darkhorse13 - Thank you for your feedback. I just took a look at them, and the Stripe site is way nicer than ours! :) I will keep your feedback in mind as we move forward. Thanks for taking the time to visit the site. FYI - We used the Argon theme from https://www.creative-tim.com/ if you are interested.

Ah I see. Seems like they were the ones who took "heavy inspiration".

Yeah, after you mentioned it, I put ours side by side with stipe, and yeah, they look alike. Not like we tried to do that or anything. We are way more focused on the editor and making sure that works well.

To be honest and having been there before you, it's not a good idea. You entered a crowded space with a product that do not yield blatant differentiation. Your marketing, brand image and storytelling are the only things that will lead users to your app.

I don't think web developers will elect a newborn CMS, trust that it doesn't fail for the 5 or more years, if you don't convince them your CMS and the company behind it is future proof. And on that matter, your landing page and your documentation matter more than everything else. Invest time and money in it.
