Ask HN: Is making one-page websites for apps a pain?

3 points by e7mac 11y ago ↗ HN

Recently, the bottleneck for releasing products for me has been making the website for each of the apps. The best solution out there right now is buying templates but I'm never sure if I like it enough to shell out $15 instantly. I am wondering if others feel similarly.

It looks like wordpress has some nice free one page templates... but 1) it might be overkill for your need 2) I just discovered wordpress so... I may have false hopes 3) in any case: either you buy a template & customize, hire a designer, or get your hands dirty

Thanks for the thoughts. I keep using various hybrids of the 3 that you mentioned and it's been getting annoying. I'm going to try and see if I can maybe build a tool that could ease this process.

No, actually. I am learning the ropes like you are.

I buy mine from http://themeforest.net I have always been happy with the result.

Depending on what you need, http://html5up.net/ has some free templates. I'd also be willing to build you a custom page.
