Andreas,
I would recommend using Drupal. it is an open-source CMS that has been around for a few years now (I will plug it, because I am a drupal developer). You have FULL control over the frontend. You can make themes in pure PHP, or create them in PHPTemplate in XHTML then put the PHP content calls in the layout.
the administration panel loads within the frontend (seems strange, but it is the best solution I have seen yet), if you have the proper permissions to do so, so it will have the same accessible as the theme you design for it.
Check it out at www.drupal.org.
Any more questions about this, let me know, and I will be more than happy to give you a hand solving them.
Kind regards, Nathan Wheatley

Hi guys,
I am new to this newsgroup - have been around the WSG one so far. I'm interested to see what's going on in this one...
What I am looking for is an open-source CMS that allows me to create accessible websites. Is there something like that out there?
A product I have used so far is called CM3 by Melbourne company DDSN. Quite
a nice product: it gives the developer pretty much full control over the
frontend - all I do is insert a little placeholder function into my pages
where I want the dynamic content to appear. But the program also has a range
of bugs that I have been fighting with over the last months.
So now I am searching for something new: PHP driven, if possible. All our
websites fulfil W3C AA or AAA, so I would like to continue that with this
CMS. Of course the best would be if the admin could be accessible as well!
Any recommendations?
Cheers,
Andreas.
