One of the attractions of this landing page generator would be its name. Inspired by a every person and their individuality. The swatches of color are reminiscent of an ice cream brand which boasts of its 38 flavors.
Flavors.Me is a web product used as “personal homepages, lifestreaming, splash and microsites, celebrity fan pages, commercial promotion, brand marketing – and everything in between. ” That’s 17 words that read: versatility!
What started private beta testing late last year, Flavors.Me is now a web product with more than 50,000 accounts created. As a recent signee, sign-up and settings are easy to do in 10 to 15 minutes tops.
Flavors.Me makers, Jack Zerby and Jonathan Marcus decided that a website’s uniqueness encourage people to do more with their web page. Templates are a lot but because of some purchase requirements to be able to download and edit the CSS. Some are free and editable but bug-ridden.
The potential of a web page is endless with Flavors.Me, with just these settings to work on:
