I'll second the Textpattern reccomendation. It's free, and the learning curve is very reasonable. It's easy for complete beginners to use the system. And it cuts development time by a siginifigant ammount because it uses a logical, non-constraining template system. Matt On 8/16/05, morten

Textpattern gets my vote too - I've found that it is very flexible. We've used it for several sites including www.cope.ltd.uk and www.selfcateringshetland.com. All the sites we've used it for so far have been static, i.e. 'non-blog' - there is no real problem setting this up once you understand
