I am looking for a platform to develop a website which would have public and private content for registered/authenticated and paid members. There would be numerous membership groups each with their own content and several levels of membership. I have considered Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, other CMSs as well as "regular" site construction with Dreamweaver or Fusion with a script to manage access. Can any one describe any advantages to eZ Publish over those other options? Secondly, if I chose eZ Publish, are there resources that could assist with the design of the site structure? I have played around a little bit with a trial local install and it seems that figuring out how to fit my site needs into modules, roles, policies, user groups, class, section, state, workflow groups & processes, products, subitems, communities, companies, relations and locations (did I miss any) could be a bit confusing. I can build it but if I had a map of how it would be best structured it would be much easier. Thank you for any information, thoughts or ideas.

"I have considered Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, other CMSs as well as "regular" site construction with Dreamweaver or Fusion with a script to manage access. Can any one describe any advantages to eZ Publish over those other options?" - Michael Dahle Michael, Go to http://ez.no/ezpublish and take 10 minutes to read the items "What is a CMS?", "Use eZ Publish", "Manage eZ Publish", and "Develop with eZ Publish". Then you will already know some key features that make eZ Publish to a CMS of the top class. The workflows you can create with eZ Publish are very well suited to manage access to various content for your paid members. Of course, a so sophisticated and powerful system like eZ Publish comes with some complexity and requires somewhat more time to learn it than a limited CMS. But the return on investment is high.
