Folks, Completely off topic, but I'd value input from this community in particular. I need to recommend a (replacement) CMS for the public-facing web site for my day job. My wants:
1) NOT Wordpress -- I don't need the security headaches. 2) Allows updates by users who don't know HTML and for whom Markdown is a stretch. (Marketing people.) 3) Has commercial support and hosting available -- if it was just me I could run almost anything on my own. For my day job, however, I need to make sure that the rest of the IT department can still handle things if I get hit by a bus. 4) Minimal customization -- certainly no custom code or scripting. Again, if it was just me..., but it needs to be maintainable down the road. The site has very little necessary in the way of server-side processing; in fact, a CMS is borderline overkill. A good templating system would almost do the trick. A really good templating system that can automatically post selected news item links to Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. would be great. The only problem is that the marketing types can't be trusted even with Markdown. :-P The site needs to be really flashy and eye-catching for marketing purposes, so whatever solution needs to support (or at least not get in the way of) the latest & greatest HTML5/CSS/JS. (I know that the crowd here is generally going to pooh-pooh that, but it's actually appropriate for selling to the target audience. I'm mostly the same way, and have to check my first instincts when dealing with this site.) I've used Plone in the past, but support seems a little thin these days and it's pretty heavyweight for this project. I saw the thread about "Creating a blog..." a year ago, but time has passed and his use case is significantly different from mine. I'm looking for actual, recent experience with a CMS, not "I know a guy who used to run..." kinds of things. Suggestions? --Paul
