Hi All,
I'm just finishing up my first production CMSMS web site. It was a rapid redesign of an existing site. I'm still waiting on the customer to provide the ALT text to use for all the photo's, so that'll get added soon.
New CMSMS site: http://www.btgetbackup.com
Old Site: http://www.bt42.com
Let me know your thoughts, thanks.

I notice many major improvements:
- Valid XHTML
- Fluid full-width 3-cols layout
- Better color scheme
- Contact form with mailer
- Footer with usefull contact info
- And, of course, all the advantages of a true CMS.
It's a lot better. Great job!

Thanks for the kind words.
mark, I'm not aware of a simple way to make the images pop up like a photo album... but I am open for any ideas you may have. My only concern is that I need to keep it simple so the customer can maintain the site without too many problems.
Simplicity and intuitive workflow are a couple of key reasons I love CMSMS so much, it allows me to build a site that an end user can easily maintain. I just make sure to go the extra effort and create custom content templates that they can selected from within FCKeditor (with pictures of course) and define the CSS so that styles are applied to elements based on their location in the page so the user doesn't even have to select CSS classes from the drop down menu.
