This is so well done. You nailed the insight, from the PM standpoint. One of the better products I've seen launch in a while.
Taylor Hughes
@elan_miller Thank you! Much appreciated

This is pretty stellar. Considering I don't have an app in the store (yet) I didn't go through the full funnel, but based on what I saw, it was super dead simple. Few questions regarding the product: - Will you be able to customize the template you choose? - Any plans for a marketplace of sorts at some point to purchase customizable and submitted themes? - How do you prevent just any person from creating a site for your product? Would they benefit or take away from you in any way? May not be a concern but just a thought that popped into my head. Some random thoughts for you, but either way, a definite time-saver for many.

@imcatnoone hey Cat, thanks! answers: - Will you be able to customize the template you choose? Somewhat. We have a extended version of App Websites coming later this year that will give people more control. - Any plans for a marketplace of sorts at some point to purchase customizable and submitted themes? We'd love to do that. We'll see how the product performs. - How do you prevent just any person from creating a site for your product? Would they benefit or take away from you in any way? May not be a concern but just a thought that popped into my head. We thought about that, but overall unless they own your domain name, it shouldn't really matter. I could go copy almost app website right now, but it wouldn't matter. So, it's not something we're worried about, but we'll of course monitor the situation.

this is great! my only issue is that I have LaunchKit screenshot builder screenshots in the app store with the device frame and text above. So when you grab those images it kinda has an iPhone-frame-inception thing going on. I can remove but then there's the floating text. Any plans to link the two tools up so that I can get the device-with-text-above in App Store and then use those original screenshots I uploaded on the landing page?
Riz
@sammybauch Hey Sam! Yup, we noticed that too. We're going to be linking up the two tools soon, ending the frame-ception!
Brenden Mulligan
@sammybauch you can also swap out the screenshots in the edit form and replace with original screenshots
Bram Kanstein (@bramk)
awesome, and this looks great as always @Mulligan !
Brenden Mulligan
@bramk thanks!
Roland Ligtenberg
This is an amazing update and makes it so easy to build an app website. Literally a 5 minute process for a beautiful looking landing page. Such a time-saver. Thanks @mulligan & team!
Brenden Mulligan
@rolandal thank you for helping us work out the kinks

LaunchKit tools have received almost 3,000 upvotes from the Product Hunt community, and we're excited to introduce a new tool today that we think app builders will love. LaunchKit's App Website tool creates and hosts a mobile ready, smart solution for anyone who needs to quickly launch a website for their app. Just point and click your way to a beautiful app marketing page in minutes. If the app is already in the store, we'll pull in images and metadata to make the process even easier. If not, you just need to fill out a quick form and upload some images. It's simple. We built this tool for several reasons: 1) When you're racing to finish an app, the website usually comes as an afterthought. Usually something is thrown together just to point people to the App Store. Typically these last minute pages aren't that smart. They don't take into account what platform the user is visiting from. They don't optimize for sharing. And generally they're not that great looking. 2) A lot of organizations have product managers/marketers directing how the websites should look, but need designers and web developers to actually create and update them. This will hopefully let PMs own the whole process themselves, freeing up the rest of the team to do more important (and interesting) things. I'll be here answering questions all day. I’d love to know what you think of the onboarding, user experience, options, etc… Fire away!
Sunny Nagra
@mulligan any plan on opening up ability to track user visits?
Riz Ainuddin
@mulligan Awesome product here. and Thanks for making my life easier today. I wish there is an option to customise the waiting list button.

Congrats on the launch @mulligan @rizzledizzle @taylorhughes You guys took both mundane and challenging tasks and made them elegant. Before app.net was, um, what it is now, it used to be a great place to handle the one-pagers. I never really found a service to do it simply after. Teamed with the rest of the tools and this process makes the launching part of an app release really seamless. What's the plan for pricing and are any other tools on the launchpad?
Brenden Mulligan
@noinput thanks Jim .. appreciated! we're working on a premium tier for all our tools, which we'll hopefully be rolling out later this summer.
Stuart McCroden
@mulligan @noinput Good! I've been worried that you haven't been making money. I love all your products!
Ryan Merket
@noinput Have you checked out Appsites.com?
Ross Rojek
I've liked everything so far that LaunchKit and @mulligan and crew have put together. For a company like ours (small, but with a lot of projects) this makes a chunk of our workflow faster and easier. And I''ll be using this a lot in the near future with websites for those little apps that just don't make enough $ to justify spending hours doing one from scratch (or even a template). Thanks for including me in the beta. Hope I was helpful
Brenden Mulligan
@sacbookreviewer thanks Ross .. appreciated :)
Paul Gosnell
I've used all of launch kits tools for my last two apps and this latest addition just makes my life even easier. You guys really understand what tools a maker needs to launch and grow products!
Brenden Mulligan
@paulgosnell thanks paul!
Perzer
Really great experience and product! I wish you also allowed for an Instagram link and also a customizeable link (e.g. something that would appear at the top of the page next to the blog link).
Brenden Mulligan
@daperzer great thoughts. thanks so much :)
Gabriel Aldamiz-e...
Super easy to use, the best way to build your app site. Thanks @muligan!
Brenden Mulligan
@aldamiz thank you!
Thomas Cailhol
On point! Again! @mulligan I'm offically the best fan of Launchkit. Great work!
Brenden Mulligan
@tcailhol thank you!
Matthew Harris
Perfect!
Haris Amin
This is great. I know this probably isn't something most ppl want but j would love to do this for Mac apps too :). All the iTunes meta data stuff is the same.
Brenden Mulligan
@harisamin been requested a couple times. definitely something we'll look into
Jack Dietrich
Wow! Any plans to support screenshots for iPad and/or Android apps?
Brenden Mulligan
@jackdietrich yep! coming very soon. as well as landscape screenshots :)
John Goering
Hmmm...it's not finding my app when I search for it. It finds other apps but not mine. Any idea why? My app's name is "Mindscope", it's an iPad-only app.
Brenden Mulligan
@epaga yeah, right now it's limited to iphone apps .. we'll be adding templates for ipad soon
Louis DeMenthon
Nice! Just made a page for my app and it took 2 minutes. One criticism: the screenshots I uploaded get resized and a little blurry if I choose to remove the phone border (seen here: http://mobile.eatthismuch.com/ )
Brenden Mulligan
@ldementhon thanks for the bug report!
Justin Balthrop
This looks beautiful, and would have saved me so much time in the past. I'm so glad this exists now.
Brenden Mulligan
@ninjudd for your next app :)
Brenden Mulligan
@ninjudd well, then the next big update ;)
Marco Napoli
This is an awesome product. I recommend it to everyone. The templates looks clean, professional and extremely easy to use. Point and Click. We use it at our company.
Brenden Mulligan
@jedipixels feel free to post some sites you're using it for
Farbod Saraf
Amazing update @mulligan & the team! Looking forward to see more customizable templates in the near future.
