weebly/wix/squarespace alternatives for cpanel customers

I know this topic comes up a lot, but actually I haven't seen too many recent ones. This is the last one I found here:
Site Builder as good as Weebly?

I'm interested in finding out more about Trendy Tools and was wanting to see if they've come along with customer service and quality in the past 2 year. I've installed it and i'm pretty much blown away by it, but I also heard they can be a nightmare too, and maybe they still are. Anyone here use them frequently? If they're out of the questions is there any other software besides rvsitebuilder that could compete with wix/weebly etc.?

I know the answer is probably no...but This is just so uncanny the lack of resources in this arena, because these turn key design services like squarespace are starting to kill the hosting industry slowly and one customer at a time, and I don't blame my customers going to them honestly because the quality level they provide for website design and service.

maybe cpanel or their affiliates could fund a group to build out a "wix killer" plugin. thoughts...feedback anyone?

Trendy,
I like how your product works in general, but your templates look like they were made by kids. I understand that you can turn off animations, but you are scaring away clients with all of the moving pieces. People did not like flash websites, which is why they have gone away. HTML5 sites that look and act like flash sites is not what people want. Please create some basic templates that do not have all of the moving pieces, nothing bouncing around, normal dropdown navigation, add a jQuery slider, etc.
This would be perfect. I wonder why it's been so hard for cpanel sitebuilders to replicate and build sites that offer simplicity. Formats like this:
logo+nav
nice jquery homeslider
content
footer
That's it. easy peasy. Heck you could even make just 2 or 3 template and the logo, slider, color scheme, video and content would change it up and customize it enough. If you haven't already at least add a jquery homepage slider Trendy!

These are some sites being made in weebly....Come on Cpanel folks! We have a lot of work to do!

The list goes on and it hurts

I know this is an older thread, but just wanted to respond to "Come on Cpanel folks! We have a lot of work to do!"...I don't think the issue has anything to do with cpanel....cpanel/whm does a great job at making a server admin tool...web design is a whole different ball of wax, I don't think I want the folks at cpanel focusing on anything other than the great tools they've made. We need someone else to create a great tool.
