For some years I develop website. Unfortunately this often followed up by regulary work with updating content and expanding the website.

Just in this moment I would better doing that kind of work that is waiting to be done. But this is the most stupid and unsatisfying work a webdesigner can do. While webstandards teached us to divide content, structure and design so it is not surprising that I feel annoyed with that content work. Hardcoded content is absolutely crappy to maintain but the only way would be a complete new website…

But… hey, what is about a content management system?

Some thoughts pro and con CMS:
* everybody can handle content
* noone but me would do it, at last a client on his own
* available CMS like Typo3, drupa, Textpattern… are mostly bloated and have too much community features that no business website really needs
* the templates and CSS need a lot of work to get familiar with them. It is mostly a real steep learning curve so it will take much time until you can handle a CMS like the website needs it.

When everybody gots a hint which CMS is lightweighted, felxible and adaptable so please drop me a line. My focus would be on a CMS that can handle crossmedia content easily, has a simple markup like textile and can be adapted to any design idea that comes across.
