Isaac, we implement every site we do using a CMS of our own design. It's better for the clients, but it's also easier and faster for us! I think there's definitely a market for it, but often you have to create it as you go by explaining the benefits etc. We are just starting to license it to other developers but finding quite substantial support issues with that. Our CMS is targetted at smaller businesses but we are planning to split it into an easy to use small business version and a sophisticated enterprise version later this year.
I think a lot of developers can see the potential, but few have the time or skills to build their own. So, yeah I think they've got a good future. ----- Original Message ----- From: "S.
