Hate to be a party pooper, but Headway Themes and Wordpress blow this out of the water. I mean, there is just no comparison, and the price is about the same.
I found your post interesting so I googled and found "Create your site using Headway, the original drag and drop website builder for WordPress. Whether you are a beginner or developer, Headway is for you!" I think that's fine if you create on wordpress, but I don't. I prefer to use my own domains so I'm not dependent on the whims of the domain owner (ie: wordpress). I was burned many years ago by creating a website that way which is why I turned to owning my own 'space'. I have control when I own the software program and my own little cyber-plot though it does require more work. I'm not against creating a page on sites like Wordpress, Tripod, Wix, etc., I just realize that it's not really 'mine', I'm a guest on someone else's domain. Plus I get to frustrate myself beyond belief by trying to keep up with all the new advances and staying up to date which RSD is enabling me to do. I began way back with WebTV as my only internet connection (yes, I am that old!) so all this new fangled responsive design keeps me on my toes!

Coffee cup is a great web company. Wordpresss is a great blogging company and offers many, many plugins that really make wordpress a viable choice. As a web designer, I really have to listen to what my client needs and that decides which program I will use.

The basic difference is coffee cup is a program on my computer and I design from my computer: client-side.

Wordpress is a program on my web host service and I work my design from a basic template but I build the web site on the web host service: server-side.

Where it gets confusing for the consumer needing a web site is when COMPANIES sell wordpress themes as part of their company.

The truth of the matter is the internet is a living and growing thing, and there will always be updates.

And unlike the world of printing, where the customer goes home with some kind of printed collateral, with web design, the customer only sees a digital image -- there is nothing tangible to hold. And what makes it worse is if the customer doesn't know how to update, they have to rely on their web designer (I excell at fast response in updates) or go to a more expensive level of CMS, customer managed service. Basically an online web company offering web sites is offering a very sophisticated CMS, which the customer pays a monthly fee. "Shopify" is a great example of this.

And then there are the customers who spend oodles of time getting a less than desirable looking web site.

As a web designer, I sympathize and understand. I still explain basic terms to customers so they understand. None of us were born with this knowledge, but some of us love it so much, we become professionals and do it all the time.

Here is a site that I have 'responsified' with RSD 1.5 (Beta).

Link: http://www.playrightmusicltd.com/index.html

The Nav-menu was created in Menu Builder and based on the design of the CoffeeCup menu.

The Contact-Us/Request-Info Form was created with Web Form Builder.

The theme was developed from the Visions sample supplied with the software.

Here are some thoughts I had while working on this:
1. I would like the three images below the Hero image to have links to other pages. This does not seem possible to do within RSD as far as I can see. Please tell me how, if it is there already!
2. It would be good if the images had a Caption box above and below so text matter could be associated with the image.
3. I would like to be able to have a bulleted list within the paragraph text.

Otherwise, the program is a pleasure to use!

I would welcome any comments on how to make this site even better.

Thanks!
Daniel
