ezPublish - do you think that it is user friendly?

Hi all

I have been trialling ezPublish now for a couple of weeks and I am beginning to understand it, and I am very impressed with the product. I am looking for a cms of this type that I can hopefully sell to my clients.

Now here is what I can not understand: I have been a web developer for about 6-7 years now and have a fairly good understanding of these types of things, HOWEVER, if I roll this out for a client to manage their website they are going to get lost within 10 seconds. From what I can see, ezPublish is not a system for a novice or a beginner of any sort.

So, is it me? Am I missing something crucial here, or does ezPublish require an experienced person to support a website running this product? If this is the case does anyone have any simpler alternatives for a cms that the average client could learn and use??

regards

I personally think that ezSystem has a good product. I have been a web developer for over 3 years and have found ezPublish to be quite robust. That said, I think what this product needs is a quick "here's how to modify the templates" tutorial followed by a "here's how the whole thing works" tutorial. I think that as users of this product see it look the way they want they will then understand how it can be used for their purposes.

Does this make sense?
