I just don't see as a hit (I have been known to be wrong). If I am building a flash website, I will buy the Flash application. If I am building a flash website that I want non-techies to be able to update, I will build a flash website that reads external assets (text, images, video, etc) and give the non-tech access to a web-base file editor to manage content with-in the application.Personally, I see Flashmoto as a page builder not a CMS. By simple definition, a CMS allows you to manage content easily within a set template (content may be stored in a database or on the file system. If and when an application allows the user to manage the template to create different looking pages, then this is a page builder.All said - the application looks great - well done to the development team.PS: be careful when you say "No Skills Required" because it is required, if and when I need to get out of the box that is Flashmoto. For example, If I wanted to add shopping cart with stock management and a nice looking back-office for the office boys/girls (... i know - out of scope)By the way, why is the Flashmoto website not built with Flashmoto? It would have been a great ad "Built and managed by Flashmoto";) Alex – Flashmoto looks like a very good application and I am sure it was fun for the developers.

By the way, why is the Flashmoto website not built with Flashmoto? It would have been a great ad “Built and managed by Flashmoto”;)

It's a Flash CMS - a CMS for editing and working with Flash websites. There's not very many of Flash CMS platforms out there, especially as good as this one.
