| Thanks for all the tips and apologies for not being clearer in my original post, there will be no need for online purchasing, the site will have a products page with a list of bikes (pictures, prices, a bit of info text). The person visiting the site will then contact the seller or visit the garage. The person I'm doing the site for wants to be able to remove old pictures and add new ones themselves once I've designed it. |

| Lots of people will say Joomla ... I'll say CMS Made Simple ... cus its really ... quite simple  templating is a dream with it .. very little programming knowledge needed for the most part.All depends on which programming language you want though ... Both require PHP / MySQL and are among the more popular Failing that maybe you want to investigate one of the shopping cart systems that are out there and just remove payment and adding to carts ? OSCommerce / ZenCart .. |

| Hi Nuwanda, Let us know how you got on with cmsMS - did it meet your needs for the small job? ..it was one of the CMS's that we were first considering and then we came across MODX which is working out great. Of course we Eat/Drink/Sleep ZenCart for most of our sites (especially as we can TURN ON/OFF purchasing allowing sites to be in Showcase/Sales modes), but having a back up CMS for some clients sites, and of course based on their overall requirements, is key. Do you have reference to the cmsMS site that was built as I'd like to see it in action. |

| That was a sheepish "I'll get my coat" cough not a knowing one Forbairt. But I have installed it and it works!! It took about twenty minutes to figure out how to add a new header, pages and fiddle with the layout, for me thats a minor miracle, up there with getting Ariel Sharon to do stand up at the annual Hamas dinner dance. Thanks again!! |
