I think Weebly is a great product, but I believe that there is an enormous opportunity for a truly open-source component-based system, that otherwise works very similarly, to take its place.

To me, the whole idea of drag-and-drop components is a no-brainer, and its amazing that open source web developers haven't caught on to that yet.

WooCommerce (http://www.woothemes.com/woocommerce) is built on WordPress, open source, and free.

I know there's work being on WordPress to make it easier, like adding front-end editing and likely drag and drop. Websites are so commoditized these days it seems inevitable.

Does it support drag and drop components? From the contributing page it looks like things are fairly centralized.
