Thumbs up Priced reasonably...

Seems reasonably priced to me too.

Doesn't appear to have a forum module for it though. I tend to build websites with a community forum feature.

I notice Net Registry use that system. When I was working in Australia for Melbourne IT, Net Registry were our biggest competitor and I always wondered how they produced such a great website (compared to ours). Looks like it was this CMS they were using to build it.

Personally if I was going to choose a commercial CMS it would probably be Expression Engine, but this looks like a good system too.

When you compare the price of FREE Open source systems to commercial ones, you have to factor in maintenance costs / upgrades / customisation / development time of said customisation and user training time.

Also if your data is stuck in a database and you want to migrate to a commercial CMS later you want to ensure you can easily do that, alot of open source systems don't let you easily export your data later. This should be a huge concern for any business.
