CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello,

I work for a web company that specializes in sites for law firms, and I am researching what would be the best CMS for our law firm sites. I have read up on CMS Made Simple and it looks like it might be good for us to use.

Most of our sites are just static page, with little dynamics and programming, except for stuff like contact pages and whatnot. Most sites we do have a section of practice areas, an attorney section, about page, community pages, etc. You can see an example of our sites here: http://www.lawyernc.com/

We need something easy for clients or anyone in our company to easily pick up. Do you think CMS Made Simple would be good for us to use? We are considering Wordpress also but that seems more of a blogging platform.

Thanks for any feedback or suggestions.

Thanks!

Kevin

CMS Made Simple has been the easiest system for me to train my clients in - and I've tried most of the other major systems (Joomla, Drupal, Mambo).

I have a law firm as a client, and their computer illiterate paralegal is able to update their pages on CMS Made Simple without my help.  The key is to lock down the user permissions so that they don't have many choices.

I too chose CMS Made Simple because of it's simplicity for both the developer and the end user (your client). It's easy for you to configure and setup, when you finally release it to your client they won't be overwhelmed when it comes time to make changes.

You can also limit their functionality in the TinyMCE WYSIWYG by removing buttons. This will reduce the confusion for them and reduce the chances of them breaking the layout of your pages.
