I don't like to be overly negative off the cuff, and hope I've just missed the secret sauce here (perhaps the messaging isn't clear on the landing page?), but:

Why pay $300 and wait 7 days when something like Themeforest charges < $50 in most cases, get it immediately, and is far more unique than a stock Bootstrap template?

Themeforest just give you the template and you have to modify it according to your needs and fill it with content. We are not selling templates, the templates are open source (Twitter Bootstrap and Foundation-Zurb) we are offering the service to build your website around that template and modify it to suit your need. Also if you choose the Advance plan we will create theme for the CMS.

I see - I was probably looking at it from my own perspective, which is not your target audience.

I'm not sure the reception you're going to get on HN is reflective of your customer demographic. I think most people here can and would just run up their own pretty easily.

I guess your audience (I just noticed you include hosting) are those without the technical ability to do this work themselves, as opposed to those who could, but don't have the time or other resources to do so.

All the best with it :)

Thanks.

And yes, the people who read Hacker News are not our target audience.
