We've been playing with CMSystems lately.
CMS (content management system) are nothing new. In-fact they have been around in varying levels of complexity for several years. 'Back in the day' when people were just learning about the 'web' and 'google' are very own Andy had already developed a fairly powerful CMS system for a large marketing company he worked for.
Today, there are blogging systems (Wordpress, TypePad) and website management systems (Drupal, Joomla etc.). The issue I have with these systems is that they have quite a high overhead in the 'learning department'. That is, they don't make it really easy for the average Joe to edit content without a good sit-down, plenty of coffee and some patience. Now, that can be great for us as it means clients will often ask us to theme, train and help with such systems.
However, the CMS should just work with the site - and not have a site that has to work around the CMS.
Soon, we will release associateMe. This is a rather nice little CMS system that I could give to my 5 year old daughter and let her publish a 'How many dolls can I collect' website. It also will be powerful enough and feature filled with modern technologies for a large site to utilise.
It will work with the site, flow with the site and basically just be yummy.
Watch this space.
