I love that they are profitable, growing rapidly, and generally kicking butt. My biggest wish for them is to start taking market share from Adobe by making their website toolkit more flexible and advanced. When a professional designer can get everything they want in a browser, no extra software, and changes are real-time...for me, they win.


We actually just did that! http://blog.weebly.com/2/post/2011/08/a-summer-focused-on-de...

When we launched the Designer Platform, we completely revamped our theming engine to be super flexible and introduced a pretty cool web-based IDE with real-time preview of HTML and CSS changes (and pop-out functionality for dual-monitor development).

It's a huge focus for us going forward -- we'd love to hear your feedback on whether the new changes allow you to do everything you'd like to, or if not, where we can improve.


Yeah I think the market for Designers is huge - that's basically all we're focused on at Decal is the deployment model and integrating with designers' existing workflows.

It's hard trying to make people realise that we're not "DIY" though :) I've just come up with the phrase "DIY for Designers" which I think captures it pretty well. Designers have, for too long, been punished by dynamic web deployments (the "big 3" Joomla, Drupal and Wordpress) - time to disrupt!
