Question about Content Management Systems (CMS)
Hi everybody, I was directed here by forum member MMI after I had a question about Content Management Systems at my original post - he mentioned that Administrator Hensler may be of some assistance regarding my questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
So, here are my questions pertaining to Content Management Systems:
1) Are there any good Content Management Systems (CMS) out there similar to SiteWorksPro that are FREE? I really would like to be able to use a free Content Management System for my clients to reduce costs.
2) SiteWorksPro offers an INCREDIBLE Content Managements System (CMS) that is easy to use and easy to install. However, it uses pre-made website design templates and there are only three. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with SiteWorksPro...Can you create your OWN custom templates, instead of using the pre-made templates that come with SiteWorksPro? And, if you can create your own templates, do you have to know a lot of coding, etc? I am asking this because I have to be able to customize my client's website to match the required look and feel (plus, I LOVE to create my own designs, instead of relying on a pre-made design. )
3) And, how do websites like http://www.videogames.com update and manage their content? I want to be able to do something like that, but on an easier and smaller scale.
I hope I was clear enough with my questions and I am looking forward to your answers.
Your advice and help is welcomed and greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Ryan

Hey Ryan
I think I may have misled you in mmy post in your other thread. I was thinking that there may be members who could help you with programming questions that will possibly check for posts on this board but not on Webmater's Corner. Hence mmy suggestion that you post here.
But what you've done is essentially a "cross-post," asking the same question on more than one board. There's nothing criminal :eek:
about this, but it's not really the best way to participate in the forum.
Mmy suggestion would be for you to edit your post (or simply delete it and start a new one if no one posts here after mme), providing a link to your initial thread and then further developing your plea for assistance. The overriding reason for this is that members who have not read your first thread are likely to simply repeat much of the same advice in this one.
Do you see what I'm saying? It's like:
"In another thread, I asked about ...
Based on the advice I got there, I now have the following more detailed questions.

Oops! Sorry about that...I went ahead and did what you suggested by editing my post to ask more questions. I did not mean to cross-post - but thanks for mentioning it to me, because it gave me some more time to think about the important questions that I have been meaning to ask for a long time now.
Talk to you later and I am looking forward to all of your responses. Thanks,
Ryan
