Show content as seen on live site using styles sheets.

When the content shows in the cushycms editor, it does not match visual with the actual site. Clients will end up trying to "fix" this as they edit it. It would be best if the content was shown as it does on the live site.

    Full WYSIWYG editor. Render the page, with editable regions highlighted. Or have a semitransparent black screen over the whole page with 'holes' punched out for editable regions. At first I was opposed to this idea, showing the editors what they're editing *in context* would be excellent. Maybe offer simple view (the current interface) or a "direct" view as an option.

    This is my #1 problem with CushyCMS, and why I keep some clients on Contribute. Whenever a client updates a page, I have to spend a few minutes re-formatting it.

    See my note here: http://cushycms.uservoice.com/pages/general/suggestions/1704
    It's difficult for cushy to guess variations of image/css paths. Solution to get TRUE live view without interfering with site functionality would be to upload a preview version, e.g. upload myfile.preview.html in the same directory as myfile.html and have the user check that out (iframe auto-refresh or button-click)
