Congrats on the launch, it's obvious a lot of work went into this :-)<p>My initial reaction: cool idea, I've seen it done a couple times before, what does this offer that's different? I wasn't able to get that from the landing page so I watched the video.<p>Watching the video, I was excited because if I could make a good looking proposal without much effort, that'd be helpful. But from the video I got the idea that there isn't much functionality and the output isn't on par with my own quality expectations.<p>Here's what I would've like to see:<p>1 - A few real live demos. I don't like watching videos, and I don't see examples in the live site. I just want to answer my first burning question of "How cool is the output?"<p>2- What other tools do we get in the editor? Some basic things like a table of contents would be mandatory. Something like a slider would be nice, but then you're becoming a bit of a Wix clone if adding a bunch of html widgets.<p>3 - Why not make it free? You need feedback more than you need money at this point, IMO.<p>4 - The branding, the name, is solid.<p>Your killer feature will probably come from the feedback you get. If I had to guess, it'd be an integration and not something 'sexy.' Agencies I work with already have systems they follow and a product owner wouldn't swap to a service unless it either provided massive value, or was able to read PDFs or Google Doc files and make them look good on the web.
Love the idea. It's simple, does a specific thing and seems to do it well.<p>A couple of suggestions:<p>1. Maybe have the 'DEMO' tab be more visible on the landing page. like a big "try it out" button would be nice. I had to loiter around for a minute or two to notice the demo button hidden away in the top. Also, maybe let people preview the demo before needing to signup or commit in any way.<p>2. Gifs on the landing page. It makes a huge difference. People don't want to click on videos. But gifs auto-load which is great. (Legit speaking from experience and stats, we did user studies to confirm this...but it is to an extent, common knowledge in the UX world)<p>3. Think about finding a way to export PPTs to your editor. Most proposals get made in Powerpoint, so giving your user a convenient way to bring preexisting work into your environment is IMO, the fastest way to get new users. Especially the non-techy kind who have all the $monies$.
A few questions I'd like to see answered<p>1) who is the proposal for? What type of proposal is this ideal for?<p>My initial thinking was a client proposal like for a marketing agency, but then I figured they can probably need to WOW the customer more than this proposal doc would.<p>2) Why not just use SquareSpace, Wix, or other html page builder? What benefit do they have in using this?<p>Somebody else in a similar space is Qwilr.com, have you seen them?<p>I think you're probably on to something, but I'm not completely getting it. Congrats on the launch!
If he makes money with this, then it's a prime example of how you can turn an idea that exists and make it better (Google Docs can do something like this as well).
I'm confused, perhaps by the title more than the product, is there any functionality that actually converts documents into websites. Or is it just a web editor, to products simple web pages?
