That is really cool. Very well done, great interface.

I think you need to up the contrast and provide a bit of direction.

First of all, it looks very washed out. I don't mean that you need huge bold colors, but it has a color scheme (or lack there of) which makes it difficult to pick out the objects. At the same time, I think you should stick with the simple design, just a bit of texturing and color I think would both improve the character, and even the usability (though I don't see how it could get much more usable).

Your product defines 'simply, awesome'! Congrats

This is what I was thinking. It's all just a little too bright for my taste so a little contrast would make a big difference. It took me a second to realize what I was supposed to do so maybe you could consider placing the "drag form elements here" box above the elements so that's the first thing the users see.

I think it's really cool that you provide the code for HTML, javascript, PHP, and CSS.
