Content Management System Woes
 

I'm on my second content management system now, and both seem to be shit frankly. Buggy, frustrating and a waste of time so far.

Things work then don't work. Support doesn't respond after payment. Promises are made and broken over features.

I was promised a refund by the first cms company, as they said their software could calculate video duration over icq and email...yet once I paid the initial $650, had the software installed and training, they said actually that feature is 'not ready yet'. I'm still waiting for the refund check.

Disappointed. :(

Stay away from "unknown" software... Go for stuff that is already popular in the marked...

Awiz, sitedepth and nats should be pretty safe choices. Not perfect, but good enough

Have something custom written. If you need a programmer, I can give you the name of ours.

I second that.

wow the topic is from 2007!

I am still contemplating if I should buy one from one of the big 3 (MAS, NATS, ElvX) or develop it using http://www.joomla.org/. The current customer i am working with cost is not much of an issue but adding new functions is key.

Joomla is the worst. Dont even consider it.

Its not a real CMS.

you get what you pay for

I think Carma is great. We never had one problem with it that we didnt cause ourselves.

Anyone here using AdultSiteCMS?

What are other open source CMS (or a CMS where we can get the source code).

Man, it can be a nightmare. Hang in there.

or you can try AdultSiteCMS :-)

Spend a couple grand if you can and get something custom wrote.

You don't need to spend a grand to get the best CMS around. Ours just cost below $300!

I am looking at 2 different solutions now

http://www.telerik.com/products/sitefinity.aspx and http://expressionengine.com/

Customization is the key for me.

Here's a out of the box thought, have you looked at tube scripts as a possible solution? :winkwink:

The CMS is completely customizable which is why we have it look this way. You have the ability to completely modify it anyway you want. We are currently developing some pre-made templates.

Resurrecting ancient-ness? :winkwink:

I use ElevatedX and heartily recommend it.

stop bumping old ass threads

Just stumbled on this thread, and figured I would bump it one more time for $standaman :)

You may want to check out our system, we offer a wide range of features, while still being completely customizable, without having to learn an entirely new template programming language.

Has been a while since I have cruised through GFY, but would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
