RE: UKNM: Content Management Systems

>From my experience the best content management systems are built from

scratch for a project. Off the shelf solutions tend to lead to a certain way

of working that may not be right for the project. The only exception being

large multidimensional projects where generic solutions will work.


It's also amazing what you can do with a perl script and a small bit of FTP!



Note I don't speak for the guru status content strategists I work with.
