After talking to small business owners, I realized website creation isn't the real problem

Most website builders focus on helping people launch a website.

But when I spoke with business owners, I noticed something interesting.

Launching wasn't their biggest challenge.

Keeping the website updated was.

A new service gets added.
Prices change.
A promotion starts.
Content becomes outdated.

And suddenly they need a freelancer again.

It made me wonder if AI website builders are solving the wrong problem.

Maybe generating the first version of a website isn't where the biggest value is.

Maybe the real value is helping people continuously update and improve their websites without technical skills.

Curious if anyone else building in this space has noticed the same thing.

Where can I find buyers for my e-commerce platform?

I'm building an e-commerce platform that helps local shops create their own online store while synchronizing inventory across multiple marketplaces from a single dashboard.

My challenge now is finding my first customers. Since the platform is aimed at local retailers and small businesses, I'm trying to understand the best ways to reach them.

For those who have launched SaaS or e-commerce products:

  • Where did you find your first paying customers?
  • What marketing channels worked best?
  • Did you focus on local outreach, online communities, SEO, partnerships, or something else?

I'd appreciate any advice or lessons learned.

Website to find interesting websites (like early Buzzfeed)

Way back when, Buzzfeed used to be excellent to find new and interesting websites / articles.

It was crowdsourced.

Is there a website that is similar these days?

Conversion problem with website, seeking advice

I’m trying to improve my web design skills, and I'm struggling to figure out what I can improve or change on this Framer website. I don't have a highly trained eye to catch all the details yet. I usually try new things on my drafts to improve my skills, but figuring out why this site isn't converting has been very difficult.

If you have a few minutes to look at my website and share your opinion about it, that would be amazing.

  • Is it about the design itself?
  • Is it about the copy?
  • Is it something else?

Here’s the link : https://www.nuvostud.io/

What platform would you use for this?

I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction because I’m going round in circles.

I need to create simple mobile-friendly pages for different clients. Each page would follow the same basic format, with photos and around 8 sections containing text, images, links or documents.

I need to be able to duplicate the same setup for each client, and ideally let them log in later and update their own information without being able to change the design.

I’m not at all technical and don’t have a huge budget for a custom build.

Someone suggested WordPress. Would that be the sensible route, or is there a platform better suited to this?

I got tired of tool websites asking for signups, so I made my own: Would love some brutal feedback

To be honest, I was getting really annoyed every time I needed to do something simple like compress an image or convert a pdf. You google it and immediately get hit with ads, or they want you to make an account just to download your file. Plus, uploading personal stuff to random servers always felt super sketchy to me.

After dealing with this for a while, I just decided to build a massive toolbox for myself. Everything runs completely locally in the browser, so no servers, no signups, and nothing gets uploaded anywhere.

So I put it all together on https://footrue.com If anything feels broken or you think of something I should add, just drop a comment here.

Happy to return the favor and check out your projects too! Thank you!

Would anyone mind giving me some honest feedback on my website?

Hi everyone,
I’ve been building my first SaaS over the last few months and finally launched it a couple of weeks ago.
Since then I’ve already changed the homepage a few times because every bit of feedback seems to make me realise something else I completely missed. I think I’ve reached the point where I’m too close to it to judge it properly.

If anyone has 5–10 minutes, I’d really appreciate some honest opinions.

Does it make sense what the website actually does?
Did anything confuse you?
Does it feel trustworthy?
Is there anything that would make you leave straight away?

I’m genuinely not looking for customers here. I’d just rather hear the harsh feedback now than realise six months from now that everyone was confused but nobody told me.

The site is: https://mrpenetrator.com

Thanks in advance. I really do appreciate anyone who takes the time to have a look.

Flashback to the golden era of the internet! Found in a little cabin in the mountains in Northern Thailand.

I booked a little cabin for the weekend in a remote village in northern Thailand and came across this wonderful nostalgia. All the books in the cabin were computer, software, dev related – also had books on Photoshop and Illustrator CS2.

Fun to flick through but a shame I can't read Thai yet 😂

Looking for honest feedback on the Music discovery platform I’m currently building.

I built a free Apple Music/Spotify companion app/site called MatchBeats that recommends music based on other users with similar tastes and I’d love some honest feedback. Due to recent dev account limitation updates I can’t accept any more Spotify users until they approve my quota increase request.

https://matchbeats.com

The idea started because I was frustrated that music discovery is mostly algorithm-driven. Apple Music and other services can recommend songs, but they can’t really tell you:

“Who has music taste similar to mine?”

MatchBeats analyzes your Apple Music listening history and:

• Finds people with similar music taste
• Shows why you match (artists, tracks, genres, and recent listening)
• Helps you discover artists and songs your matches love that you haven’t heard yet
• Lets you discuss artists and tracks with other fans

My biggest question:

Would you personally use something like this, or is music discovery already solved for you by Apple Music recommendations?

I’d genuinely appreciate the feedback.

Can you give me advice for improving my website?

https://hen-bronze-d725.squarespace.com/

I am working on an online portfolio for my art via squarespace, please let me know what I should improve.

Unfortunately phones do not seem to display the website how I edit them for vertical viewing, so viewing via laptop is better.

I got tired of using 10 different JSON tools, so I'm trying to understand what developers actually need.

I've been working with APIs a lot recently, and one thing keeps annoying me.

Whenever I need to debug a JSON response, I end up opening multiple websites.

One for validation.

Another for formatting.

Another for comparing two JSON files.

Another for repairing invalid JSON.

It made me wonder - why is this workflow still so fragmented?

Before I spend time building something for myself, I'd rather understand how other developers handle it.

So I have a few questions:

  • What's your go-to JSON tool?
  • What feature do you wish existing JSON tools had?
  • What's the most frustrating JSON-related problem you've run into?
  • Is there something you end up doing manually that should be automated?

I'm collecting ideas because I'm building a free JSON toolkit as a side project, and I'd rather solve real problems than recreate tools that already exist.

Any feedback or pain points would be genuinely helpful.

How to genuinely make better websites? I'm a complete beginner, any tips on mine?

So, I'm new to this. Two days ago I bought a domain and hosting for my portfolio website, and I started using WordPress and building my site. This is my first time actually trying to build a site from scratch (well, templates) rather than using AI website builders or drag and drop like Wix.

If you would have the time to check someone's website and share how I could improve it, please let me know in the comments.

People started using my map app's claim notes to advertise their projects, so I built them a live feed

I run tile.today, you claim real 50x50m squares of Earth by physically standing in them (first claim each day is free). I gave claims an optional note field expecting little diary entries. Instead people immediately started dropping links to their print shops, apps, soundclouds and portfolios. So I leaned in and there's now a live activity feed on the main map showing every claim as it happens, note and all, to everyone browsing. If you want your project on it, it costs a walk outside. Screenshot of what it looks like right now attached.
