RE: OFF TOPIC - all-in-one wysiwyg website package?
Take a look at Joomla 1.5 (www.joomla.org). If you have a linux box with Apache/php/MySql the Joomla installation is just to unzip the distribution and run a litte menu driven install program. Administration is easy, plugins for nearly every purpose are available. 3 designs are part of the base package, more skins and designs can be installed by the administrator. Good luck!

What about just starting with Google Sites: http://www.google.com/sites/overview.html ? It's free and easy. Good for a static website, which sounds like what you are looking to produce. -Richard On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 4:05 AM, Stefan Lindner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Take a look at Joomla 1.5 (www.joomla.org).

I've used Wordpress for this a number of times. Easy to customize and extend.

Re: OFF TOPIC - all-in-one wysiwyg website package?
I'd suggest taking a look at CityDesk - (http://www.fogcreek.com/CityDesk/), which doesn't require any server-side support. It's a Windows program that generates a site and transfers it to any web server automatically, using FTP or file copy. You can setup the site look feel, etc, in 'design mode', switch that off then pass the site over to someone who can then easily add/update it using standard Windows functionality. The starter edition's free and supports up to 50 pages on a site, which would cover most small sites. It's not actively developed, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work might be what's needed! /Gwyn On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 2:48 AM, Jeremy Thomerson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is off-topic, but I figured there couldn't be a better pool of people to ask.

Re: Re: OFF TOPIC - all-in-one wysiwyg website package?
Are you looking for a website package with data retention support (file / database / jcr), wysiwyg editor and customizable components? I suggest you to take a look at Magnolia, Alfresco or OpenCMS. I rather prefer Magnolia actually, but the others are not bad though. Cheers!

Re: OFF TOPIC - all-in-one wysiwyg website package?
Hi Jeremy, I believe Webnode (http://www.webnode.com/en/) may be what you're looking for... It's far superior than Synthasite, which is already quite good. Both are perfect tools for almost static sites as they support contact forms, as well as a number of interactive widgets. Both also offer professional quality, fully customizable templates, but Webnode's are really beautiful and their CSS code is open.
