The seller is offering a community website initially acquired on a popular online marketplace around two months ago. Although initially bought to complement another business, the seller has since sold that venture and wishes to sell this site to ensure it receives proper attention. The website has grown from 17,077 to 21,751 registered users within six weeks due to a new moderation system and reopened registrations. Pageviews have also increased from around 90,000 to over 100,000 monthly, according to analytics data.
The website serves as a community for designers and bloggers to share and moderate design content, operating similarly to popular content-sharing platforms. It is designed to be self-sustaining, with potential for increased traffic and engagement. The seller has made some technical improvements, including switching to Apache Solr for search functionality.
The site’s design was custom-made by a renowned designer, and it features a voting button once used by external sites but currently disabled due to abuse by spammers. Revenue generation has been minimal, primarily experimenting with ad services. The previous owner had earned $200 from a single ad and estimated that additional placements could yield over $1,000 per month, though they did not prioritize monetization.
The winning bidder will receive the website, associated domains, and a social media account. The seller offers one month of support for the new owner, assisting with system navigation and troubleshooting. Interested parties can request further details such as additional site analytics.
