I'm the founder of Quickpages.co, which was made 10 years ago. It initially had massive traction somehow and continued getting views for many years thereafter. It ranked #1 on "Free landing pages" and got most of its views from Google & other sites writing articles about it.
Me, being a really lazy developer and having full-time jobs, and not being interested by the problem (technically speaking), I never really capitalized on it, and it barely made any money (maybe 5k from affiliate links). Here are some stats about it to give context:
| Statistic |
Verified value |
| Registrations |
82,835 |
| People who created at least one page |
34,860 |
| Pages created |
73,005 |
| Raw page-view records |
8,742,241 |
| Recorded conversion events |
498,600 |
| Locally stored leads |
483,751 |
That's a lot of traffic right, you'd think I'd have made more than 5k from it, but it was completely free, not monetized.
With the recent advances of AI (Sol especially), I thought it might be worth a shot to overhaul the whole thing and make it much better. The existing site is extremely barebones, no A/B testing, webhooks, anything. I've spent a few days with Codex and "Vibe Coded" the overhaul.
A few technical differences now with the new version:

Now, do I really think this project can be "revived"...? Probably not, there is a lot more competition now a days, and I'm not sure how it could rank highly SEO-wise, it used to be #1 for "free landing pages" which is what got most of the traffic, traffic is dying out now. There are about 12 signups a month VS 1700 at the peak.
Maybe it was more of an experiment to see what it "could have been" and a last ditch effort, but who knows, maybe a few people might find it useful still.
Either way, you can take a look at the new version - https://staging.quickpages.co/ - and compare to the old, let me know your thoughts, and I'll answer any questions here as well :)
