It's a pain in the ass for the dev to do some standard marketing that has to be responsive, especially if the text is left justified with some sort of background image that has to be adjusted for every responsive breakpoint. And marketing feels like devs are just dragging their feet, and can't get the stuff done fast enough to do A/B tests, ad tests, and other experiments.
1) $150 a month, 1 user, 10 pages?
How about I throw up wordpress, get thrivethemes and then as many pages as I want and as many users and $0 a month?
2) I'm not sure why anyone would want this. There are better things out there, like clickfunnels. Which is 10x better than this.
3) Finally, any decent agency will have a developer. It's pretty trivial to knock something like this up and have an in-house solution, again for $0.
I know, because I made my own for my own business and my own media buyers to use. I don't get bugged any more for developing pages.
No word on security on the sales page either. That would be my primary concern as a customer.
Documentation definitely needs some work!
The integration is platform specific. For example, if you're using rails you just drop in a gem and it works. I'm the CTO so please feel free to reach out with any more questions - finbarr [@] getshogun.com.
We think the price is reasonable when you compare it to the cost of maintaining web pages by hand. Engineering time tends to be pretty expensive (in many cases upwards of $100/hr). Shogun enables anyone on your team to manage your website with ease, which could save multiple engineering hours per day/week depending on how many pages you have.
