Looking for freelancers to test my new website builder tool!

https://beyondlightcreations.com/website-builder-beta-list/

Hey everyone,

My name is Rashad Russell. I am a web designer and run an agency called Beyond Light Creations.

I want to build a new website builder targeted towards freelancers.

If this sounds interesting, please sign up to be an early adopter/beta-tester when we launch.

    Tough market, you need MVP or at least some mockups!
    Don't promise - deliver.

    1. 1

      I agree with that.

    2. 1

      Yes, I will work on mockups to share before I start developing.

    Happy to test. Also interested in potentially collaborating!

      Awesome! Thank you for signing up @timnoetzel!

      I'm open to hearing what you had in mind. I'll send you an email, and we can take it from there.

    Hey Rashad, when I clicked on the link I expected to have a builder in front of me which i could try right away but there is no way to test the builder if I dont have access to it yet.

    Despite that, the pitch video is a little too long and doesnt really "pitch" your product. It doesnt name features and is explained a little blurry and confusing in my eyes.

    I'd encourage you to change this up a little. Aside from that, best of luck with the builder ! :)

      Was wondering if I should go short or long with the video. I at least tried not to bury the lead in the beginning in case it was long. Thanks for the feedback!

    This has been a project that I've wanted to build for quite some time. I've used pretty much all of the major website builders, but I still think there is room to improve the freelancer/client experience when building and managing websites.

    I identified 6 targeted areas of improvement so far, but want others to share their interests and feedback.

    I look to improve the following 6 areas:

    1. Adding more native freelancer tools
    2. Increasing design range & flexibility without needing code
    3. Increasing development range & flexibility without needing code
    4. Improving version control experience
    5. Improving collaboration experience between client, freelancer, and individual contributors (i.e. SEO specialists, copywriters, designers, etc.)
    6. Decoupling design, content, and data layer

    I'd love to hear your feedback as well. I will probably create a Notion board and Slack channel for those who signup to the mailing list.
