I can't tell you how much I love this ! Having something where people can create a website without paying a monthly subscription sounds like an amazing tool to bring people into the Hive ecosystem. Not everyone has to be a content creator ! I'd love to see restaurants in particular use this, I get so fed up with the ones that insist on doing it all on Facebook because it's free and then having menus that are just blurry photos that are hard to read !

A question I do have is on the financial model, because I'd hope that it's set up to help grow Hive's overall value through increased adoption and market cap (and maybe even pay you a little something so you can repair the flood damage !)

Will offering a free level and then an option to delegate to remove the banner going to cover the costs of serving the website ?

Although I generally hate "salami slice" pricing, I can see the benefits of developing a series of chargeable upgrades over time.

These could include;

• Custom domains - being able to apply your own domain name to the website (with a follow-up of what happens if the domain lapses ?)
• SSL Certificates
• Custom forms, possibly using some kind of anti-spam mechanism (not Captcha, necessarily, I'd rather see something in-house that doesn't serve big business needs).
• The ability to take payments within the site, possibly partnering with Keychain so that payments can be made with fiat and various cryptos but all delivered to the website owner in HBD or HIVE (a nice way to get funds into the ecosystem !)
• In the VERY long term, I'd love to see it developed as a CMS for e-commerce. But that would be a massive project in it's own right, and would definitely have to be chargeable because there would be a huge amount of work as well as ongoing support and development requirements.
