Building landing pages is what I do for a living. I've been building something similar, a landing page editor of sorts, though it's a bit more advanced and requires knowledge of HTML and CSS, less the actual editing done on the page.

I love concept of what you have built. It's very basic but I really like the simplicity and use of white space. And it's especially great for onboarding those who don't need or want to write/know HTML or CSS knowledge in order to use it.

Seems you're still way early in the beta stages as I'm getting errors:

Something went wrong! Try again

But you are definitely on the right path. Stick to editing on page, more color theme availability would be great, even a dark theme, or several more contrasts would be nice. I don't see the abiliy to drag and drop but I'd like to be able to move a section up or down.

It always nice to give things away for free or have a free version of something, though stick with the idea of charging something ... keeps you motivated to add more stuff as you evolve... so the $12 a month could be a great start with an even more featured-ladden plan added.

I was not able to view a "live version" of my landing page so I can't provide too much more feedback other than on the generator and editing itself. I do see a great product in the works!

Hi Matt, thanks for taking the time to test it out for giving detailed feedback!

It looks like your page triggered a bug in our publish flow. I've applied a fix and so your published site should be working again now.

Thanks for the encouragement and the suggestions, it's great to hear from someone who builds landing pages from a living! They're all good suggestions and we'll keep them in mind as we iterate on the product.
