Wordpress's famous five-minute install is the bar for how easy it should be to get your own instance of a personal indie website. Our job is to make it at least that simple or we will exclude all but the most technically savvy. This session was dedicated to identifying a UX flow so we can start building a working prototype.

WORDPRESS MODEL of custom installation

• download the zip
• have domain & hosting
• upload files via FTP
• set up a dbase via cpanel

     *Falcon uses a flat file db architecture that removes this step

INITIAL INFO that must be gather from user

• name
• email
• password
• domain
• hosting credentials
• payment for hosting ?

OPEN QUESTIONS

• Is there a indieweb subdomained model similar to subdomain.tumblr.com that would make an indieweb site available to those not willing or able to do their own custom install?
• What language/stack? PHP favored for its low cost of hosting. Other options include github and AWS bc it has a completely web-based interface and would eliminate the need for users to understand FTP.
