About this appAI proposal
Sitewright is a browser-based workspace for people who build small websites: freelance developers, designers and DIY builders. Start from a clean template, edit pages and components, preview at phone and desktop sizes, and publish to a link you can share with a client.
It is a modern alternative to older PHP-era website tools that have stopped keeping up. Projects are plain files you can export at any time, so you are never locked in. Checks for broken links, missing titles and heavy images run while you work, not after launch.
It installs as a web app, works on any laptop and keeps working when your connection drops. Pricing is a simple monthly or yearly subscription for individuals.

- Why this name
- A wright is a maker, as in wheelwright. Sitewright is a plain, pronounceable name for someone who makes sites by hand.

An estimate, not an offer or financial advice. A real price depends on profit, growth, churn, how much of the work is the owner's, and the buyer.
How it would growAI proposal
How the product would reach new customers through its own use, and how the first ones would be found. A plan to test, not a result.
- Built-in loop
- Shared outputs. Freelancers send preview links and publish sites to clients. Free-tier sites and preview pages carry a small 'Built with Sitewright' note that links back.
- Do they become customers?
- Clients who open a preview are often small business owners who could become DIY customers, but many will only see it once. Test whether the handoff mode converts clients into signups.
- First customers
- US freelance web designers who build 3 to 10 small-business sites a year and hand them to non-technical clients.
- Where to reach them
- Freelancer communities: Share a free launch-check tool and answer questions in web design forums and groups.
- Search content: Publish guides on site checklists and client handoff, matching the organic search habits of this audience.
- First milestone
- Ten paying freelancers on the Maker tier within 90 days of launch, each with at least one client site live.

RisksAI inference
- CommercialEvidence shows one small business with falling revenue (-23% over 12 months). Demand for a paid tool in this space may be weak against free site builders.
- TechnicalA visual editor that also keeps clean, exportable code is hard to get right, and offline sync with conflict handling adds more work.
- CommercialThe existing audience came from organic search. A new product has no such traffic and must earn rankings or find another channel.
- PlatformHosting customer-published sites invites abuse such as phishing pages and needs moderation and takedown processes.
