I use Sparkpost to send emails, seems just like their links got a bad reputation, so in this case, it's just a false positive. I submitted a ticket


I use them as well. You can avoid this issue entirely by creating a "click" domain. All you have to do is set a CNAME and then your links go to your own domain instead of go.sparkpostmail1.com


Yeah thanks, this is exactly what I've done :)


A good reason to start share your stuff as soon as possible :)


Thanks for your feedback, especially for the what/why approach, it's somehow natural to think about it but showing it more explicitly might be a great point for the potential customer


You build your webpage (like you'd do it in grapesjs), which might be even your personal page, then you can decide to export it or just assign a subdomain (custom domains are not available in free accounts) and view it online


You should make it clear that you can host it on there. Just something really simple 2 steps with big icons and text under them:

1. Design your page using our simple page builder 2. We host it for you in one click (or you can choose to export it and host yourself)


Thank you very much for the advice, I'll try to make it more clear


With the free account, you can choose any subdomain and you have automatically the HTTPS enabled


Thank you very much, I'm submitting right now


Thank you, now I know what I should not change :)


Unfortunately, you might end up changing that if it increases your conversions...


Thanks for sharing, did you figure out the reasons for such a poor rate?


My paid feature tiers really targeted commercial and heavy traffic users and I simply never had any of them sign up because the actual platform functionality targeted individual free users.

There are some hard to answer questions around the type of users that need dynamic pagebuilders, and you need your paid tier to target the specific pain points of people who would pay, not just arbitrary limits on free feature usage. I built the platform for free users so that's all I ever attracted.

If I did it again, I would focus on things businesses need like product widgets, contact forms, store maps, opening hours, social integration and so on.


My main target, at the moment, should be "small businesses", so from freelancers to startups. Not sure if I'm doing that right, but I'm willing to learn


What value could they create from using your setup?


Just to point few of them: 1. Quick deploy of the site (I mean you don't need to deal with servers, installations, and stuff) 2. They can start collecting leads easily


What separates you from Squarespace or Wix? Answer that question and make the answer prominent on your page.


I was just about to ask this. “Why does the world need another web site publisher” is a general version of that question. I think you should answer both.

FYI build some alternate landing pages that are SEO’ed for “square space alternative”, etc.


Thanks for such a good feedback. Honestly, I'm a still bit confused how exactly to proceed with the point 1 but I'll try to figure that out. Thanks


If you want I can forward you the contact of a person that does exactly what you need. Just throw me an email and I'll set you up.


Looking in you niche, carrd And instapage do this pretty well.
