Founder here. Some background:

We've been working on http://www.webpop.com, a powerful cloud-hosted CMS aimed at designers and agencies, for some years now.

One thing we noticed was that people would sometimes use it to get quick landing pages or microsites online, even if they weren't actually using the CMS features - just because it was so convenient to get a site live, get the forms to work and set up asset bundling, minification, CDN support, etc.

So we decided to take a bunch of the tech behind Webpop, and create a dead-easy way to get a static site with some forms online, working and optimized.

Let me know what you think.

Pretty cool! One feature I think would be useful is the ability to set where a form should redirect to after submission, that way I can set where users go to after submitting a form.

Good suggestion. We'll definitively do something to give more control over the "Thank You" page.
