Err.. doesnt seem to quite be the same thing as what I'm requesting.
As far as I can see, you fill out a "survey", 
and that does the creation of a predefined presentation.
The content of the presentation is fixed.
This seems similar to the "cssgarden" site, where it has the same content,
but you just pick your favourite css wrapper to fit your styling.

We need something that can change the actual "content". We want 
our (HR department/planning department/whoever) to be able to create
lots of different forms for themselves, and modify them themselves.


Not to mention we need something that will definately work for multiple
browsers.
