There are certainly many site builders out there. The vast majority are painful to use. Especially for the type of user I think this aims at. This one is very nicely done. Both the concept (very self explanatory) & the execution are very good. I had a fairly thorough run-through & I am very impressed.

I think I might have a good use for one of these, but I'd need to see if it can be used reasonably over a dial-up connection. Speed seemed to be a bit of an issue for me. Both the 'back end' & the 'front end'.

This seems like a great blogging platform. I can't say that I know what you are after here. But I can say that the need I come across without really finding a solution that I'm thrilled with is more towards the traditional website end of the blob/site spectrum.

The basic difference (I think) is the navigation structure. Handling a navigation with 10-50 links reasonably easily (submenu items, dynamically created sibling pages & the like) & having some tools to create a 'home page' with a different.

The tool itself is wonderful. I'd switch my blog from wordpress to it, if it had analytics, and I knew you'd be around a year from now. Minor thing on signup: Password: ancmthdnvu Password Strength: You're kidding, right? Password: 123456 Password Strength: Admirable

What did you mean by 'had analytics?' Google Analytics?

If that's your issue, I think you could drop the code into the 'theme' & that'd do it.

You could also chuck it into a "custom html" block, but adding it to the theme would let you put it in the head tags

we will be also adding some simple page statistics soonish, but google analytics will provide much more in depth statistics!

Thanks for the feedback. We'll keep working on the password strength checker :) We're trying to make it a little fun so people will voluntarily choose stronger passwords.

Frankly, this is not a good idea. You absolutely should not substitute your judgment for others. If you want to have a strength checker, go ahead - but don't require someone to have one.
