      Also a good solution: fire up VS2012/2013 and create a new application and, voila, bootstrap all built in. Nice and easy. The you can change out the css to get the look you want from a variety of different sources like Bootswatch[^]. Very easy to do. :thumbsup:

        We had Sharepoint on our server at one point; no idea where it went. But back then I never found anyone - even here - who had any idea what to do with it, what it was good for, or how to use it. But that's generally what I need, a Sharepoint portal that a non-techie can easily populate and maintain.

            That's a good idea too (using VS)! Bootswatch is also great with some flamboyant colors like the ones in http://bootswatch.com/amelia/[^]!

                  We've got to do better at work, and I don't have the time or interest to write anything. We have a clever lady in the office who is willing to figure out how to use a decent web development tool set, but she has no interest in becoming a guru. Does someone know of a packaged solution that can handle a small website, dashboard, calendar, event schedule, etc, that a non-developer can maintain easily? It doesn't have to be free, but it does have to be easy.

                  Does Wordpress and its plugins not fit the bill? I use it for my sites, has plugins like event calendars, user friendly dashboard, etc.

                        When I need to get a website up and running quickly, I use Joomla[^] ...there are tons of plugins for it, free and paid, including calendars, e-commerce, social networking, photo gallery, etc etc...see here for available extensions: http://extensions.joomla.org/[^] If you need custom content you can use a Content Construction Kit (CCK) plugin like K2 or Seblod; lets you make custom article types. ...and there are tons of templates out there, free and paid...one of the best paid template places I've found is Rocket Theme[^] You need PHP and MySQL installed, which will also run fine under IIS, which is what I use for development, then usually deploy to a Linux box. Your users can edit articles via the 'front end' right on the page or through the 'back end' which is where all the settings as well as content, plugins, modules, etc are managed. There are users and roles and you can restrict content based on the user's role if you want. Good luck!

                          Unfortunately, even a developer will weep tears of blood trying to make it do anything more than that.

                          Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                                It sounds sort of like what a CMS would do. DotNetNuke, Umbraco, and, arg, that other one that's Java based but looks really good, might fit the bill. Most of these are "plug and play" to add the aforementioned components. Gads, for that matter, WordPress might even be a possibility. Marc

                                  I loathe PHP, but my answer to questions like this, is always Wordpress. It's widely used, widely supported, and has plugins for just about anything you'd want.

                                        Unfortunately, even a developer will weep tears of blood trying to make it do anything more than that.

                                        Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                                        If you want an out of the box solution it isn't bad. Customization is another kettle of fish.

                                          We've got to do better at work, and I don't have the time or interest to write anything. We have a clever lady in the office who is willing to figure out how to use a decent web development tool set, but she has no interest in becoming a guru. Does someone know of a packaged solution that can handle a small website, dashboard, calendar, event schedule, etc, that a non-developer can maintain easily? It doesn't have to be free, but it does have to be easy.

                                          Will Rogers never met me.
