| From a personal point of view (I'm a newbie btw!) I would say either Wordpress or Joomla. You will need HTML and CSS knowledge for both and you will be tinkering very lightly with PHP too. If you want something that can do anything with modifications (sometimes easy, sometimes very painful) go for Joomla, it can even back itself up if you install the right mods so really good piece of mind. If you want good SEO in the most part and general easy useability from the start try Wordpress. If it came down to it I'd say Joomla, but I fully agree you will spend a few months learning the basics... and yes you always have the 2% you're not sure of even if you know everything before you install that last mod! Best Of Luck, Baz |

| Hi There, we are recently launch our own CMS with web designer access. This is a system we have building over the years for our clients so it is really built with the client in mond, making this simple for them and easy to use but it is also very powerful with the ability to grow to much larger sites and with a control panel for you in order to determine which area the client can access etc. If you can design a web page without CMS then this is all the technical knowledge you need, integrating is very easy to do. You can view more info on our site at www.flocms.ie You can contact us from the site for pricing etc if this is of interest.

| Wordpress sounds perfect for what you're doing. It's easy to make larger sites work well with it, and various plugins can handle caching, data importing, and even managing multiple sites from the same interface. If you need an idea of how it can look decent enough, www.celebritygossip.ie is running it (though I do have to set up the caching a lil better because it's being hammered at the moment). |

I'd be inclined to agree with all of that. |

| Cushy CMS is by far the best I have come across for free and simple CMS. Joomla will do your nut in for the first month or so, customising templates can be a pain in the hole. Cushy lets you just add a class to your content's div and make changes through the browser.. Its like adobes new incontext editing, but better.... check her out. If your looking for something more complex go to wordpress or joomla. |

| Though it is a old thread but could not stop myself from adding what i know,since i have come across very interesting recently which full fills the criteria of simple and easy to use CMS completely.Infact this CMS was developed keeping non programmers in mind.its name is zimplit It has following features: 1.No Database. 2.Not a single line of code is required to integrate a website template into CMS. 3.And yes as you said updating the content is almost like word,any body who has worked on word can operate this CMS. |
