@Strikingly: Well I didn't know of it. Will do a quick check. What we noticed was that the actual text content in site is small and there is no point in having multiple webpages (one for home, contact, etc. ). Instead in Webbify, you just have themes which offer you single page flow or tabbed designs which are actually just a single page. So anytime a person visits your site and clicks on a different tab - there is no page load, the content is already there. Interesting, well the pencil was the most relevant favicon. Will keep this in mind.

You need to pivot. Websites such as these are basically a relic from the past. (unless you need to have one. eg: Web Developer, Designer, etc). It's not like there are a dearth of tools to make them either (there are tons more than Strikingly).

  If you don't mind can you elaborate on 'you need to pivot' ?

    Change direction using this product as a base. Instagram was a pivot, original release was not what it is known for today. Twitter was sort of a pivot.

    Web presence isn't much of an issue now than it was earlier. About.me / Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn have solved the problem of creating a web identity for an individual, and most of these go above and beyond in various aspects. Do you think Webbify is solving a valid problem that many people face?

    I'm not sure if I agree with the sentiment that you need to pivot. There is a huge need to create a website by individuals and companies. Not everyone wants a social media page. http://www.weebly.com/ http://www.weebly.com/ and http://www.wix.com/ http://www.wix.com/ Very successful sites and in the same space as you. http://techcrunch.com/2013/08/24/as-wix-heads-toward-ipo-weebly-looks-to-expand-with-big-new-sf-headquarters-plans-to-add-500-employees/ http://techcrunch.com/2013/08/24/as-wix-heads-toward-ipo-wee... Your site design was very clean and I was initially interested. The only deterrent for me was the FB login.

  I agree that there is a need to keep other OAuth options + username/password based registration - this will be added surely :) I just didn't answer again as I had answered in another comment thread - and then the threads got reordered
