The first problem I saw was that I didn't see anything compelling about the management tools, which is really the product you're offering. The Grid (http://thegrid.io http://thegrid.io) provides a service for generating your site and will generate static assets for you. I believe they'll host it as well, though I haven't had a chance to use it yet. Their service has a totally compelling pitch (such that they've had 10's of thousands of pre-orders). I currently host some sites at Dreamhost. They manage my WordPress installation for me. So, it's self-hosted in that I have complete control over the files in my account but it is also automatically managed. And the WordPress is pretty capable. In the end, I think it boils down to "who is this for?" A total tech person could just generate a site locally with jekyll and then rsync it to their server. A non-technical person would rather use Squarespace or WordPress.com and be done with it.
