Hello ez community,

I am a web developer who has two clients with similar site self-management needs. I have zero first hand experience but believe CMS is the right approach for them and would appreciate your advice.

Both clients want me to design/setup their web sites using my page design and navigation templates. The sites are information oriented, no selling. One site wants to keep an updatable member list and provide online sign up for events (no online payment required). Both site owners want to periodically update the page contents - text, graphics and spreadsheet tables. Neither of these clients has coding experience (translate as code-phobic) and they both want an MS Word/Excel type of input method for their sites.

I would appreciate your advice as to whether ezPublish (or perish the thought) another cms system is right for this project.

Thanks for taking the time to respond,
RockDoc

Hi,

I would use eZ Publish NOW or eZ 3.9.x with the eZ NOW templates.

You should be able to use just CSS or minimal changes. This of course depends in the Information architecture of the site. I think you will be ok.

Check out some of the 7 days trials for eZ NOW or just download and setup on your local box.

eZ Now is a great solution.

It allows you to bring up a polished site in just a few hours, that your client can manage directly.
