I don't want this to be intended as harsh criticism of your idea, but let me share my experience with website builders: - The market is extremely tough. Maybe you noticed how much advertisment squarespace and Wix do. The reason being that these pages typically have small businesses as customers. The issue with these type of businesses is that they go away quickly. Most don't survive 6 months. So you need new customer…

I think google has just profiled you (and me, and everyone else on HN)...

We go on web-dev related and business start up websites, and google is watching us.

This is actually perfect. Needed a super quick landing page creator and you nailed it. If you're going to make changes then recommend you develop an API for page creation, perhaps a Zapier integration. Otherwise good on you!

I've been looking at something like this to host a landing page for a book I wrote years ago. Great work, I'll give it a try.

Maybe, but I've also heard ads for Squarespace on terrestrial radio.

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.)

These are not Google ads, but the creator sponsorships

Sadly no. The ads I get are largely for things I don't want. Occasionally they are good or interesting, but usually no.

I wish more ad providers had a way to say "please show me more ads like this." Better yet, I wish there was one that had a box where I could just type random complaints about my life and over time it would show me ads for products that might be relevant.

Well, as none of you bought into google glasses they still have to do it the old way.
