Cool site. I'm super experienced in CMS type things like this, having done work for local businesses in the past.

Here's some competitors you might not know about:

www.webstarts.com - They let you drag and drop to make designs, which is great, and have more features than anyone. They also try to bilk you horribly with worthless addons. Check these guys out for ideas, maybe make a free website. With design skills you can make an amazing website with this, most people don't though.

www.sitekreator.com - An expensive ($10 monthly) site creator with many features.

Also check out Concrete5 ( http://concrete5.org ), which is an open source CMS you install on your own server -- has in-place editing with drag and drop (and tons of other user-friendly features as well, like bulk file uploading, configurable forms, videos, maps, search, etc). And if you're a developer it's WAY more straightforward to extend than most PHP CMS's.
sitekreator is a little bit more expensive than that (http://sitekreator.com/sitekreator/pricing.html) but it does offer a lot that most of the alternatives mentioned here do not - how about a CDN, full Google Apps integration and some of the most advanced Photo Gallery Visualizations in the industry, just to start? ;)

And if you want more out of your designs, our Pro package gives you complete design freedom without having to write code.
