Nice. This is exactly one of the service-as-a-software's I have on my small business idea list. The main reason I haven't pursued it is that it doesn't sound like any fun, really. At the end of the day you're essentially running a design/development agency and everyone else's headaches become yours.<p><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/0h927a8yfzfq88e/Screenshot%202015-10-27%2021.29.26.png?dl=0" rel="nofollow">https://www.dropbox.com/s/0h927a8yfzfq88e/Screenshot%202015-...</a> < from my list<p>Obviously you know about wpcurve. They appear to bill 75k-125k monthly (somewhere in that range. I'm estiguessing).<p>They claim to have ~38 people involved. I can't really get the numbers to work if that's accurate and they are all full-time, but assuming otherwise, I have to imagine that the owner (if Dan is the only one) takes home 25-50k per month or that a similar amount is split if there are two owners. Obviously I'm leaving asset appreciation/salability out of projections.<p>Reach out to Dan if you haven't and learn as much as you can from him. He basically knows all the problems you will encounter.<p>It will be a tough road but this business seems like a very safe bet. Good luck.<p>I think magento would be a great market for this as well.<p>edit: I just looked at your pricing. With your pricing you don't need to worry at all about profitability. Note that wpcurve has a 3-month minimum. They didn't when they launched. I think this was probably a hard lesson that they had to learn and you should probably adopt the same rule once you are a little established if not immediately. Otherwise people will take advantage.
Hi HN, I founded ShopManager as a side-project after finding that a lot of my clients were asking for a service similar to this.<p>Happy to answer any questions you might have. Thanks!
