I used the term "serverless" as people here are mostly developers and already know this term. The page builder is part of the serverless web publishing solution. It can generate website themes with editable pages, each theme in a separate repository. People can import/upload the repository, navigate to the page to edit, and make a website quickly. This is an example work-in-progress theme https://toffee-and-coffee.gitlab.io/index.goandmake.html https://toffee-and-coffee.gitlab.io/index.goandmake.html. It is ready for people to play with too.
For end users we show how simple and easy it is, and we do not emphasize on "serverless". End users do not care. They may not even know what is a server or database. But people do love simple and easy ways.
When we talk to potential users, one of the first questions is "how to install it"? They are amused by the idea to start editing without installation.
One of our users runs her own online retail business in addition to looking after school age children. She has been hoping for a website to show her products since 10 years ago, and is quite excited about being able to edit something on the phone when she has spare time. She has a laptop but has hardly anytime to use it during the day.
For people always on the go like her who have little access to a desktop/laptop computer, the serverless page builder is a great convenience. People can edit, preview result, even without internet connection. When the page is done, just upload and publish, even from a phone.
Most static site generators won't run on a phone. The page builder does.
