Redesigned the entire UI on the weekend
by Miguel PiedrafitaThe Sitesauce UI was originally designed during the MVP phase, and hadn't really been updated since then. It had a few stylistic issues and wasn't responsive, so I set out to rebuild the entire UI in the weekend. Overall, I was really happy with how it turned out! Here's a video preview.

The new design looks really clean. Have you found any disadvantages to using tailwind css?

Not really, I've been using it for two years now and completely love it!

Looks good.
- For the landing page I would add after the hero section a list of sites it works with ghost, wordpress and any other major CMS.
- Would move the how does it work up
- Add an FAQ (Zeit offers 20gb and that isn't actually that much)
- Get rid of early access if the product works it works :)
- Testimonial from your first customer would be good
Going to be interesting to see what you do with pricing.
Also why did you pick tidio?

- If you wait a bit you'll see the list of supported CMSs is included in the hero.
- Wouldn't you say it's more important to say what Sitesauce offers you than how it's done?
- I'll add a FAQ to the landing an an extended FAQ to the documentation that's now in progress
- I'm keeping early-access 'cause I want to manually onboard people for now to make sure everything's smooth & ready to go before opening it up for everyone
- I was actually going to ask them today, so expect that really soon!
I picked Tidio because I wanted to try it out, and can always switch it over later.

- I think if they're coming to the site they know the benefits of a static site? But they might not know how you will do it.
- It looks like I can just sign up?

I'm not sure what the old design looked like but I really like the new design.
The only issue I noticed was the videos next to the "1. Add your site" and "3. Configure your domain" sections are not very readable. I had to open them up in a new tab to really see what's going on.
Lastly, as a user it's a little difficult for me to imagine how I might benefit from the product if I had a Wordpress site. In my experience, most Wordpress sites are already hosted somewhere and all the content is created in a hosted database. The question kept running though my head, would I be able to make new blog posts without needing to pay for Wordpress hosting?

Thanks! I need to update the videos and work on making them more readable :D
For now you'd still need to have a hosted Wordpress instance somewhere (tho you could use a smaller server) but I'm working on how to eliminate that requirement.

I like it, it's clear and simple and it looks nice!
Only one think, but i think it's a personal one. For me the header (navigation and to part below) is a bit to height. In my opinion it eats up to much space in comparison to the advantage, especially on small screens.
But in general nice one!
