To create a GOOD custom CMS you're going to pay thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars. Sure, someone could slap something together for a few hundred bucks, but it will be way more headaches than its worth.

After that you have the problems of maintaining it. You have to either be able to track down the original programmer every time you want a change/update/fix or find another programmer to dig though someone else's code which is something programmers absolutely hate.

On the other hand, you could pick up a tested, prepackaged product with 90%+ (maybe even 100%) of what you want already done for $150/mo and then either learn how to configure it with smarty to do what you want, via unlimited support from us or hire someone on an hourly basis to do your initial setup how you want it and use our support for ongoing questions.
