Hi Matteo,
thank you very much for your soon reply. It was helpfull. So first I will try to learn as much as I can about Magnolia. Than If I will have some questions I will write back to forum. I wrote this article because I was not sure if Magnolia is right way for me. As you write that it is possible to use Magnolia in my way (depend on my requirements) I will learn more. Thanks again.
