Hi, thank you!

Great question, I don't think I realized how many website builders there are before I started working on Airsite :D Just on Product Hunt: there is another one launching today, and one yesterday.

I think the main differentiator now is that it's mobile-first, there are not that many of those and even fewer good ones.

The problem with the mobile focus is that building a website is kind of too complex of a task for mobile. Not having a mouse/keyboard and having all your controls on the same small mobile screen makes everything so much harder.

So, to summarize, I'm differentiating by focusing on mobile, but there are some trade-offs in that focus that make it harder to build a good product. I hope not impossible. I guess we'll see :)

FYI on Firefox mobile (preview and stable) your site overflows horizontally by a few hundred px. Also your testimonials made me laugh and admire your chutzpah, which may not be the effect you're going for :)

Haha, yeah, definitely not the effect I was going for :) They are real though, but I see what you mean, lots of room for improvement.

Thanks for the note, fixing Firefox!
