Comments on: Y Combinator Challenge #29 – Easy Site Builders for Specific Markets http://astartupaday.com/2008/09/25/y-combinator-challenge-29-easy-site-builders-for-specific-markets/ Each day I'll post an idea for a new Web 2.0 startup Wed, 03 Mar 2010 00:13:45 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Vasudev Ram http://astartupaday.com/2008/09/25/y-combinator-challenge-29-easy-site-builders-for-specific-markets/#comment-3614 Vasudev Ram Sat, 27 Sep 2008 17:05:46 +0000 http://astartupaday.wordpress.com/2008/09/25/y-combinator-challenge-29-easy-site-builders-for-specific-markets/#comment-3614 Its a good idea. I like the addition of being able to download the source code and wire it up to your backend code of choice - might make it a useful productivity tool for developers. One suggestion by me - you said it would use a wizard with a series of steps. It might be useful to have the ability to do some of the steps - at least those that don't have dependencies with/on other steps - at random, and also to be able redo any such step any number of times - e.g. change the color scheme, choose the number of columns, change the color scheme again, choose the font, change the color scheme again, etc. The reason, of course, being that you might not like your earlier choice and want to change it. Of course this feature would add some complexity to the code of the site builder ... - Vasudev Its a good idea.

Definitely one of the more immediate/practical/money making ideas, to my eye, but then again I may not be a great judge. OK yeah this is a good one.
