The Beginning Is the End of the Beginning…

Today I have spent a majority of my time researching various CMS’ or Content Management Systems. Up to this point I have been handcoding every website I have ever built. This has been fine until you get into an area like a church that is representative of so many subsets of ministries you need a library to keep things straight. In comes a CMS to rescue the confused, but I have a confession to make…

I’m a graphic snob. I mean, I just finished 12 hours of Drupal essential training, and it’s a great CMS for what it does. BUT the ability to customize the ‘themes’ is limited to the box it comes in. This may be acceptable to most, but something inside of me keeps saying…”Really? That’s it?”

So my search begins to find a more suitable candidate for my CMS query. Expression Engine? Nope, too much money and a steep learning curb. Drupal? Just went there….Joolma? Haha….seriously. WordPress? Ehh.

So I’m at the end of the day, back at the beginning. Anyone know a good CMS that fits ‘into’ a custom design instead of ‘customizing a theme’ to fit your CMS?
