I'm taking the plunge and need to learn a simple CMS as I'm fed up of avoiding this vital part of my business - what to do when clients want to be able to update their website themselves. Last week I had the biggest nightmare with Contribute but luckily the client was a really good friend of mine and we ended up ditching Contribute and using my copy of Dreamweaver - not the most ideal solution...so I'm in the middle of designing a new site for a new client and thought it's about time to take the plunge...so wondered what you thought of this software:<br /><br />CMS Made Simple<br /><br />I have no programming skills so this kind of thing scares the crap out of me, but I need to get style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Ben suggested cutenews to me ages ago for another project but I never got round to finishing the work as the client's wife had a baby and the website has been put on the back burner until further notice.<br /><br />Basically with this new job the clients needs to be able to add new pages within each section of the site and so I thought a fully fledged CMS would be better than cutenews.<br /><br />I need to make the plunge and learn a CMS so that I can implement it on all the sites that I build in the future and if it means learning how to set up a database then so be it - it's about time I moved up a notch in my skills and abilites as I've not learnt anything new in ages and it would be great to have a CMS as part of the services I can offer.<br /><br />I just want to know if this one is a good CMS or not and if not what is a bette option - so long as it's EASY.<!--content-->
