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.

I have several friends and family members that want to set up small websites for their businesses or hobbies. Of course, then they'll want to customize them and make them look like this or like that. And add a page, and edit a page, etc. You've probably been in the same spot - you're the "computer guy" in the family - obviously I can't build them something custom (we're talking free). And I don't want to maintain it for them forever, etc... So - do you know of any good website packages out there? I'm not even sure what the right name would be. But it would need to have these requirements: - Total non-technical control over adding and editing pages / content (wysiwyg) - Control looks by using themes that can be downloaded or maybe editing CSS - Possibly plugins for things like RSS feeds / contact pages / and/or e-commerce stores - Can be any language - I have a server to put it on, so I'm not adverse to PHP / Python / MySQL / etc... - Preferably I unzip a copy of it to a directory for them, give them access to the admin (maybe setup a MySQL DB for them), and I'm DONE! I've even thought of trying to build this out of BRIX, but I'm not sure that's the right answer, plus then there wouldn't be any plugins already available.
