Hi muggers
I have a query regarding CMS (content management system) for a web
site. I have only just heard about this from a web designer who says
it is very necessary for my quite simple web site, as Im wanting to
make my site more interesting and be able to update with more
information over time.
My question is how will I know if I need to have this, as it is
expensive and by the sounds of it ties me down to their hosting of
my site so I can use the CMS to update the site. The hosting is
quite expensive, relative to what I pay now. They are charging
$360/year just to host the site.
Could someone please give me some advice or online sites that I can
check out to help me make a decision. I am a complete novice but
eager to learn what I can.
I have dabbled in Golive 6, but at the moment have no spare time and
realise there is a lot more to making a good site than at a first
glance.
Many thanks to everyone
Chris
Free content management systems that are around are
MySource: <http://mysource.squiz.net/>

PostNuke:

If you need net hosting there is the community bur.st site which is
run on donations, pay them what you think it's worth:

I'm sure you could find someone to help you set the site up on bur.st
with a CMS for less than $360! Of course you'd want backups etc...
Have fun,
Shay
