Yes, there is an html widget available

Can anyone share a few demo URLs where this method is being used to generate a homepage? Trying to weigh the benefits vs overhead of adding a CMS add-on vs just running this option. Thanks!

Why not both? Here's a version of it.
Vīcious Crowd | An unofficial fansite for the band +LIVE+
An unofficial fansite for the band +LIVE+ with forums, news, and a database of their music for fans to discover new performances as well as rank and review their favorite albums and song...

I'm also using @Bob 's Article Management System and his Item Management System. Everything one page is widgets.
I just use the following code in the page node:
<xf:title></xf:title>
<xf:h1 hidden="true" />
<xf:css>
.bookmarkLink.button {
display: none;
}
</xf:css>
<xf:widget key="featured_articles" />
<xf:widget key="Unread_posts" />
<xf:widget key="latest_reviews" />
<xf:widget key="live_news" />
<xf:widget key="live_interviews" />
<xf:widget key="recent_music" />
<xf:widget key="latest_music_updates" />
<xf:widget key="top_rated_music" />
<xf:widget key="forum_overview_members_online" position="sidebar"/>
<xf:widget key="tour_dates" position="sidebar"/>
<xf:widget key="forum_overview_forum_statistics" position="sidebar"/>
<xf:css>
.p-breadcrumbs {
display:none
}</xf:css>

I followed the instruction in this thread and it works great.
I now would like to have 2 featured_content type blocks on my page.
One for content from node1 and another for content from node-2 and node-3.
This way I can edit any threads or articles inside my forum to be featured and based on what sub-forum they originate they end up on the page in their reflective block.
I tried using variable conditions inside the widget to no avail.

Bumping my own post.
Is this too ambitious of a question. As in its not possible out of the box.
or
Can this be done by an expert for pay?
Thanks for any feedback.
Thats a pretty slick theme. That something you did?Why not both? Here's a version of it.

Yes exactly. That was my question. Can the widget "featured_content" have settings that show threads/articles based on filters. Such as comes from node1 or node2 or has some other unique filterable flag.
That site uses a portal add-on. I have tested that add-on and decided not to go that route for reasons beyond this post.

Nope. Simply a page node with widgets set as root.

It's AMS and IMS, ........... and a page node.
