I've seen many websites using the same templates as yours. And all of them are ICOs projects. I tend to stay away from ICOs if their website largely comes from a template. Btw, instead of making private demo, why don't you put a limited alpha/beta/test version for others to test?
Just wanted to add couple of points to answer your questions.
1- Do we use a template for our front-office website ? Yes and there are couple of reasons for that:
- first when you are working on a blockchain project you want to focus on what matters and in this case the platform backoffice & the products because you don't want to waste your time on the website especially when you find something that suits your brand.
- In the blockchain space everything is moving fast so you want to move fast too, of course nothing is stopping you from making another website later using a custom template.
2- For the Backoffice we are using our "from scratch template" and the reason is we couldn't find what we wanted so we spent time making our own.As for your suggestion to launch an alpha or limited version of our platform yes we are planing to do that as i said above during the Pre-ICO.
I disagree about what you said regarding the use of templates, there are big brands & multi-billion dollar companies who are using templates and i have been part of some big projects where the managers decided to use a template and to focus on the business logic of the product, but i agree with you when it comes to the customization to make it hold your identity and brand which what we did.
Thank you for your comment and don't hesitate if you have any other.
