Absolutely spot on about the documentation. They may believe that good programs don't need it. They're wrong. GoodPage is a bit too complex to master without documentation.
As a professional web designer I'm always interested in applications that will speed my workflow. This might, but I'm not willing to spend hours of otherwise billable time to maybe or maybe not learn how to effectively use this program. Trial and error is not only time consuming but always misses important functions.
At a third or a quarter of the price I might be willing to buy it and learn it over a few months. At $100 it is in the range of pro programs. But professional programs have professional level documentation. Doing without is a lazy cop out and loses my potential purchase.
Too bad. It might be a great program if it were documented. Even a quick start guide would help. As it is it isn't worth more than the 2o minutes I've already wasted.
