Specifically, it's the Beautiful mobile pages section, that features a picture of a laptop and says "Our responsive templates look great on any device, automatically." Ha.
Is it safe to say it's a direct competition with Weebly?
Suggestion: Make it more obvious that your Terms[1] and Privacy Policy[2] texts are actually links. Or maybe you aren't expecting anyone to actually read that? Probably a 'design' decision -- but then I clicked on them and they're just plain text files that aren't even formatted to be readable. (Yes, I realize I'm being harsh here, but really. They're explicit .txt files. Come on.) [1] http://www.strikingly.com/terms…
Granted, the jarring transition should be avoided, but I believe all documents should be available in an array of formats; html, json, txt.
I couldn't sign up since the reg form suggests my email is invalid! (You can see my email in my profile).
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 s…
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!
I was trying to scroll through the home page on my laptop, using the arrow keys, and it didn't work. When I pressed the down arrow, it scrolled me to the next section, but some sections were too tall and didn't fit on my screen.

I always chuckle a little when a design-oriented company has a non-retina website.
I want it to actually mean something, dammit.

I for one love this! More sites should make documents like this available in pure-text formats. Granted, the jarring transition should be avoided, but I believe all documents should be available in an array of formats; html, json, txt.
I would also suggest making it easy to replace images, especially the logo and the hero elements, with plain text boxes (textured/gradient/solid background). That might work better for boring businesses than stock photos.
Otherwise, nice little service, wish you best of luck with it!
