I just built my first radiant site: www.parroquiaholyspirit.com. It's still a work in progress.
I really enjoyed working with Radiant and the community around it. Details Since we were on a shoestring budget we chose a free template from www.oswd.org to build our site. Which brings me to of my favorite things about Radiant: most CMS force you to massage the template so that it works with the particular CMS and you end up with all of the sites that look pretty much the same, with Radiant you "massage" Radiant so that it works with the template you have chosen. The template had 4 different page layouts which I implemented using Radiant's layouts. The header, main and footer menus took advantage of snippets. The css for the menus was based on this article http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/. For the contact form I installed the mailer extension and built the form around it. This may not be the best practice, but I just parked the css files in the public/stylesheets folder. Issues The only issue I had is that sometimes the documentation was a little sketchy, especially on some of the extensions. Maybe something I can contribute to. Future project I am planning on having an events extesion that would allow 1. The admin to add/publish and delete events on a page based on an event category 2. Users to submit events for publication Suggestions I think it would be useful if we split the user role into 2: authors and editors. The main difference would be that authors can only create draft content, editors would have the same rights as the current user role. Thanks for a great tool.
