I really enjoy and appreciate the demo on the landing page.

My only problem with this as an alternative to Wordpress are the claim "Put your cursor anywhere and make changes" or "Your website will do exactly what you need it to do". I see that I can clearly change text anywhere, but how do I change the template or the layout? How do I add a three columns section?

Making changes in a visual editor like Elementor is extremely easy even for non-technical people, which is why it's so mainstream.

These two claims you mentioned are directed towards the end-user, need to make that more clear maybe. The template is aiming at frontend developers, who want to control the layout in code, but allow end-users to make content changes (without having to learn anything).

It's not a page builder for non-technical people. But as a developer or agency you can offer your clients, that you build a website for them, that they can then self-maintain without any friction.

Ooooh now I get it, and it's extremely interesting as a solution. Thanks for explaining it to me.

I could build the basic layout, and let the customer fill it in and change it without a need for supervision.
