I don't know (you'll have to see the response from the market) but based on the content of your site, I'd worry you're positioning yourself in a no man's land between non-technical small business owners (who will see you as expensive compared to cheaper and better established site builder offerings) and more technical business owners (who will see you as expensive for what you offer).
Some feedback on your site:
> Subscribe to a plan and send a detailed request about your business through Slack.
I'd guess many small business owners don't know what Slack is, and would expect you to drive the process before they pay you. Specifically, why would a business subscribe before they've had an interaction with you and developed confidence that you can meet their expectations?
> We use Webflow, which means we design in a real staging environment
This is mumbo jumbo to the average small business owner.
> Your website is specially designed for you, and it's yours for life.
What does this mean? What happens if I don't want to pay you anymore? Is it still my website?
Also:
1. You FAQ page states "startups that require complex features like database integration, chat systems, dashboards, and thousands of APIs should please not bother signing up" but a lot of small business owners won't understand what these things are. Are you really targeting small businesses or startup founders who for whatever reason don't want to build their own website?
2. A lot of things are really vague. For instance, what's the difference between "Standard" and "Priority" support? And "Standard" versus "Enhanced" "SSL and security built-in"?
3. $79/month for no more than 10 pages, no analytics???
4. Your latest projects don't contain links to actual websites.
5. There's no mention of whether business owners can edit the content of their website on their own. In my experience, this is probably one of their biggest requirements.
6. "Site optimization (SEO)" is listed as included in all packages. I'm guessing what you consider SEO might differ from what a lot of business owners consider SEO because it's impossible to provide actual SEO services for $79/month.
7. Unlimited revisions could really come back to bite you. Death by a thousand small cuts.
