CMS system - website

[gibby]

Im trying to find an easy solution for a mate - to allow them to easily put a simple website up that allows them to handle the content.

Can any recommend one that is easy to use, with templates & cheap?


cheers

Not new news but hey...someones gotta say them

Wordpress - Loadsa themes for under £50 (good ones too). Easiest and best for a novice IMHO.
Joomla 2.5 (my fav) - Loadsa templates. But a bit more under the bonnet for your mate to get to grips with.

I agree with itsolduk, Wordpress all the way.

We have built our own CMS, really simple to use and its integrated into all our sites as standard.

I agree with the other guys, Wordpress is by far the best CMS out there and you can do practically anything with it. Most web companies will be able to work with it too so you have plenty of choice.

Wordpress would be the simplest and most cost effective solution for a simple website with back end interface.

To follow on from this though, you've posted this in the ecommerce forum, do they require the ability to sell products on their website as well, or just a CMS website?

If he wants a really easy solution to be create and manage a website using drag and drop, point and click edit of text areas etc. then he could take a look at these easy to use site building solutions:

Weebly: http://www.weebly.com/
Moonfruit: http://www.moonfruit.com/

Both have many built-in design templates as well as allow 3rd party designs.

WordPress is easy to use, but Weebly and Moonfruit are even easier.
