I completely agree. With a service like this, I think someone would know instantly whether or not they were going to use this service in the future, and having the option to do 3 designs just delays the inevitable - that they will pay. BUT, having 3 designs also gives people time to forget about the service. In my opinion, instead of $19.95 per month, I would rather buy design "packs". - $19 for 10 designs - $49 for 100 designs - $99 for 300 designs - $499 for 100,000 designs (you're good to go plan)

I'd venture to say that for most people 10 designs is more than they'll ever use. You could pay $19 once and use the service forever (because you can just delete your old designs if you ever hit the limit). At least that was my reasoning for choosing a SaaS model, which I admit has flaws too. One idea that someone mentioned was to buy usage time. You pay $19 and get access to the tool for a month. Or you pay $99 and get access for a year. That way if you only use it periodically you're not locked into a recurring plan. It's ghetto SaaS, but a few folks said they'd prefer it.

  It's just got to be dead simple. The reason I keep commenting is because I want to be your customer. This tool is exactly something I would need throughout the year. For example. Today. Our company just received approval back on a graphic design for a new site that has a homepage and an inner page format which are different. Now, we have to turn it into a CSS/HTML layout that we can plug into a WordPress theme. I want to use this tool right now, but I don't want to commit to $20 per month AND I don't think I want to pay $20 just for the 1 design AND I was frustrated with the fact that I couldn't get those blocks to line-up side by side which will be required for this particular design. You see, when a design is created and approved, this tool MUST be able to work with that design. I don't see many instances where I will use a layout editor then try to squeeze a design into it and hope the client approves.
