Your biggest hurdle will probably be getting noticed. When people search for "how to build a website", they'll see a lot of references to wordpress or squarespace. How will they find out about your alternative?
- adamtaa 14y agoThis is why i haven't really gotten into it. Getting noticed is quite difficult with all of the noise. Folks interested in this should form some kind of collective/conglomerate etc.
- hkarthik 14y agoTo me this is where targeting the niche really comes in. Instead of going for people searching for "how to build a website" I would go for "church websites" or the equivalent for the niche. The templates would be pretty boiler plate, and really have room only for changing copy or maybe some very limited color scheme choices. The target customer wouldn't be someone that would want to customize their HTML or CSS. If a customer came with those requirements, I would quickly point them to Squarespace or another up market competitor since I couldn't meet their needs (at least initially).
