Everytime I sit down to choose a CMS for a project I usually go through the following steps: 1) Write down spec and design for the CMS ... which is usually simple and mundane except for one slightly unusual requirement. 2) Do some initial research and become excited by the dozens of open source CMS systems promising to cut my development time by 80%. 3) Realise that none of the simple CMS platforms can handle my one unusual requirement. Consider hacking it in, but realise just how much I hate having to work with other people's code ... espcially on big apps like CMSs with steep learning curves. Go back and do some more research. 4) Find a mothership CMS (e.g. ezpublish) that can handle my one unusual requirement, and could probably iron my shirts as well, but I run away when I realise I'll only use 3% of it's functionality but have to maintain and serve up CPU cycles for 100% of its code. 5) Start writing my own CMS.

You could check out my web-based CMS SIMPL. It's written in Perl and only the driver installed on the customer's site is source-readable, but on the bright side it has: 1. easy webmaster interface 2. ability to change site design at the click of the mouse 3. allows up to a three level hierarchy 4. page renderings are quick, usually under 12 seconds on my voice modem 5. owner viewable page view log including referers 6. cheap; it's bundled with my basic hosting plan and I'm running a promotional special right now Check out http://newdiets.com for an example of a SIMPL website, and the SIMPL demo which is on my business site, http://face2interface.com/Demo hth, Marty Face 2 Interface Web Solutions Website Creation Made SIMPL(tm) http://face2interface.com/Demo -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
