That's all configurable. If you need to choose from preconfigured bits of
code instead of the rather free-form stuff Kontentor offers, you can just
limit the user's possibilities to use only those widgets.

I don't think Zope is overkill for you. But of course the project you are
thinking of is not completely unambitious. So there IS some complexity
involved. But you'd have much more complexity to handle if you did it all
from scratch ...
