I saw Joomla mentioned - so I thought I would plug Plone - a great CMS built on Zope.
It's super cool. It has a large user base. It has a large developer base. It's fun. It's well documented. It even has KSS - an AJAX library. It's robus. It's Python. It has a Cheese Shop. It has conferences. It's open source. It's an option worth looking into. Check them out at plone.org -mike On Nov 13, 2007 8:57 PM, Amos Shapira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 14/11/2007, Gilad Ben-Yossef <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > When creating a SMALL BUSINESS WEB SITE (which is what the question was > > about), coding HTML and CSS by hand is a gross mistake.
