Based on your location and business type, Durable AI builds you a mobile-friendly website in less than a minute. Images, copy, fonts, colours, and a lead generation form included. It's the fastest way to launch your new business.
Nice one, but you apparently need a twitter card with a nice image to be present somewhere in the code so that it shows a nice noticeable preview in the feed, not just a grey square
@jamesclift nice but of course there should be default ones already there so that the user finds that ability to change an OpenGraph image in the full editor
This is pretty amazing, what would’ve taken minimum hours at least now takes seconds. Pretty cool use of AI. Built this website in about 20 seconds https://backcountrypowderskiing.... - might have to try becoming a ski guide now.
Hey all 👋
I'm James, founder here. Excited to share this launch with the Product Hunt community!
Some backstory:
I used to run a home service business (shoutout to HD Window Cleaning) before building software companies, and it always bugged me how much time I spent doing things that were unrelated to the actual work.
Fast forward a decade and a few software company exits later, I founded Durable.co to make owning a business easier than working a job.
Our core platform has a bunch of features to help people run their business (website, invoicing, CRM, banking, etc), but when talking to users we found it was still too hard for new business owners to go from 0 to 1.
A few weeks ago we decided to host an internal hackathon, and spent a week building with one question in mind:
How can we help new business owners get online 10x faster?
This is the result! Helping new business owners create websites in less than a minute.
We want to remove any possible friction or fear someone has when starting a business - and thought this was the best place to start. Would love any feedback, and please share any interesting websites you build!
We've made the entire Durable platform free for anyone that is interested in trying it out.
I'll be around all day to answer any questions, so let me know!
Really cool example of using AI to help small businesses. Love how it gets the momentum going so people can get started with something. Can’t wait to see what the team does next with this!
Super cool idea to build a low code business website builder. I played around with a few different types of businesses and loved seeing the website come to life in a matter of seconds.
Congrats on the launch!
Aaaah yes! More tools to help me avoid becoming a mobile/web developer. This product is perfect for anyone who wants to launch their business quickly and easily. The mobile-friendly website is easy to use and includes everything you need to get started. Makes it simple and fast to get your business up and running.
Hi James and Jonathan, congrats on the launch!
In terms of the onboarding experience a quick feedback -- users should be allowed to type in a name of their company (it has to be edited later after the site is generated).
In terms of usefulness, I'd say I was quite impressed with the initial results. One of the major "writer's block" (or perhaps, "developer's block"?) I've faced with building marketing websites is figuring out what sections to add and how they should look. This gives a really good starting point and ideas to just help structure information - at least for someone like myself.
I did play around with the site a bit longer and realized that most / all of the generated sites are the same template with changes to the text and imagery (with perhaps some panels swapped out for others). I am not sure if that's completely true, but I hope, as you continue to develop the product, realize what the major use cases are, you can start to fine tune and better customize for the TAs needs.
