Grid-based design tool for non-designers

Build a simple tool that helps non-designers create grid-based layouts without needing design skills. Target solo founders and small teams who need quick mockups.

Why now

Grid-based design is gaining traction as a simpler alternative to complex design tools, with recent discussions highlighting its accessibility.

Who for
Solo founders and small teams
Business model
Freemium with paid templates
Effort
A few weeks

Many non-designers struggle with creating visually appealing layouts due to the complexity of traditional design tools. A drag-and-drop grid tool with pre-built templates would let them arrange elements quickly.

Offer a free tier with basic grids and paid plans for advanced features like custom templates and export options. Start with a web app that works on any device.

The biggest risk is competing with established design tools that may add grid features.
