'm not used to being so utterly different from the hackernews crowd as I feel right now.
Am I seeing a different website than everyone is talking about? All I see is a bunch of different boxes with links, where most links just shove me to some external service (GoDaddy, Twitter, Google Fonts, etc.)
Where's the "website builder"?
