Hi Connie, Plum is overkill for this, only by the fact that it will generate more functionality than you need initially, probably. But you can just easily ignore the functionality you don't need by simply removing the links in the navbar (leave the content on your development machine so you can use it later if you need to)..
I have built a couple small sites with Plum that took about a day to build and deploy. I built some content pages for the administrators to work with and they were off. On the plus side, you can generate a starter app in 5 minutes (as you know) that has all kinds of starter content that you can just modify or discard if you don't need it. The simple, but effective CMS built into will easily let you setup your customer's newsletter, that he can manage easily. Plus you have a complete access control system built in. There is always that learning curve. But it will be that way with Fusebox also, or onTap, or whatever you use. v/r, Jeff Fleitz On 7/26/05, Connie DeCinko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Now that I've had the opportunity to take a closer look at Plum, I can see > that it is a very powerful and good code generator/framework for ColdFusion > apps.
