Hello, please download and have a look at this user's manual.
http://minisiteframework.com/_Mini_Site_Framework.pdf
This is the user's manual for a new product I have created. I'm putting together my pitch page and whatnot right now, the product is under review at clickbank. So far I've been keeping it kind of quiet, but I'm having a dilemma, so I've decided to just start sharing as much info as I can. I have to learn how to pitch this thing.
This product is not like anything on clickbank, and so far it seems to be confusing the people I show it to. I'm very unhappy about this, of course.
I know I can go down into the scripting or design forums and find people who will understand the product, but that's really beside the point. I need some marketers to understand it, of course, if I'm ever going to get it sold.
This product is targeted at a relatively narrow niche. It's targeted at webmasters, whether they are marketers or not, who are capable site designers, who design and host their own stuff (primarily) or are paid to design/host sites for others. Even more specifically, it's for someone who doesn't want, or enjoy, a WYSIWYG tool.
If you don't use dreamweaver because it slows you down or creates code you don't like to read, we need to talk.
If you are designing landers and you would like to end up with a mini-site instead of a single page (and still do less work) we need to talk.
If you design/build/deploy mini sites , announcement pages, landers, etc... for other people, we really need to talk. I plan to be generous on my commercial licensing terms i.e. unlimited deployment for paying customers with purchase, no direct resale of the product is allowed but you can use it for every one of your customer sites if you want. I will also cross-promote if you wish.
There is a huge aftermarket for this product. Properly templated, people who don't make websites will love the tiny, no database, interactive minisites you can create with this script. Once the product gets rolling, I plan to sell template packs as low-priced addons, some of which I hope to do as JV or cross-promotional products with designers.
I'm going to point out some layout demos. These are not pretty, I know. at best, I'm a mediocre graphical designer. The point, however, is the layout, not my cheesy graphics. Here is what a default installation looks like, after it's been poplulated with some copy:
http://default.minisiteframework.com/
There are no graphics in that design, except for the "sample photos" it's a 100% CSS layout. The next templates will give you an idea of the number of things you can do with this script:
http://template1.minisiteframework.com/ (shows how the drop-ins are used to create decorative borders, serves no other purpose)
http://template2.minisiteframework.com/ (shows the script configured as a "news site" with some urgent bulletins)
http://template3.minisiteframework.com/ (shows the script configured as a faux blog)
http://template4.minisiteframework.com/ (shows the site set up as a "brochure" style mini site)
As you can see the script is about flexibility and saving time for the experienced webmaster/designer. Once the template packs start to roll out, it may become a great sale to newer web masters and beginning designers who just want to upload the site and add their content.
So there you have it, and it's coming to market this week. Please, absolutely, share any feedback you have. If you have questions I'll try and answer them.
If you're just completely boggled by what this is, don't bother to insult me over it please
I will try and answer your questions if you care enough to ask.
