Any CMS recommendations?

The Little One

I was recently asked to quote for building a website. This person =
wanted to be able to update it himself.
I told him there were two routes
1. Buy Contribute and I teach him how to use it.
2. Or I could build a CMS system. I've done this before by creating a =
database driven site in ASP. There would be an admin area he could log =
into and then add/amend/delete text and add an image through an HTML =
editor. But Contribute would give him far more flexibility as to what =
he can change.

In the end he went with another company because they could provide him =
with a CMS which gave him the flexibility of Contribute (i.e. he could =
add brand new pages and alter the design of pages) and from any internet =
access point.=20

This has got me thinking. This other company must have quite a smart =
CMS system in place and I need to be able to compete in the future. I =
haven't got time to sit down and write a whole new system and I'm sure =
that there are ones already available, so why reinvent the wheel!

Can anyone recommend a CMS system which I could buy and set up for =
future customers. (Preferrably one that uses ASP as I have no knowledge =
of PHP or Coldfusion)

Thanks,

Have a look at ACE from www.yusasp.com as it will give you all the
functionality you want.

I'm just waiting for approval to purchase WebEdit Pro.

It looks very good.
