Who needs web development when you can have unique, automated websites built like this? If they could configure SEO into the arrangement, this could definitely cut down on time used to create SEO friendly, responsive websites.

They design they show look crappy, its probably for stay at home moms and wannabe businessmen and women.

The designs are in no way crappy. This looks very very interesting!

The design looks good. But after awhile if it gets really popular the concept of theme repeats itself over a ton of different websites and it would start to look boring rather than having more unique designs.

When did a website be about the personality of the owner, and not about profitability? It doesn't look like its good for monetizing unless become a large scale blogger and promote products and tell them to enter #nameofblogger sent you like how the radio hosts do.

$4.6M investment is too much for a wix site with auto theme chooser and auto color tone like Instagram.

Nice. Always interested in looking for new alternatives to leadpages and clickfunnels. These services are different compared to grid but still something I'm looking forward to. $25/month def fits my budget.

Just another tool alongside wix , ning , tumblr etc ....

It has some applications like being used instead of the leadpages, but its not the future of websites. Many old designs are still superior to anything that has been coming out lately.
