Sell a website builder made for one kind of business

Build a simple website builder for owners who aren't technical, made for one type of business such as dentists, cleaners, or food trucks, and charge them a monthly subscription.

The hard part: reaching owners in one trade, who don't hang out where software founders do, and making templates good enough that they don't hire a designer instead.

Who pays

Small business owners pay a monthly subscription to build and host their site. evgenyeyt reports that a general website builder for small businesses and non-technical users, launched in May 2025, has 373 active subscribers, $8.2k MRR (monthly subscription revenue), and an 85% profit margin. These are the poster's own figures. Nobody reports revenue for a version narrowed to one trade, so any price you set is a suggestion.

How to build it

  1. Pick one type of business

    Choose one trade, such as dentists, cleaners, or food trucks, that needs a website but doesn't want to learn a general builder. Look at 20 of their current sites and note what's missing.

  2. List what their sites need

    Write down the few pages and features that trade always needs, such as booking for cleaners, a menu and today's location for food trucks, or services and insurance info for dentists.

  3. Build templates and a simple editor

    Use Claude Code or Cursor to build three or four templates and an editor where owners fill in a form instead of designing pages. Store accounts and site content in Supabase.

  4. Host sites with custom domains

    Publish each customer's site on Vercel and let them connect their own domain name.

  5. Add a monthly subscription

    Use Stripe Checkout for the monthly plan, with a free preview so owners can see their site before paying.

  6. Go where the owners already are

    Reach owners through trade Facebook groups, local associations, and suppliers who sell to that trade. Speak to their outcome, more bookings or customers, not to the software.
