One quick bit of feedback - i'm not as likely to try it out if i have to register first. Create a demo area where i can play, but not save and use that as bait

Same opinion here. Was going to try it out, but got scared away by the registration form

  Is it your general feeling about registration forms or there is something particularly wrong with my form? Thanks

    Not the original commenter but I rarely sign up for things just to try out a product unless I'm already sure it's going to solve my problem. I don't know how they're going to use my email. Are they going to send me useless emails in the future even if I decide that I'm not interested in the product? Are they going to make me confirm my email instead of letting me right in to try it? If I don't like the product can I delete my account or do I just have to forget about it? I like when I can try out a product with as little friction as possible. To be completely honest when this happens it can sway my decision to use the product.

I was always pretty proud of my now defunct side project's flow. You could build the whole page right from the homepage, but to save it you had to register (otherwise who would the page belong to). It had a really great conversion rate from click to account, but a poor rate from account to paid customer hence why it didn't work out.

  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.
