I run over 70 websites related to london airport transfers and taxi 'niche' and went through several CMS systems including drupal, joomla, typo3 etc... but still keep looking for THE ONE dedicated for a fairly simple designs with 'friendly urls' and 'wordpress' style, easy for an avarege windows user back end to put some new content on. Silverstripe (after a glance) seems to be a good candidate to become THE CMS for my projects. Still uploading I cannot wait to install it and start testing out.

Obviously I full endorse its use, but I would like to tell you why its brilliant. Every system has its floors, no arguing here. I mean even the Linux OS has bugs. So the CMS is great because like Linux the turn around time for bug fixes is speedy and the company provide free support to anyone using their CMS. However Linux is bulky and hard for the average user to use, this is where the CMS is better because it has a simple interface that anyone can pick up the most advanced of its features in about five minutes. As having built several sites on the CMS I can tell you that it isn't a hindrance to make it on the CMS as most developers find that CMS's are either to advanced or hold you back, it can bring the right amount of level to you. This makes it a great tool for developers to resell, because the end user loves its inviting looks and simplicity but the advanced developer can set up the CMS no fuss and develop at their own level. I hope that might help you in understanding why I like it so much. Thanks Jonathan As someone who has worked on the CMS produced by “CMS from scratch” in Ben’s post above.

It's not free, at GBP100, but it's extremely quick to use to make a client-updatable site. We'll have some demo videos up in the next week. All feedback welcome. Cheers. http://cmsfromscratch.com/ I’d appreciate anyone’s thoughts on the AJAX/PHP CMS I’ve just published. It’s not free, at GBP100, but it’s extremely quick to use to make a client-updatable site.

SilverStripe templates are essentially static, valid XHTML with a few tags inserted (rather than restrictive files that you try to bash in the head to look like what you want). Configuration files are PHP Objects; you use your PHP knowledge in a way similar to Cake. Read Tutorial 1 at http://doc.silverstripe.com to get an idea of this. Workflow management: yes; in the Security model you can set groups to to be SilverStripe Users which doesn't give them the "Publish" button, and you can set up email notification to the publishers.

How to create a template and apply it on the site. There is nothing in the demo to do the same. 2. Is there any support for workflow management? i.e. one guy writes content and submits for approval and the second guy approves it and then the content goes live.
