Looking for examples of good themes or framework for WP that make it easy for a client to customize the design. Are there any decent options out there for this?

@vaxorcist
The request is coming from a client, sorry if it sounds vague. They basically are looking for a theme or framework that will let the client easily tweak the design and also update the content.

HMM.... ok....
one question: beware of the difference between "tweek the design" and "change the structure"

There are plenty of themes that allow for basic design changes (header image, background pattern, colors, fonts, etc...) but eventually you're going to run into a wall where the client wants to customize something that can't be done from within the theme's admin panel.
At that point it can get tricky, as those types of themes are kind of a pain to make custom edits on while still maintaining all of the functionality.
So I guess consider this a word of warning. I'd stress to the client that they can have control over the design, but with certain limits that may be costly to surpass.

If people could easily tweak web design and content, we would be out of jobs.
Send them a link to www.squarespace.com and run.

I agree there's no perfect solution. Just looking to see what the main options are out there. Woo Themes Canvas is one example (although finding it a pain to work with). Any others?
