I would also consider Contribute, but only if the site information architecture is relatively small and unlikely to change.
You can create areas within your perfectly crafted html that the customer can edit and update with a desktop application. For the most part, it seems to function well from what I have seen, and is particularly useful for those small sites that don't require a lot of smarts, but do require the odd update. Otherwise, yeah, go with a CMS if the site is larger. Karl On 7/12/07, James Gollan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
It has been mentioned before, but I find Drupal has been great. It has modules for most things, has a fabulous extensible content system where you can define custom content types, a very powerful theming engine, and an incredibly modular approach to core functionality. When you learn how to use the system you can 'hook into' virtually all aspect of the system to configure it to do just about anything without adjusting the core code (and thus complicating your upgrade path). I have used it to create www.organicexpo.com.au which has an extensive backend order management system, but it is also being used on MTV sites and the satirical news site www.theonion.com. And it runs on php4 and 5. ....and it can be configured to use external authentication, customised caching such as memcache, and features a database agnostic abstraction layer..... IBM, Yahoo (and Google i think) are using it for many internal sites.
