Nice. This is exactly one of the service-as-a-software's I have on my small business idea list. The main reason I haven't pursued it is that it doesn't sound like any fun, really. At the end of the day you're essentially running a design/development agency and everyone else's headaches become yours.

Obviously you know about wpcurve. They appear to bill 75k-125k monthly (somewhere in that range. I'm estiguessing).

They claim to have ~38 people involved. I can't really get the numbers to work if that's accurate and they are all full-time, but assuming otherwise, I have to imagine that the owner (if Dan is the only one) takes home 25-50k per month or that a similar amount is split if there are two owners. Obviously I'm leaving asset appreciation/salability out of projections.

Reach out to Dan if you haven't and learn as much as you can from him. He basically knows all the problems you will encounter.

It will be a tough road but this business seems like a very safe bet. Good luck.

I think magento would be a great market for this as well.

edit: I just looked at your pricing. With your pricing you don't need to worry at all about profitability. Note that wpcurve has a 3-month minimum. They didn't when they launched. I think this was probably a hard lesson that they had to learn and you should probably adopt the same rule once you are a little established if not immediately. Otherwise people will take advantage.

Hi HN, I founded ShopManager as a side-project after finding that a lot of my clients were asking for a service similar to this.

Happy to answer any questions you might have. Thanks!
