thanks steve, I am kind of leaning towards drupal from what I've read so far. what do you think would be a reasonable amount of time an agency would require to develop a web site (visual appearance only, no texts) containing the following: welcome page about me products and services terms and conditions newsletter subscription page reference page (50% external links) link page to my other activities pages shouldnt look all the same with only text differing but rather there should be an overall theme plus a sub theme for each topic thanks again ecke
