Show HN: Sourcery – get a free, self-updating website

My business doesn’t come up in the autocomplete and there’s no category for the type of business. There’s no free text field for me to enter my business type and if I choose fixed categories from the list, none of the imagery in the generated sites looks passable.

I don’t understand what functionality this offers that GoDaddy GoCentral doesn’t have? Why do I care if it happens in 5 seconds if the result doesn’t feel tailored to me or quality?

I can’t help but feel like it’s a bargain basement ripoff of a hodge podge of ideas already in the market from Squarespace and GoCentral.

That's fair, Squarespace has a use case. Sourcery is opinionated and not a freestyle tool - we are building websites that you don't have to design, build or update and that lets us offer features that aren't possible in DIY site builders.

I think GoCentral already does this: autogenerated single page sites where the imagery & text are dynamically generated based on a small number of user-made choices at sign-up.
