Full CMS - How much is it worth? Support
Doing a bit of market research in that I am looking for what the majority of developers/designers would pay for a complete content management system to use on their clients web site. Not an extension but a ready made CMS, easy to customise and use on your clients web site. Many features:
Basically, everytime you use the CMS for a client, you change the template and away you go. No need to rewrite code, spend hours developing custom system for new client... how much would this be worth to you.... considering hours of work and effort involved??
Be honest with your answer. If quality is high, what would you honestly pay?
This is not an advertisement but market research to gather other developers/designers opinion!!

This already exists for that price!
You can find the product at [no self promotion please]
Uses Rich Text Editor, traffic/search tracking, image resizing, secure admin utility for $499!
RE: This already exists for that price!
The product I am talking about has not yet been released on the market. It is different then the one you mentioned above and much more user friendly for the designer, developer and the end user.
RE: RE: This already exists for that price!
Yes, that is what I have already created at [no self promotion please]
Uses two include files/dwt files for the framework. Uses a rich text editor for adding content/updating content. Has the ability to add and remove images. Also has search and complete tracking system. Included is image resizing, forms to request additional product information, secure admin utility, image reporting (size|color resolution|date added etc)
This is a complete system, believe me! It was just released last week. It is listed on Aspin.com. It can be installed with complete instructions and NO ASP knowlege required. It has been critically acclaimed already by many veteran ASP developers!
It's not worth .....that much
Nothing beats doing it yourself the pain, anguish, then the joy of success are not worth $499.
If i were to pay $499 for the product it should do the following:-
It must produce valid (xhtml) markup.
It must be very intuitive.
it must have no DLL's in it.
There must be a fantastic help system.
Content must be seperated from design.
There's your answer
