Looking for feedback on a product idea

Howdy everyone.

I've had an idea for a product in the back of my mind for a long time. The product is focused on webmasters like you, so I thought before I spend tens of hours developing it, I should post here (and at a couple of other forums) to see what people say about the idea.

To keep it simple, my idea is to build a software which you install at your website, and it lets you add php scripts to your website through an easy-to-use interface. E.g by pointing and clicking. You don't need any programming knowledge, or any other tehnical knowledge at all.

For example, if you want to add a 'Contact Us' form to your website, normally you would:
- Pay someone to do it
- Find an open source/free script which does that, and struggle at least half an hour with installing it.
- If you are a programmer, code it yourself, which would still take up at least an hour of your time which could be better spent on something else.

Same thing goes when you want to add a feedback form, a sign up form, a page for displaying all your products/articles/anything else.

The idea behind my product is, you create all these pages easily by pointing and clicking, describing what the script has to do through a web-baed interface. To get a better idea of how that'll work, check out this little demo/prototype of how my product will work at:
http://www.phplazy.com/demo/
Check it out and let me know of your thoughts.

P.S if you're a designer and you think you can make the (horrible looking) interface of my product look better, click here.

I think this is a great idea. I remember searching the internet for a CONTACT US script which took me around 2 days to configure. this is because im just new to scripting like php.

It reminds me of numerous modules for CMS like Joomla or Drupal. Is that what you have in mind?

If that is the case, I think the idea itself certainly has no problem. Nobody would say no to ease of use.

The question is how would your project be different from other established open source CMS.

I agree, I have seen these kinds of things before. I host at dreamhost and they have several one click install featueres like guest book, shopping cart, forum ...
Also if you go to myspace there are bunch of little gizmos you can add to your page easy.
