[Hidden-tech] Wanted: website assistance for small-business client

[Richard Danek]

Why a CMS system?

If you are planning on implementing a blog-like experience (where there are
many updates and, over time, you can give people the option to search and
display posts in meaningful ways, the CMS is wonderful.

If you simply want to take over control of your site (because someone else
is doing this for you and it's no longer convenient having them do it, then
something like a WYSIWG editor may be far easier. (The free SeaMonkey is my
favorite for this kind of thing.)

Trying to convert your existing look and feel to a CMS system can sometimes
be a real pain. Finding an existing theme? ...easier, with minimal tweaking
to get it to do what you want.it to do. What's really nice about canned
themes is that you can change them over time to freshen up your site.
Trying to do something like that, keeping your old style? ...not so much.
