      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.

      Just go to a forum and do a code demand. That's what most people do.

        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. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                      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.

                      Unless you want to do deep customizations, SharePoint is easy to use, otherwise I would suggest Joomla or WordPress.

                          I am in the process of building such a product that will allow a non-technical person to create and manage a website. A bit different from a CMS, simpler in design and use. Do you have or could you make a quick list of basic requirements? Does it need to be like SharePoint and have user lists as well as file posting and sharing? What other prime requirements do you have/need? How will it be used? You mentioned dashboard, calendar, and event scheduling as what I would call "module" needs. What other modules/module type functionality do you need in a basic product? This would be good input for this product/project. I could also put you on the beta release when I have a beta ready. It will at least several months though. Thanks! - Grant

                            Hi I am a newbie on websites but I am looking for a Content Management System that will allow me to give each editor access to a single page, not to the whole site, so they can update their page without affecting anyone elses page (with me as being able to give final OK) I see references to WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal and have tried to look at the documentation of each but cannot find any information on what I want to do. Any advice on which system to use to accomplish my goal and how easy it is to do would be welcome. AJL

                              One other CMS that might be worth consideration is Dot Net Nuke (DNN), the community edition (free) can be found here http://dotnetnuke.codeplex.com/[^]. The wikipedia entry[^] has some basic information and some links. The main site[^] under community and support has some good training material. If you use microsoft then this is worth considering uses SQL server and based on asp.net. There a free modules to cover most requirements, events, forum, document management. All the requirements l have seen in this thread can be met by DNN. There is an active developer community, and plenty of support sites, both free and paid. Personally l have been using it for over 6 years, and have built sites for both community and commercial use. I have used both Wordpress and Joomula, however l still come back to DNN that is more personal preference l suspect :-D.
