I've tried Strikingly and really like it. I <i>would like to</i> recommend it to all of my non-technical friends who want to make simple websites but can't afford to hire someone to do it, instead opting to use things like iWeb (yes, average people actually use iWeb).<p>However. I'm apprehensive about doing so because I'm worried about Strikingly being acquired, and my non-technical friends being hung out to dry with their websites. These days it seems like any startup pre-Series B that gains traction is liable to get acquired and possibly disappear. I wouldn't want to put my non-technical friends in a situation where they have to deal with that.
How is Strikingly different from SquareSpace as far as interaction? Less features? More features?<p><a href="http://www.squarespace.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.squarespace.com/</a>
This is a great company!! We at ZenShin Capital are very excited to help tailor the service for Japan. We're also re-designing our site with Strikingly!
teng, I'm curious what direction you are immediately headed with this funding round. A deeper technical team, salespeople, bizdev, or other. HN is an open community used to sharing ideas, and I'm curious if you have anything interesting to share here. I'm hoping to, one day, get to where you are now.
