I am looking for a new content management system for our websites. The one we are using is fine, but wondering if there is a more user friendly one outthere. We are currently using ICMS and overall the customer reviews are fine.

We had to put an online tutorial together to help some of the customers who are still fresh to the whole website thing.

Is there a system out there that works like PowerPoint?

I like Soholaunch's Pro Edition. While it's not strictly a CMS, it's a Site Builder which is almost the same thing, it's really easy to use. So easy that I use e-mail to instruct clients who to do their own content.

I'll install it, set up a few bits and pieces then let them do the rest. I also do constant backups while they fiddle.

The blurb from Soholaunch is pretty accurate:
It installs on the server and mods are made in real time, also on the sever, using your browser. No stuff on the PC. You can also install chunks of HTML etc.

Cheers,

Mike

Thanks Mike. I will look into it.

wordpress.... seriously the best cms in the business.... even though its not designed for it, it works a treat, millions of plugins free as well

WordPress is a blogging tool, Expression Engine is a proper CMS.

I've been pretty happy with Joomla, having played with it quite a bit, on and off, over a few years.

Must give SohoLaunch a go though - I've heard good things about it elsewhere too

Drupal/Joomla would be my personal favourites

Hence saying it is normally not a cms I understand it is for blogging I use it quite a bit... but compared to almost every other cms i have used, it compares or is much better than... give it a go if you don't believe me.

Doh! Missed that bit. I've used it before for a really quick site for an unexpected event. It was handy as I had it up and running and the site done in only a couple of hours.

Thanks Guys, really appreciate the feedback. I will try Joomla, I have heard good things about it. Does it have newsletter modules etc?

I love joomla personally..

personally i have a fair range of php knowledge so i made my own... less boat and easy to modify and keep it running smoothly. and less code = less potential security issues. and less usage also means its less likely to be attacked.
