In my opinion, most websites in Vietnam are crap. They’re ugly, poorly designed, horribly colored, and the font choice is atrocious. So I’m seriously thankful I ran into Sieu Web, which means Super Web, hence the logo. It’s a new website-building platform that’s designed to make website creation very easy, with responsive designs and an easy-to-use dashboard for the user backend.
To Truong Manh Quan, the CEO of Sieu Web, it’s a departure from services like WordPress and Tumblr, which are more geared towards blogging. Sieu Web is specifically designed for small businesses, e-commerce sites, and individuals – many of whom won’t be familiar with HTML or CSS. The cool thing is, the website themes are all responsive.
If you’ve been following Tech In Asia closely, you’ll remember that Enricko wrote about a similar website in Indonesia called Pixtem, which also aims at getting lower tech users online.
According to Quan:
Our strength is creating a website that is to create the most easy way to make a website for folks who don’t know IT, like an individual who wants to start a company or website for their company but doesn’t know any coding. We want it to be free and high quality. After two weeks in operation, we’ve already got 1,500 users on board.
These are the choices that Sieu Web offers so far, including: small business, e-commerce, musical artist, individual, and other.
At first, Sieu Web will go with the freemium model to get users, and after that it will open up two more packages with more features including more user support and plugins. In the future, Quan says:
First, we’ll be working on iPad and Android tablet apps so that users can manage, keep up with stats, and create their websites via iPad. Second, we’ll be opening up a platform for designers to be able to design their own themes and upload them to the site. After this, we’ll be looking at the global market.
All in all, I’m hoping Sieu Web and other websites in this vein become successful so that we can see an end to the crappy websites users have been subjected to for the past decade.
