Dear HN,

A bit over two years ago, this community helped my brother and I take little more than a dream and a barely-working prototype [1] and turn it into a fledgling product that we were able to launch that same summer.

From Day 1, we wanted to empower designers to build complex database-driven websites visually, but it took us another 18 months of engineering to make this work the way we envisioned. We're incredibly proud to start rolling it out today, and would love to hear your feedback!

Cheers, Vlad

This looks good and would be better as a Show HN. I suggest you try reposting it yourself in a few days, and include the above text as a comment in that thread too.

So excited for this! We use Webflow to power our web site over at http://www.payable.com. None of our devs have touched it. That's a huge time savings. Excited to now apply it to our blog and much more in the future!

How do the 'generated' sites rank in search engines? I suppose you can tweak the templates if you know what you're doing but I wonder how they perform, right out of the gate.

Looks very slick, guys :)
