 And when you say nice cms, do you mean a popular one like joomla, or drupal? Is it easy to make a template for these, and are they very flexible in terms of what design they allow?

| When I say nice I say easy to use, easy to create template for, easy to work with. Joomla is one of these CMSs. I can create a Joomla template in 2 days, without working only on that - because there is just one index file, 1 css file and an xml file ( and the images folder of course ). Drupal is somehow similar, but I have not worked that much with it. |

| I had issues with joomla ... and the pages sub pages ... sub pages .. not being the simplest thing to do ... I found a lot of the basic things were missing and you started having to hack code .. install plugins and so on. Also when I was looking at 1.5 .... a lot of the plugins hadn't been ported so I was running into all sorts of issues. I honestly find CMS Made simple to be extremely easy to use. Pages ... sub pages ... menus and so on ... there are a few things to figure out .. but damn its just nice

| Yeah I did a site in joomla last month and just didnt like it, too confusing to make small changes, dont think i spent enough time learning about it and how to do things. I spoke to a friend of mine who's build his own cms which allows users to change navigation and edit pages, so I'll probably just use that, its seems like the least complicated option, and does all i need it to do. |

| Until your friend goes on holidays ? and you can't get any support cus its a custom system (not saying it would happen ... just be aware there are reasons to use some of the more popular cms's out there) |
