CMS Jam Content Management Systems: News and Resources

If you want to do more than dip your toes into the CMS water, and would like to do a little extra customization of your CMS, you might want to consider purchasing CMS Builder. This tool makes the process of creating your new site fairly easy (although I’m not sure I would believe the less-than-5-minute claims they make). If you already have a design in mind (or an existing web site), you simply use their generator to create code for you to manage each section of your site (news, about us, contact us, etc.), adding, editing, and deleting fields to store the data as needed. Then, you copy/paste that generated code into your site’s design template. You can further customize that code by tweaking the html it generates if you’d like.

It’s not free, but for a fairly reasonable price (either $299 for purchase of the software outright, or $19.95/month for a subscription), you know you’ll receive some support and hand-holding if you need it. You can watch their demo video to see if it looks like something that would be right for you. They also note that it is 100% rebrandable, which could be useful if you want to be able to build websites for clients, and give them a way to manage their own content. This one is worth considering when you are looking for the perfect CMS for you.
