Simplpost is a Philly-based web startup that has a totally new take on building and managing websites. What Simplpost offers is basically an entire platform that includes a frontend and backend framework for responsive websites. One of the things that makes this service stand out is that the entire admin interface is mobile friendly and completely responsive as well. The focus on content driven design is aimed at creatives that don’t want to be bogged down in technical details and code, but there’s some really impressive technology that’s under the hood for those that are interested. There’s also a Technical Co-Founder as a Service option.
The sites created with the CMS are made of nicely formatted HTML5 and CSS3 code. The service and its sites run on NoSQL technology, so there’s no worrying about scaling issues or database bottlenecks. And there’s a built-in staging server, as well as easy deployment options to run sites on any server or CDN. So it definitely has a lot to offer compared to other competitors in this space like Weebly, Wix, Squarespace or even WordPress.
The service they offer is a lot more than just a CMS or “website builder” though. Simplpost also provides free workshops so you can learn more about growing your business and web presence. They also offer professional marketing and design services, as well as social media and copy writing. It’s more of a total solution for small businesses, rather than just a single tool or prepackaged service. Custom plans and a customized strategy catered to the specific needs of every client is what makes Simplpost stand out. They are primarily focused on working with artists and small businesses in the Philadelphia area at this stage.
And in addition to all of the above, Simplpost can also build custom web apps. They have a real advantage when it comes to rapid prototyping of a MVP (Minimum Viable Product), and even offer technical co-founder as a service options. So anyone can make their idea come to fruition. It’s a unique offering of services that could make for a winning combination. It’s sort of a lean startup engine that allows for instant scaling on a bootstrapped budget.
