I've had a play with it, I suppose it's OK but it's not very flexible
in some ways is it. Lots of ways to change the 'look and feel' (i.e.
colours etc.) but no way to actually rearrange the fields on the form
or to allow connecting it to a database. .... or is that what it
means by the database "Delivery method"? It sounds as if it just
writes the PHP code to a database field though.
