What about businesses that aren't apps or "sexy?" Say an accounting firm or some other professional services. I always struggle to fill in the massive image requirements of the front page sliders of these kinds of templates for "boring" businesses. I don't think these businesses should be forgotten, though. The editing interface is fantastic, nonetheless. Great job.

That's a great point. We actually have a lot of small businesses using Strikingly, including accounting and law firms. We realized that picking good images is a long and hard process, and we're building up an asset library with good images for people to choose from. Do you think this helps? Thanks a lot for the feedback!

I think providing large, quality images is above and beyond the call. Anything toward that is pure bonus IMO.

My fault for not reading the fine print. Created my site and was ready to buy it but realized the site has to remain hosted on strikingly servers. Would love to pay a one-time fee to download the source code for site I created and upload it to my own server.

By the way this was the easiest, most beautiful web site I ever created. I do NOT have an eye for design and this really made me feel like I had a good looking site even though all I did was put my info in a template. So thank you :)

Awesome to hear that! It should be done soon.

Thanks a lot for your support and kind words! We don't have a function for you to download the source code yet, but we might think about offering that function in the near future. Sorry that it wasn't clear to you. Definitely let me know if you have any other feedback!
