Hi this s my first post on the forum so please be gentle with me.

I am building a community based web site listing all the business and clubs etc within a given area.

We aim to provide all the local charites and social clubs with a page each, unique to them and want to provide a means by which they can edit themselvs. Any sugestions this needs to be as cheap an alternative as possible as we are woefully underfunded.

Many thanks.

I would try using Wordpress MU. It allows users to create their own separate page. And it's FREE to use.

Mambo and Joomla are IMO THE best CMS' around, as:

1. Their free
   
2. There are addons for practicaly every type of site
   
3. They are easy to install
   
4. and easy to skin up
   
5. Mambo runs on php 3 or 4+
   

I just checked it out, it really is very indepth and seems to cover everything a novice would need to get started.

 

Thanks alot for that Martin, one worth booking.

 

Wow - that is fantastic - that's really going to help me get my blog up and running when I get round to doing it...so easy to follow!!!! Thanks!!!
