Great job! Very intuitive design. Much better than the majority of services I have tried before for simple pages I've wanted to put out. Once a page is built and live, can the user then save the HTML and host it on their own server? (leaving the by: lonelypage logo at the bottom)
This one looks like it's going for the Squarespace/Wix market.
I think what matters the most in that space is getting out of the box with a very nice looking template - Squarespace excels there! (heck, their current landing page says "Make it beautiful"). And they have a nice logo creator.
This one doesn't seem to have that much design in it. On the plus side, it does say "No signup to try out" (that's a huge plus, hope spammers don't abuse it) and "simplest", which is what I expect your target audience to like.
Edit: on the builder, I think you should emphasize starter templates more.
Pretty sick! I'll be using a pro plan for a new project. BTW, gradients not working in mobile.
Cool site. If it'll go down anything like my own you'll get 30'000 views and like 3 buys, but no recurring revenue. You may be interested to read my experience: http://code.krister.ee/mybest-project-so-far-shutting-it-dow... Don't think twice about contacting me :)
Interesting read, thanks for the link.

Google says they explicitly don’t use web-browsing data for ad targeting. They don’t say that they don’t use web-browsing data to improve your experience with their various recommendation/prediction/autocomplete APIs.

I’m order to square these requirements, they would just have to use your browsing data to target you with the version of the instructional video which always plays relevant ads to you
You should let the user go through the entire process of creating the page before you ask for money. Then they have the extra desire of wanting their finished thing. (I started building a site and put in a form, only to be told that was a paid thing. Closed the whole thing and immediately came to write this.)
Now if I were to give you one piece of advice I would say, find a niche or a couple of niche industries that have specific needs and sell to them.
This can be anything from setting up an event and taking payment for it to creating a local sports group.
The world is increasingly composed of computing devices that stay on 24 hours a day. Long gone are the days when only servers used to do this. Now most desktops have ~90% uptime while mobile devices are almost at 100%. Combine that with ever increasing, cheap bandwidth, I think the time is ripe more than ever for hosting your own simple, low traffic services including websites. The only obstacle here is that there st…

> Maybe you noticed how much advertisment squarespace...do I would intuitively estimate that about 15% of educational youtube videos are sponsored by Squarespace.
Actually I would estimate 15% of all youtube videos are sponsored by Squarespace.
