The "non-tech" people (ie find FTP difficult) I know personally that have used Weebly tell me they like it because they found it's very easy to put a site together and manage it.

Most aren't "in love" with the program, but they found it easy to get their website put together and running, and figure that if they're looking for their next step they'll just hire someone to build it.

The line I get from most people are along the lines of "it was just... easy... and it worked..."

Some general thoughts:

- I personally like your concept. I'm awful at finding good cards for people.

- I like how on your "depot" page I can find cards by occasion / style (ie "Father's day" / "animals"), however I find the menu a bit odd (ie I can select a "father's day card" for "sister"?)

- I personally like the idea of planning out future cards / dates ahead of time. Other people I know might feel that the card was forced, lacking personal touch, etc.

- If it was me personally, I'd probably skip it because I like writing something in the card personally in my handwriting. As another example in some way I appreciate that when I get a card, my dad took the time to write his name in his own signature next to to the long message that probably took my mother a half an hour to think up and put together...

- I feel a disconnect between the "we find the card saving you trips to the shops you can do without" and your designers page. The first makes me feel like all you're doing is running around to the drug store on the corner and posting it for me in case I forget, the second I like and personally like the idea of being able to check / see new cards that are unique that I might not be able to get locally.

- How would your project look if you rearranged the message from "we'll get the card for you --> write in it for you --> and post it for you" to "connect with independent card designers around the world that you can't find at home --> if you want, we can also write in it and post it for you"? I think I might buy something if it was like this, then I can find a card that isn't in all the local stores, but I can still write something personal in it... (keep in mind that for me personally the message written by someone else just isn't for me... I may be missing something here, however...)

Just some thoughts from one person's perspective. Hope it helps.
