Sitesauce is out!

Today, after eight months of working on Sitesauce, it's finally out for everyone!

I'm super excited to share Sitesauce with the world. It's probably my biggest thing yet and it has already helped many people and will hopefully help many more.

You can check Sitesauce out on ProductHunt or learn more on the new Sitesauce website

    Isn't the design just a rip from https://www.designjoy.co ?

    Honestly the product looks good and it's normal to take design inspiration, but every page section is the same and you've used the same icons and illustrations

      Hey guys, thanks for looking out. I really appreciate it. I've addressed this with Miguel over email and asked that he make some changes when he has the time. I've made mistakes like this at a much older age than Miguel, so no hard feelings at all. :)

        Hello, I'm wondering how you built your website, is it all no-code tools?

        1. 1

          Yes, all done in Webflow!

        Glad to hear it!

        @m1guelpf - your product is great and making mistakes is normal. You clearly have an eye for design with some of your typography and colour combinations, so you'll end up with an awesome design regardless. Best of luck :).

      The illustrations are part of Scribbles, a pack of illustrations created by the DesignJoy team for public use, and the page sections are similar to DesignJoy as they are with many other SaaS pages, I just browsed through galleries of landing pages like this one and kind of took inspiration from all of them. I'm also working on a new version of the icons giving them a design that fits the rest of the landing more.

        The layout is identical - Designjoy was crated from scratch and not from a template. I use landing pages for inspiration too, I think everyone does, but normally you grab a little from each one rather than just copying the whole page.. if you load Designjoy and Sitesauce, the illustrations in the top banner hardly move, and then you have the arrow animation landing into the next section, with the exact same icons as Designjoy, plus the same button style. If you track down the page, every single one of your sections has an identical layout from Designjoy, with exception of the FAQ.

        I'm not gonna lecture you about it - I saw on ProductHunt that you're 18 so take this as a learning experience, I made a lot of mistakes at that age, don't take it to heart, making mistakes is a part of the process

      Maybe they both used the same template? I would like to give the benefit of the doubt. Can the creator weigh in?

        Response posted. Thanks.

    Well done Miguel!

    I've just seen the video and the site - looking really good.

    I'm curious as to what the paid users as using this for? Is it just cloning dynamic to static? Is it more dev focused?

    What is the primary use case for using this tool from what you've gathered?

    (Sorry about the 21 questions, just was very curious)

    Very nice job Miguel!

    Nice! Just upvoted this.

    Congrats! What made you change the design from the previous version?

      I was not entirely happy with how it looked (and honestly was procrastinating on the launch).
