This pops up every few weeks &#x2F; months and not once have I seen anything tangible from them. They refuse to offer a &#x27;try-before-you-buy&#x27; demo and there&#x27;s no way to actually see the tech work. You have to pay for a year&#x27;s subscription, with no release date for the actual product other than &#x27;late spring&#x27;, with e-commerce coming &#x27;late 2015&#x27;.<p>I would have a lot more confidence in handing over my money if they&#x27;d release something that people could actually look at and determine whether it&#x27;s worth the price. The pre-order price is not really that expensive, but they have over 20k pre-paid subscribers waiting for <i>anything</i> with no visibility of actual progress other than slick marketing.<p>Maybe I&#x27;m just a cynic, but this just feels like it&#x27;s going to be a disappointment.

I think this sentence exemplifies what&#x27;s wrong with this &quot;glitzy Web sites for Dummies&quot; approach:<p>&gt; Just throw in videos, images, text, products and more and magically get a website that looks like it was poured over by a million-dollar design team. Once and for all, content is king.
