AI website builder with zero traction. Roast my positioning before I waste another 3 months.
Idea: "Build a professional website in 2 hours using AI. No code, no templates, no $10K agency bills."
Problem: Zero traction whatsoever.
Am I:
-Solving wrong problem?
-Targeting wrong people?
-Positioning it badly?
-Or is this just dead and I should quit?

Hey Kenny, tough spot to be in. I'm also figuring out my GTM for a project and hitting a wall, so I get the "zero traction" pain.
I clicked your Gumroad link. A clarifying question: Is this a course/playbook on how to build a site, or is it an AI tool that builds the site?
The promise "Build a professional website in 2 hours" is compelling, but I wasn't 100% sure if I was buying a SaaS or a "system."
If it's a system/course, maybe positioning it as a "playbook for non-tech founders to build their first site" would be clearer?
Just a thought from someone else in the trenches. Hang in there.
Traction almost always comes down to positioning, not features.
Your tool looks solid technically, but the messaging feels a bit generic.
Maybe try narrowing the audience: “personal trainers,” “local cafes,” “coaches,” etc.
The smaller I aimed at, the clearer user behaviour became in my own project.
Maybe wrong market, those using Elementor are cheap (people with money buy solutions like Webflow/Framer/Versoly/etc)
Where is your website? Where are examples?
