The Problem - It's Hard to Build a Website

It's hard to get started. In fact, it's so hard that our competitors even get it wrong.

You need a lot of knowledge to build a successful website.

You can hire a developer, designer, and social media manager but it's expensive.

There are so many obsolete and not complete tools that doesn't fulfill clients' needs.

Shopify Series B $22MGreat product but is outdated. Lack things to put on page.

IntuitNo longer updated. Broken. Doesn't work.

Yahoo StoresOut of it time. A piece that should belong in a museum.

I'm sorry. It's not the 1990s anymore. Why don't they fix it?

Some of our competitors are so bad that you have to hire a developer in order to get anything started.

On top of that you end up paying $50/month. Some of our competitors don't state that you have to go get your

own merchant account which can cost you another $30/month.

Our Competitors are Obsolete and Broken

The Fix - Keep It Simple StupidWe made it easy that even a 6 year-old can build a store and

sell things.

Our interface is straightforward, sexy, and clean. We try to not put too many buttons in front of you.

Even our metrics look pretty.

Through our platform, it is easy to update content and manage.

Our ecommerce is the easiest to use.

Don't let our simplicity fool you. We pack a powerful punch.

Underneath this simplicity are useful blocks that make you feel

like James Bond.

Our Secret SauceIt's not a secret really. We have a great product. People

like it. They pay us.

But if you insist, our technology is second to none. We utilize Node.js, built servers that auto-replicate to

demand, cache, and tweak some database shardings meaning our stuff scales!

Our sales and support team are really, really good at what they do.
