Mickael, This is something you hear often. Mostly this is the result of having to much functionality and showing to much to the user. The end result often is a busy interface. And still for experienced UI designers, it is often a challenge finding a balance between what to show, and what to hide. Key is finding a balance in often used commands.
It is very tempting to show all the goodies and functions to the end user, but 9/10 this is the wrong approach. There is more involved, if you are also looking at grammar, usage of buzzwords, etc. If you have some sketches/artwork I might give any comments on your approach. You can also contact me off list, if you are interested in some example approaches.

Our clients keep coming up with new requirements as the project grow or change. We are not having any issues meeting these requirement for new functionality on the website. But in my opinion we are not achieving an elegant and easy to use interface. As I review the interfaces I am finding that they are very configurable, very scalable yet I feel that they are written for programmers or people of a technical background which kind of defeats the purpose of creating a CMS in the first place. I am sure that many people on this have faced the same issue. Can any one suggest a good resource for making easy to understand user interfaces, books, sites anything. BTW if anyone feels that they are an expert in this field I am also open to paying for Consulting in this matter. Thanks Mike ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
