I've looked into the feature sets of the above previously and while they are good, efficient solutions, they don't necessarily meet my requirements in terms of information capture. I'm building a relatively simplistic landing page server to manage the backend, and while it will not give me the flair and user interface of the options above, it will deliver the information I want, how I want. I'll probably just open source it when I'm done for others to use as an alternative.
In terms of design - I've done a fair bit of reading on design and layout, and I worked with one of the design guys at in my sharespace to build the concept. I'm just trying to capture tips and tricks (the little stuff I might not have thought of).
