#2 Product of the WeekSeptember 28, 2018
The quality gap between a custom and generated landing page is too huge.
I want to make a high-end design affordable for bootstrapped startups, makers and indie hackers.
Unicorn Platform is equipped with dozens of pretty components, built-in MailChimp integration and a huge variety of predesigned templates.

The best template builder I've ever seen
Cons:ΒNone
I've used this few weeks ago & was absolutely in awe of it. The design is really clean & the templates are so amazing. Its the most modern landing page generator I've ever seen & that too made by a solo person in very less time.

Hi fellows. For the last few months, I've been building something cool.
Unicorn Platform is a static landing page generator for startups. Let's see what is special about it.
About
A landing page is not just a bunch of text 'n' pics to throw to your customers. And it is more than a marketing tool.
Your landing page is the face of your startup. Your audience subconsciously perceives the team, the product, the investor's board, the founders by looking at your LP.
That is why one should not just throw some blocks from a free HTML template and get just fine LP. A website is an important thing, not just a checkbox in your todo list.
If your website offers more: it's friendly, entertaining, engaging, intriguing - you get much more loyal and interested clients. Your business grows faster π
Making a creative LP is a hard task. Unicorn Platform is aimed to help you create a humanized website.
Product
Currently, Unicorn Platform is a static landing page generator. It produces HTML templates. After exporting your should edit content in a text editor such as SublimeText.
This is just the very first iteration (see changelog). Unicorn Platform will grow into a mature horsie and will get it's own online editor, hosting and many more innovative features.
Here are some websites made with Unicorn Platform:
- Klipped.in - minimalistic text sharing tool by Ferruccio is the first real user of Unicorn Platform.
- Notion - notes, tasks, wikis, tables - all in one place. Since I love Notion a lot I've decided to create an example of what Notion LP would look like if their landing has been made with Unicorn Platform. (Lillie from Notion gladly allowed me to do that).
Pricing
Pro subscription costs $80 per year (beta price). It will unlock all Pro components and templates.
Additionally, for $180 you can purchase a life-time access to Unicorn Platform. It gives a full access to the current and all future versions of the website builder - including the version with hosting (yes, you will not be charged monthly unlike regular users). The lifetime deal will disappear on the 31st of October or until all 50 slots are bought (see the current presale state on the homepage).
All users (Pro & Free) get all updates and tech support.
Bonus to Product Hunters π
All users who become Pro today (until 28th of September 11:59 p.m. PST.) will get +2 bonus months of Pro subscription.

It's really great! I bought one LTD. π Good job!
I am mainly interested by the components to build stunning websites.
As a developper, I'm not interested by hosting because I prefer to use Firebase (CDN, Rollback, SSL...). And I prefer to build a SPA in a PWA. For me, the real advantages are the components.

@florent_clapie thanks for the support and welcome to the herd! β¨π¦
I'm glad that Unicorn Platform gives you value right here right now - it makes me so happy!
Is there something that you miss in the product? Maybe some specific components? Or micro elements such as checkboxes or rangers?
Btw, I promise that you will be able to export HTML even in the v2.0 version of Unicorn Platform (with hosting and online editor).
