Thanks for your feedback! Our unique value proposition is that designers can build custom site templates quickly, without coding. Most existing solutions (Weebly for example) require coding html / css templates for implementing custom site design. Our target market are designers who don't have a lot of coding skills or those who don't want to deal with coding for smaller projects.

Did you do any research to validate that designers want something like this?

Yes. We did a lot of client web development work (Pinegrow evolved from there) and we often work with designers who need us to turn their designs into a functional site. Many designers are not coders and have no interest in dealing with nuances of html, css and javascript. They are very interested in Pinegrow as a development tool, backed up by good technical customer support.
