Well done for such a good open source CMS

Dear All,
I have always been accustomed to Joomla and its very vast range of extensions. All the websites that I had done before where with joomla. However joomla at times gets way to bulks and complicated for simple jobs. So I wanted something simpler, something that I can easily explain my clients on how to use and modify accordingly. Most importantly I wanted something FAST and EFFICIENT.
A few google searches later lead me to CMS Made Simple. I immediately fell in love with its simple design and its no nonsense approach to modules - the XML installation is a BIG plus. I was impressed by how easily I could modify the template to my whim and arrange all the necessary modules with CSS etc.
I managed to create a website for my client in SIX hours - fully functional, efficient, neat and ready to go.
Well done to all the developers working to this project. You have created a fantastic project - something which I am sure is slowly changing the CMS world
Regards
Richard

Awesome stuff to hear, it's a big compliment to Ted and his crew!
Can we see the site you made, or isn't it live (yet)?
