| I sometimes build (static) web sites for customers. Sooner or later,
they want the option to edit the site (content) on their own. At this
point, I already have a complete, XHTML compliant layout, normally with
several content regions (main content, sidebar).
Alas, many of them are on a shoestring budget and can't afford a
commercial solution like Macromedia Contribute.
So what I need is a really leightweight, PHP-based CMS that:
- allows me to use my own templates (without the CMS adding to the
code)
- allows me to define several editable regions (content, sidebar)
- integrates a (preferrably visual) editor for my non-HTML-speaking
clients.
Nothing more than that.
I have fiddled around with Wordpress, but even when "stripping it
down", there is too much Weblog-related stuff for the end user.
I am thinking of something like Macromedia's Contribute approach: Just
editable content in a pre-defined template, not dozens of dashboards
and menus.
Any idea?
