I like the premise: To help non-coders make modern websites. My project is similar in premise. I admit I haven't installed your framework but here are my thoughts. I think you either are a coder or you aren't. I don't think its beneficial to have a middle road. Things like dreamweaver are said to allow anyone to "make a website". The kicker is you need to learn how to work dreamweaver. All you are doing is trading one learning curve for another. It doesn't make sense to me. I'm not saying you are trying to be dreamweaver, the example is meant to illustrate the problem with targeting non-coders and telling them "hey you can make a website with my program". The point of all this is that since my project involves the same premise, and after thinking long and hard about it, I realize that enabling non-coders to make websites is all about the UI. If you tell a guy that is just starting with code "hey you don't have to write any sql!!! Well he won't know what that means either way, so your proposed benefit flies right over his head. I would say I am probably in your target userbase. I know how to code well enough to understand the benefits of your framework, but since I know how to code well enough to understand your benefits, that basically means I'm already comfortable writing sql and enlisting MVC to make things easier on me. (I use kohana). So as much as I appreciate all the work you've put into your framework to help me, I am extremely hesitant to abandon kohana and learn alchitect. I guess my point is about marketing. Figure out exactly who you want to target, and make a product that fits their needs to the T. In my case, my project targets non-coders. Therefore it must be 100% about the UI. Think of weebly.com That site is bleeding out of the nose with insane UI features. I'm not saying in any way that this is your demographic, but rather to encourage you to pinpoint your customers! Hope this helps.
