Congratulations to the winners, Aaron Crouch and Khayyam Wakil.

Simple User Interface and excellent user experience!
Favorite feature would be the custom styles :)
I think the white-labeling feature is definitely the best, but the unlimited sites is a close #2.
Simple user interface and custom styles I think are the key!
Love the UI and customizing appearance is an added bonus! :D
My favorite feature is the part where I can put my logo in where the other one was. Then I would lie through my teeth and take credit for building the entire site. And continue on to tell them I’ve got a project being funded by @mashable and it’s going to be super epic!
Or maybe just the feature of being free if I win one of the two copies up for grabs.
;)
Clean layout and ease of use!
The best feature is the white labeling!
The fact that you don’t have to install the software is fantastic. One of the problems with my current CMS of choice, WordPress, are the consent security updates and whatnot.
Being able to rest easy and not worry about vulnerable code on your server is great piece of mind and is what, in my opinion, makes Cushy the most compelling alternative to other CMSs such as WP and Joomla.
Best thing about pro is being able to put your brand on it.
Feature of the Pro a/c that I like is “Use your own custom styles” – great !!!
Favourite feature is the custom styles
Unlimited sites/editors (of course)
Simple Integration – definitely one of he best CMS’s around
XML editing capability!
i just think the whole simplicity of it is amazing,
the fact you can make it into your own marketing style with a nice clean interface is excellent, we have it at my company but i’m hoping to start on my own in the very near future and this would help me out greatly
No training, programming or server requirements!
It’s so easy, I love it.
Being able to use own domain name and the class “clienteditor” to reduce the chance that the client will realize how lazy I really am.
Love the white label capabilities
Really easy for the client, love it!
Because it’s easier than WordPress.
It has to be the ability to style the cms that makes the pro account worth while. Giving the client an idea of a personal cms will help to sell the idea
So many favourite features!!! ahhh! easy of use, no server requirements, white labelling, no restriction on how many sites used – flipping brill!
Custom styles are a winner for me. Cushy CMS does look great though, real slick and easy to use.
It’s gotta be just the whole ethos behind it, how it literally opens up different avenues in terms of the sites us little people can offer!!
Dam this is exciting!!
Love the branding facility of the pro account.
My two favorite features are the ability to brand the backend and use our own domain.
The easy to use makes the hop-over for small cms-projects worth while !
Easy to use, nice and clean. So simple what a great product
I just like the idea of having a defined space the clients can edit and not worry about them destroying the pages.
Using you own domain name.
Definately customising appearance is a big bonus!
White Label customization… ease of use for clients!
I think that being able to customize the appearance of content and icons is a great feature. Would love to check this out for clients.
The ability to use my own domain.
Pick me.
Clean, easy, and customizable, what a good CMS should be.
Using your own domain is my pick. Rebranding the interface is great too though.
The White-Labeling (including custom logo and appearance) of the CushyCMS Pro accounts has to be my favorite feature.
CushyCMS is especially useful for existing websites where a client needs access to editing content without a full blown Content Management System. It’s so easy to add the Cushy editing tags and let the client loose on the content, and they love how easy it is to use.
I love the simplicity of CushyCMS; it seems to be a perfect solution for my non-techie customers who probably cannot get the hang of something like WordPress.
I also love the rebranding feature, which helps me promote my freelancing business.
The use of your own domain and the easy to use interface I just love it.
the custom branding sold it for me
along with changing the class names
Using your own domain, custom branding and a custom class for your html!
Use your own custom styles & simple UI, duh!
