Thanks for your feedback, especially on the pricing. As I mentioned below, I know its due for a change, but have received wide range of advice so I'm holding off for now. I removed the "Requires an HTML5 compliant browser" -- It sounded fancy at the time, but agree that it's confusing. Appreciate it --

I can see someone going in here, modifying one design about a 100 times, exporting them all, and then just keeping those archived. You may want to allow the ability to create unlimited designs for free, but you only get to hit the export button 3 times :)

  Yeah, that's an option too. But again, what's the pricing model? $19/month for unlimited exports?

    Maybe. Who is your customer? How many designs a month does your typical customer create? If it's an independent designer / web developer, then they may create 2 websites a month for $2k - $4k per month per customer, and that's only 2 designs. Then there are people who just slap up websites for $300 a piece, and may do 5 or 6. But who's the customer? Sure, you might say that if I'm making $2k to $4k per website, and do about 2 a month, then I should be able to "afford" $20 per month, but that's really not the way a developer thinks. Everyone wants $20 per month from us. It seems like everything is becoming a service. I also don't know if I'll do a single website for ANYONE next month. BUT, I can sure tell you that I'll do 10 before the year is up, so if I could just buy a 10 pack, that would make sense to me. Lastly, I ran into some frustrating bugs while using the demo. I couldn't subscribe at this point because I couldn't do something as simple as line up 2 blocks side by side. I try to drag them so they touch each other, but it keeps bouncing back and leaving a space. Something as simple as this becomes a deal breaker at the moment. The tool itself is still broken.

      As far as the blocks go: that's a feature, not a bug. Since everything revolves around the 960 grid system, which doesn't support blocks side by side, you can't do it within the editor. But, as imply, that's useful in a lot of cases, so it might be something to look at. You're comments are great, btw. Thank you.
