And frankly, I'm not sure if you can do it without some previous customization from SiteDepth themselves. I know for a fact neither MAS, nor EX nor Sparta can't do many of the included functions in this site without some intensive customization. And that's what CUSTOM means

thanx for the kudos

now, just to be clear, although we do custom CMS, in this particular case it's a TMS (Tour Management System) because they already had a CMS in place and they wanted something to manage a giant tour in a way no CMS can do, hence the load of features. This being said, our custom CMS/TMS + DESIGN costs the same and even less than what most design companies charge for a design alone. And I'm not talking only about the top ones. So feel free to contact us, you'll be greatly surprised

No, it's a custom built. See, I started to play with this 2 years ago with http://mysexbabe.com/ planning to build some standard CMS option (more or less what http://www.adultsitecms.com/ did some time later). Then I realized that the basis of today's internet business is being as unique as possible, trying to give our clients the edge over their competition. Hence we decided to do only custom systems. They're better, more complete, more customizable to each webmaster's needs... in short, something specific for every site to make that site's content pop out. Keep in mind that my strength isn't design or programming per se, but marketing. Thus, we build what's needed to make sales (within the client's specs), and that's why I said above not to be fooled with the bells and whistles: they are there, but they are there for a reason, my clients don't sell design, they sell access to their sites

So the first ones we built were almost free and now we charge a quite little amount of money for TMS and just a little more for CMS. To give you an idea, not much more than what most standard CMSs charge for setup fees only. And then you get a custom system free for life with 100% open source (we don't ZEND anything right now, although maybe we'll do it in further releases with never seen before features we're working on right now)

Why we do this? Because we don't want people to be scared of testing our custom systems because of the price. Personally, I can't even imagine why people with no CMS or very basic CMSs would want not to use a TMS. So, no, the system is not for sale, simply because we can do something custom and better for anyone
