This is the true value of any software-based business, not the code.
This is the true value of any software-based business, not the code. A pithy statement that is like candy to VC ears, but falls down if you think about it even a little. Nobody is going to buy Adobe for its client list.
How much would the code of say Photoshop be worth if the entire Photoshop team were to leave and set up a competing business?

Maybe not for the client list, but possibly for the team. How much would the code of say Photoshop be worth if the entire Photoshop team were to leave and set up a competing business?
An early stage company that barely has any code? Yes, in that case, it's the team that matters because they haven't fulfilled the vision yet.

>Companies like Squarespace set the bar much higher. When I was evaluating user friendly web platforms for several non-profits, I ended up choosing Wix over Squarespace because Squarespace didn't provide backup>restore functionality. That's a pretty low bar...
Just because they didn't prioritize a feature that most of their users won't care about doesn't mean its a low bar, it just means you care about something they don't.

What’s the best option if you’re a non-tech-savvy small business owner, you need a web presence, and you can’t afford to hire someone to do it for you?
If you can't hire someone overseas to make a website, probably run your business off a facebook/instagram page. A lot of small businesses around me do that.

All of the existing WYSIWYG site builders are walled garden garbage.
I went with Wix, as it was the best of the builders, but it is still totally crap. I do not understand why web tech has moved so slowly in this area.

I hate this response! Businesses that rely on shitty facebook crap don’t get my business. And hiring someone to make a brochureware website is a maintenance nightmare. Do you work with small businesses much?
Many of the best (and successful) restaurants near me don't have websites, for example.
In some places people run their businesses almost entirely through chat apps like whatsapp or wechat. Works great for businesses based around client relationships.
