Hey Hey Indies!
So, recently we have been working on building a UI Kit that helps people with little design experience build beautiful Landing pages block by block.
The goal is to allow people to quickly design a landing page layout, show it around, get feedback and swap out sections that maybe are not working.
We are also currently working on making it Build-Ready. So that, you not only design a landing page, but you then build it using basic HTML/CSS or Vue (simply copy-pasting code form our site).
Our initial launch was pretty succesful (considering it is our first time doing this) and we got about 100 buyers. But, momentum has ran out and are looking for advice on how we can continue to spread our product to those who will find it valuble to launching products.
Our initial idea was to start a blog and writing basic "how to" posts. Mainly focusing on topics founders struggle with when it comes to design. Then, at the bottom just leave a CTA back to our site.
Another idea was us taking requests, and re-building some websites using our kit. To show how it can transform landing pages quickly.
So, if you would find a blog series about common design issues would be helpful, or want to nominate your website/landing page to be redesigned using our kit, please let us know!
Alternatively, we are open to any ideas on how to start building a community/following as we would love to be a company that helps startups with various tools/tips/ideas/etc. But, we are designs so the whol "building a community" is hard for us! :D
Finally, if you have a spare 5 minutes, please check out our site. Maybe there is a way to better show off our products features too! - https://uixfiles.com/
Thanks all!!
I was searching something similar but for my angular project in UI. You seem to have what is in demand though. But I believe bloggers are your primary audience? I believe there are quite some competitors in that area (Squarespace et al).
All in all I quite feel there is so much space for WYSIWYG in SaaS, wherein the only available solution are templates from web dev agencies which still require coding skills.

Hey @vividcode, thanks for the response!
Yeah we felt that too. There are so many UI Kits around and it is quite crowded, but then you are often stuck with the "ok, i have designed it... now what?" and it has to be built from scratch. Which is one thing we are trying to combat.
So, just to clarify you think targeting bloggers themselves would be an ideal place to start? Can you expand on that a bit please?
