   Hey Drew, thanks for the feedback! I guess one thing to bear in mind is that I started this off with the European (particularly Spanish) market in mind. Leads are super important here too but many agents here also have a problem with webs

   What if part of the problem is bad technology like twitter which encourages sensationalist politics?

   Right - and what can be done with tech to help sift true facts from lies and exaggerations?

   But seriously, is there not some way to use technology to: -fact check claims by politicians more quickly and accurately -counter the "twittering" of politics (encourage more nuanced explanations of the issues) -more accurately fi

   Thanks. Good point about leads - I can see the value of offering a more comprehensive service that could include SEO optimisation and help with lead generation. I am also open to partnering with other stakeholders. I thing I thought of ea

   Good points. In Spain there are certainly estate agents who could benefit from a decent website. This agency is just round the corner from where I live: http://madridinmo.com/ Its ran by a rather elderly (and very nice I

    I'm not exactly sure how I would determine if some other market is a better or worse opportunity than real estate. The few customers I have had are happy but I would need 50x adoption to make it worthwhile.

    And another vote for not open sourcing ;) Will be interested in hearing more about your experience so I'll drop you a line. I started off with the Spanish market just because its where I live but it may not be the best for this product

    Thanks for the feedback - so another vote for "don't open source" then ;) I heard of restaurantengine a while back but just had another look at Brian Cassel's blog and realised he makes some interesting points - like not

    I am actively looking for someone to work with but its hard to convince people without a budget. Ah and to your question about if I researched the market beforehand - someone in the industry convinced me there was a market and I guess I wan

    Wow, this is the sort of detailed constructive feedback I love to get - thanks so much! You make a good argument that I haven't really done a good job of selling my site and I have to agree with you. I hate the marketing side of thing

    My solution to the problem of not knowing which framework to learn was to pick an open source product that I liked and learn the stack it uses. In my case I experimented with Discourse for various projects for about a year and as I result I

    Thanks for the advice. I'll ask on a few more forums. Regarding my comment, I do make it clear that my primary reason for picking it is that it has a connection to website builders for the property sector. The fact that it sounds lik

    Thanks for trying it out and the quick feedback - awesome. I found out when working with some customers here that people disagreed a lot on what colors work well together. In the end I figured the quickest way to get off the ground would be

    Would also be interested in hearing what people think of the name. It is a reference to building a property website with little (wee) bricks (brix) but also happens to sound a bit like wix and weebly ;)
