Hey all! 👋🏻 Dan Sutera here, Co-Founder of Muse. After years of hard work, we are thrilled to introduce our platform to the PH community and can't wait to hear your thoughts. For years, I've been the defacto IT support guy for my family. They try to build websites on places like Wix & Squarespace and start with great templates, but pretty soon get stuck and call me to login & rebuild for them. These tools are easy for people like us, but still WAY too complicated for beginners. That was my inspiration for Muse. We reimagined how pages could be built from the ground up. And over the last 3 years have taken inspiration from other great products that have launched like Bento & Carrd. Those tools let you build a simple Link in Bio or personal page, but with Muse you can do MUCH more-- full-fledged websites & e-Commerce. We are quite proud of the end result-- a site builder & eCom platform so easy, even Grandma can use. We hope that you'll enjoy!

@dansutera Relieved to finally have the opportunity for an online art portfolio which isn’t utterly reliant on one’s social-media accounts, especially as those seem to become less user-oriented and ever-more opaque. That being said, it makes a huge difference that Muse does provide easy options to add links to those accounts! ;) As well, Muse’s free option is a great place to begin for those of us who haven’t updated their websites since Apple discontinued iWeb. One question: how does Muse optimize one’s site in search engines and within certain apps? Cheers and thank you!

Hey, Alex here! In recent months we've spent a lot of time trying to improve the product. Since we know how hard it is for any creator to sell their content, this platform simplifies the process by allowing you to create a website in seconds, as well as have a portfolio of your services and products in just seconds. I think every creator can benefit from Muse. We're eagerly awaiting your feedback on the product.

I've used this in beta and my girlfriend used it to set up a simple way to book her aerial acts. She's the most non technical human being alive haha. Amazing game changing product for a huge swath of folks!

@greg_frontiero1 Haha thanks bud, alway good to see it working in the wild!
Shivam Singh
Indeed, the frustration of "beginner-friendly" tools still being too complex is real, and if Muse simplifies that experience while offering full-fledged site-building and e-commerce, it could be a game-changer for a lot of people. Great product, sending a lot of win to the team :)

@whatshivamdo Thats the hope!! 🤞 If you have any feedback let us know...

Shopify dev for over 6 years and I feel you haha have been the defacto "build me a site" guy for my friends and family only to see them never use the sites I build for them just because they have no idea what to do and I simply don't have the time to be a full time manager of their site for them, will be sending them over to muse.io from now on haha

@alan_rivera Haha, yeah. Hopefully we can rescue you... :)

This is great. You can quickly turn ideas into businesses and even sell them immediately. You have done it. I hope you will become stronger and stronger. ps: I found a small bug when I clicked on the website. The page https://company.muse.io/ourstory showed: An error occurred. Our team has been notified and we are on it.

@cloudkoonly Oof thanks, Will fix asap! On it...

The migration angle is key - SMBs often get stuck with legacy setups due to integration dependencies. Would be interested to hear about your migration path strategy and how you handle common integrations (payment processors, CRM, analytics etc).
Dan Sutera
Maker
@david_amrani Hey david, yes thats true. Sometimes switching costs are too much. We built SOME automations to help with this-- like when you build a page with AI you can import over content by providing a link. Analytics we use GA so hopefully that is portable. We use stripe so that is somewhat portable. But for sure we could add more straight up importers as we get demand from a specific place. Hopefully we are lowering the bar for new entrants in addition to just switching people over.

@dansutera Haha, being the go-to tech support never ends! 😆 Muse looks like a solid way to simplify website building. How does it handle SEO and mobile responsiveness compared to Wix and Squarespace?
Dan Sutera
Maker
@fufuman13 You know it,lol. SEO & mobile responsiveness are built in, along with other things like accessibility, speed, etc. All the tricky stuff is abstracted away. I would guess Wix & Squarespace also have a lot of this when you first start a new template (templates are always beautiful when you start). The problem is when people start messing around with columns and things on templates they get out of whack and into a "bad state." When that happens, mobile responsiveness likely won't work anymore. The whole thing with Muse is trying to prevent the user from ever getting into trouble...
Fahad Mehfuz
@dansutera That makes a lot of sense! Keeping users from breaking their own designs while still giving them control is a solid approach. Sounds like a much smoother experience compared to traditional site builders.

Congrats on the launch! What a well executed product! Great use of the AI. I always like to get a quick hands on demo of the product and Muse delivered that through the playground. Good work! Transaction fees might be a bit higher for the free plan, but serious creators would consider getting Premium with custom domain so I understand that. I'll definitely keep this product in mind and will tell others about it if they are looking to create a shop online. Cheers!
Dan Sutera

@ash_grover Hey Ash, good point, we prob should have mentioned the playground a little more prominently, it's fun: https://muse.io/playground (We used to have that be the main starter exprience but it hurt conversions a little). Thanks for the support!
