I've seen a lot of posts about personal blogs and RSS lately. Reading all the comments here on HN, I was constantly thinking "yes, this is what I offer with Hey Homepage".
So now seems like a good time to introduce the Hey Homepage website builder and it's functions. Plus the fact that now everybody can start a FREE website. Whether you use it as a microblog, a webshop, an info site, a photobook, an RSS reader, etc.
Hey Homepage offers:
- Design it yourself - by finetuning the different style elements, by easily picking one of the preset styles, or by quickly throwing random colors together
- Responsive layout - works on desktops, tablets and smartphones
- Create content - pages, texts, images, videos, products, blogposts, timeline posts, etc.
- Visitor stats - internetfriendly visitor stats; without tracking people and no annoying cookie banners
- Forms - flexible forms you create yourself; to use as a contactform, a signup form, a request form, etc.
- Shop - sell physical goods, digital files, or service appointments; get paid by IBAN, Paypal or Bitcoin
- Blog - write longform content, about whatever you like
- RSS (Really Social Sites) - a microblog, a timeline with feed, a built-in RSS reader, shared links; the web is already social media!
Come try it out, it's free and it's fun!
P.S. Hey Homepage can be free, because we make money with a premium offer of the website builder and our design services for devs.
So, um, you seem like a nice guy? But gosh, your marketing skills may need a little bit of work.
So if I can tell correctly, you are reselling hosting services from (as you say in your comments) cheap providers. Then maybe you are having a page layout designer the client can access? This is an okay idea - there are many. But your front page (heyhomepage.com) has a picture of a woman and a caption "so easy anyone can do it". This is offensive. You say it is free but at the bottom it says it is 17 euro per month. The page is so simple, no one will want to make a page like that! Your information on there lists basic reasons someone might want a webpage, but they already know that! May I suggest... rethinking the idea completely? Are you a hosting provider? Are you designing web design software? You might do better as an affiliate reseller. Also, RSS is not Really Social Sites, it is Really Simple Syndication.
I know this is not the feedback you wanted, but I guess its better than being ignored. Best of luck with the next idea!
