I have a small client where I have taken their original Flash commerce website and continued to redevelop and maintain it. OK, no big deal with that. The website was originally constructed with flash frontend and a bespoke backend/CMS that seems to be based upon classic asp and access (refrain from comments, please).

I have deliberately kept my involvement to the frontend and the original backend developer has maintained the database and backend admin system. I like it like that because I'm not responsible for that side of the operation. My only server-side involvement is updating some asp functionality to generate a new XML feed from the backend.

I have been looking at moving the site from being a pure flash site to a flash/html hybrid - primarily for SEO purposes and while I have provided bespoke HTML support, it would be great to do this with a simple CMS. My personal favourites for this exercise would be Joomla or Drupal, but the clients host doesn't support PHP or MySQL.

In other circumstances, I would recommend switching host, but I don't want to involve this client in a major upheaval of their business. I've not really been a M$ person always using Unix server variants. Anyone care to recommend a free CMS system that can run on classic ASP and is similar to Joomla or Drupal in terms of functionality? Ideally I'd like the flash in the flash/HTML hybrid to be able to interact with the CMS. Most of the asp based CMS stuff revealed by google has been awful or expensive.

Any suggestions?

Paul
