Data Security and Privacy

The platform follows "local-first" and "minimal data collection" principles, with codebase files stored locally on user devices for indexing. User data and infrastructure are deployed based on account location, with storage in the United States, Singapore, and Malaysia to meet local data regulations.

Browser Compatibility

[edit]

Visual CSS works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, with recommendations to use the latest browser versions for optimal performance.

Business Model

[edit]

Pricing Structure

[edit]

Visual CSS offers a freemium model with a free plan that includes basic editing features and limited AI requests. The Pro plan costs $7.50 per month when billed yearly and provides advanced features, unlimited requests, and premium models.

Target Market

[edit]

The service is designed for web designers, developers, content creators, and anyone who needs to modify website styles without extensive CSS knowledge. The platform is currently evaluating a discounted subscription plan for students.

Limitations and Scope

[edit]

While Visual CSS can edit most publicly accessible websites, some sites with strict security policies or complex authentication systems may not be fully editable. The platform supports popular websites including GitHub, Stack Overflow, and Medium.

All changes made through Visual CSS are completely local and do not affect the original website, creating a safe editing environment for experimentation.

[edit]

Visual CSS positions itself as a tool for users who want to "design stunning websites with professional-grade tools" without writing code. The platform continues to evolve based on user feedback and aims to become more stable and feature-rich through community input.
