    About half the preview images are returning 404s. Screen shot here: http://imgur.com/aiqgX97

    Regardless, this is an interesting concept. Currently, you have to pending hours carefully crafting a web site layout or choosing from a selection of pre-built templates. Instead, in the future, it would be awesome to provide a set of parameters that are then used to generate a compelling site.

    One thing I've noticed - the templates look very similar to each other. And it's hard to find one that "looks good". Have you considered incorporating human feedback? Something like Hot or Not, but choosing between themes instead of faces.

    Could anyone point to one theme there that looks really good? I had a quick look and none of the themes coming up seemed worth examining further. Hopefully I'm wrong; the idea of algorithmic design seems interesting.
