Show HN: The pricing of a site generator like Squarespace, but done by hand

• midito 10y ago
  More expensive than Squarespace and ugly ;(

    > and ugly I agree, it didn't leave a professional impression on me at all.

  Is there something stopping someone paying the $50 for the first month and getting a website designed by you (I'm assuming you design from scratch each time) and then cancelling my subscription and leaving with the design? Or the less sinister assumption that someone has just created a company for a cool new idea, needs a website and goes to you, then at the end of the month decides they don't want to do the company any more. Designing a full website takes for more than a few hours, you're putting yourself at quite a bit of risk if there's no tie in. And if there is a tie in, it should be clear from the start

    personally i'd just make the html be loaded by ajax and convulated as hell and that would make most people less likely to try and download the site and host it for cheap.

  From a short experience as a contract-less freelancer: People will try to take advantage of you. Once the product is finished (or close to), they will try to scrap what they can, host it on their own and stop paying you. You will need to figure a way to stop this from happening For me it was installing WordPress with themes that would ping my server. Anyone with PHP knowledge would be able to figure it out in a few hours, but it stopped most "non-technical" users from trying anything weird.
