And I generally wont deal with a company that wont publish prices.

It seems morally reprehensible. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Russ Michaels [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 8:40 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Looking for very simple CMS At least there is a choice with the Savvy pricing. If you only need 1-5 users u can get it for $1350. Granted I wouldn't exactly call it cheap for what it offers as it is a pretty basic CMS. But if you look at things like commonspot and ShadoMX, your looking at a price tag of at least $20,000 period. And last time I looked they did not even publish the pricing as they tend to charge yuou according to the size of your company and how much they think u can afford. There are a few other really cheap ones out there, but I think they are awful. If time is an issue, then you need to spend money, if money is an issue, then you need to spent time rolling your own. You have Spectra which is now open source, plus farcry and speck for coldfusion if you want a free solution. Of course you don't even have to stick with CF, there are plenty of PHP, ASP options out there as well.

No we are not free, but we are pretty affordable I think. ..." WHAT??? Reading on your website, I see the unlimited version for almost $14,000 and the single encrypted source version for about $1,400. Sounds to me like somebody needs a real competitor in the market to help correct those prices downward! --Ferg Joshua Cyr wrote: >Hi Ray, > >Don't want to use this list as advertising but to clarify... > >No we are not free, but we are pretty affordable I think.
