Anyone know of innovative startups that allow users to create websites?

I'm currently plodding through Wordpress but I can't help wondering if some startups have recently made some really exciting and innovative tools to allow an end user to put together a great looking website.

Does anyone know of any startups that have recently put together innovative and exciting tools for end user site building?

I'm building a fairly simple site which describes a software product. Maybe six to eight pages in total.

There are a ton of these out there. Useful for building landing pages without much effort.

http://www.jimdo.com is another one.

Posterous creates a webpage for you consisting of your social media activities, blog posts, etc. and you can post easily via Mail.

Stick with WordPress and use some of the third party themes specifically designed for this - WooThemes has some great themes designed specifically for this case use.
