I've played around with TakeShape a little bit but have yet to deploy anything, but am interested in using it on projects moving forward. It looks like this is what I've been searching for as a CMS replacement.
I'm coming from years of freelance WordPress projects and from what I can tell, if you've done any theming in WordPress, especially with the Advanced Custom Fields plugin and custom post types, the transition to TakeShape seems pretty doable. I love the drag-and-drop modeling all in one place. Nice that it's visually baked into the CMS and not a separate plugin/screen/etc.
So question: for someone like me who can do some front-end code, but isn't a "back end" developer, how would you suggest I start to play with building templates using TakeShape? What do you think is the best path forward testing a site build/design quickly to make the call over something like WP?
Thanks.
