Is CMS the answer?

[temi]

If you are struggling with HTML, PHP or order web development platform, perhaps you want to consider using CMS (content management system) to power your website. All you have to do is install and customise it and you have a functional website.
Please ask any question about CMS here.

Do you have any links for cms to demonstrate what it can do and/or how it works?

Any script to power your site, including directory, blog, forum I would consider to be a CMS - it helps you to organize and manage your content...

Some of them are more advanced like Joomla, Drupal, Modx with many modules and bridges to other scripts

So to answer Temi's question - yes, CMS is definitely a way to go even if you are comfortable with coding and design. Why try to invent a wheel?

I would also say yes to CMS.Its easy to use and if you really want your website to be unique you can try to design your own template.

I think CMS (like the LBS?) is what I need in my site. Unfortunately, as a newbie, I am not sure where to begin?

[temi]

what sort of site are you talking about Ping. LBS is not a CMS, it just have some CMS funtion to may life easier for LBS site owner when customising it.
