The title is misleading - instead of showing examples of websites using Webbify you're requiring us to login with Facebook without understanding why and what exactly will we get out of it.

You need to pivot. Websites such as these are basically a relic from the past. (unless you need to have one. eg: Web Developer, Designer, etc). It's not like there are a dearth of tools to make them either (there are tons more than Strikingly).

Why should I give my social login?

Social login is preferred by many (these many are people who don't read Hacker News) mainly because it eliminates the need to remember another password and do away with email verification.

That rationale is valid if it's an option, not a requirement.

@Strikingly: Well I didn't know of it. Will do a quick check. What we noticed was that the actual text content in site is small and there is no point in having multiple webpages (one for home, contact, etc. ). Instead in Webbify, you just have themes which offer you single page flow or tabbed designs which are actually just a single page. So anytime a person visits your site and clicks on a different tab - there is n…

Thats great how you managed to not answer facebook concerns.

I agree that there is a need to keep other OAuth options + username/password based registration - this will be added surely :) I just didn't answer again as I had answered in another comment thread - and then the threads got reordered
