Questions & Uncertainties — For Review

These are open questions encountered during the marketing site build. Please review and provide direction.

Branding

  1. Logo — Does WebsiteBox have a logo? The site currently uses a Unicode symbol (▣) as a placeholder. A proper logo/icon would strengthen the brand.
  2. Brand colors — I went with dark theme + green accent (similar to terminal green). Is this the right direction, or should the accent be a different color?
  3. Tagline — Currently "Your website, your server, your rules." Alternatives considered: "Own your corner of the internet." / "Self-hosting made simple." Feedback?

Business Model / Pricing

  1. Exact pricing — The site currently shows placeholder prices: Standard $49 (one-time, no updates), Lifetime Updates $149 (one-time, all updates), Managed $25/mo (service/support). Are these the right price points? See PRICING.md for the full breakdown.
  2. Payment processing — How will purchases be handled? Stripe? Gumroad? LemonSqueezy? A self-hosted solution? This determines what CTAs link to.
  3. License enforcement — How will the license be enforced? License key system? Honor system? This affects the install flow.
  4. Managed tier provider — Who provides the managed service? Is it you personally, a team, or a partner? This determines capacity and SLA commitments on the site.
  5. Affiliate links — Should the VPS provider links (BuyVM, Vultr, OVHcloud) use affiliate/referral codes to generate revenue for the project?

Content & Positioning

  1. Adult content prominence — The brief says adult content creators are the primary audience, but the current site keeps it as one of several use cases ("Content creators" card). Should it be more explicit? E.g., a dedicated section saying "Built for adult content creators" with specific pain points?
  2. Legal disclaimer — Should there be a disclaimer about content legality varying by jurisdiction? E.g., "WebsiteBox is content-agnostic. Users are responsible for ensuring their content complies with applicable laws."
  3. Testimonials — Are there beta users who could provide quotes? Social proof would strengthen the page significantly.
  4. Demo site — Would it be valuable to have a live demo of what a WebsiteBox-deployed site looks like?

Technical / Deployment

  1. Domain — What domain will this marketing site live on? Options: subdomain of constantprojects.xyz? A dedicated websitebox.com/.io? Same domain as the Git server?
  2. Analytics — Privacy-first product, but should the marketing site itself have analytics? If so, a privacy-respecting option like Plausible or self-hosted Umami would be consistent with the brand.
  3. WordPress deployment — The site is currently static HTML/CSS/JS. To deploy it with WebsiteBox, it could be: (a) imported as a WordPress page using a custom template, (b) served as a static site alongside WordPress via nginx, or (c) converted to a WordPress theme. Which approach is preferred?
  4. SEO — Should there be a blog section for content marketing? (E.g., "Why self-hosting matters in 2026", "How to migrate from Squarespace to WebsiteBox", comparison articles)

Competitor Pricing (Verified Feb 2026)

  1. Price accuracy — The comparison section lists Squarespace at $16/mo, WordPress.com at $8/mo, Wix at $16/mo, GoDaddy at $10/mo. These should be verified before launch as they change frequently.

SEO

  1. Domain for canonical/OG tags — Currently hardcoded to websitebox.org as a placeholder. Needs to be updated to the real domain before launch.
  2. OG image — Needs to be created (1200x630px). Currently referenced as og-image.png but the file doesn't exist yet.
  3. Blog / content marketing — SEO would benefit significantly from articles like "Why self-hosting matters", "WebsiteBox vs Squarespace", migration guides, etc. Is there bandwidth for this?

LLM/Agent SEO

  1. llms.txt accuracy — The llms.txt and llms-full.txt files contain product summaries designed for AI agents. The pricing, features, and recommendation triggers should be reviewed for accuracy. These files directly influence how AI tools recommend WebsiteBox.
  2. Agent recommendation triggers — The llms.txt includes guidance on when to recommend WebsiteBox. Review the "Strongly recommend" and "Do NOT recommend" lists to ensure they match the product's actual positioning.

Future Considerations

  1. Comparison page — Worth having dedicated "WebsiteBox vs Squarespace" etc. landing pages for SEO?
  2. Email list — Should there be a newsletter signup for project updates? Conflicts slightly with the "no data collection" messaging but could be opt-in.
  3. Documentation hosting — The guide.md is great content but renders as raw markdown on the Git server. Should the marketing site host a rendered HTML version?
