Hi everyone!
We’re excited to launch Heek, and thrilled to be featured today on PH thanks to our hunter @syswarren.
We’ve worked on the first conversational website builder, a solution to help small businesses create and animate their website. We tried to make it as easy and time-saving as possible.
Feel free to try it out, we’ll be happy to answer all your questions!

@nicofayon@syswarren I am loving it. Loved the way you guys are solving this using conversational UI. Would love to talk to you more about this.
Imagine if you could build a website for your business just by answering simple questions and not have to deal with me as your designer? Beautiful dream, uh? Heek made this happen (let's hope I won't run out of business 😅)
This is a such great way to keep the barrier of entry very low while still providing access to the full GUI features for more advanced or experienced users. We came to the same conclusion when building our on-boarding conversational experience for @smoochlabs . Glad to see this technique applied to specific vertical. I enjoyed what I tried of it and looking forward to seeing it further developed.
@kvgauthier yes, thanks @kvgauthier! True actually, some people need more customization, but never too much. The people we want to help are less used to classic UX interfaces or internet saas tools, so we worked on something they would know how to use before coming. Glad you like!

I love this. I just gave it a try and really enjoyed it.
This is a great example of a conversational interface saving time and effort, rather than existing solely because of the hype.
The flow of the conversation felt a lot like a consultation with an actual web designer and developer. We discussed color palette, the purpose of the site and more. I think the speed of the site updates that happen during the conversation could be improved, but, I expect that'll happen over time.
@nicofayon@syswarren Are there plans to open this up as a platform for developers to contribute widgets, integrations and more, or, will you go the Squarespace route and maintain control?
Really great work.
Thanks so much @colewinans for your feedback!
Very true about the speed of the site updates, we're already working on improving performances. For your last question, let's say that there will be a controlled opening of the platform ;)
