Good afternoon, I am looking to move a website built in Dreamweaver to a CMS system but with no in-house IT, technical or developer resource. Ideally I want to manage the process in-house or just buy-in technical support for the install and for a basic support package in-case of downtime. I have spoken to a few companies who have developed their own CMS systems but I am keen to know if there is a more broadly used CMS that might be more suitable to our needs and that will allow us a greater element of management control? Does anyone have any advice? Many thanks anon.

Thanks Jason - I've used DotNetNuke in the past but at the time it required quite a lot of customisation which I had to get a developer to do - based on that I've been thinking it might be too complicated for me - i'll take another look though and at EPiServer - thank you for your advice.

Hi there, thanks for your response - the skills are very much design and marketing based. One option would be to work closely with a freelance developer who understands our chosen CMS and can provide ongoing support - alternatively it seems the other easiest option is to work with one of the smaller companies we have spoken to and adopt their CMS - this option worries me though as I don't want to get tied into using a CMS and losing ownership of our site moving forward and then finding out the CMS isn't scalable for instance, requiring costly add-ins etc. Or if for whatever reason the relationship goes stale and the system can't be supported elsewhere. I've had my fingers burned before with this so I am cautious, however time is moving on and I need to get something implemented. What CMS did you opt for in the end? BR

Hi,

There are all sorts of systems out there that cater for all sorts of functions. Some are free and some cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Without some information about how your site functions - your requirements - it's hard to give you advice.

How about posting the URL to your website as a start?
