CMS? I'm clueless. Any recommendations?

Joined: 11/28/2008

I'm going to start offering template-based flash/html sites (which will include the hosting), but am a complete newbie at user-management. Currently, I would provide the editing/maintaning of the template site the use chooses.

Does anyone have a recommendation of a CMS, or know how to create one for the user to add/modify/delete sections of the template-site they select? Also, are there any tutorials on implementing the CMS with existing HTML/Flash templates (i.e. the code I need in the HTML)?

Thanks for any advice...

Actually, I did a search on "content managment" and the results were pretty confusing (formatting) and not very helpful.

Depending on how large you

Depending on how large you need it to be there are an array of content management systems out there.

Where I currently work we use TeamSite by Interwoven. It doesn't sound like that's what you're going to be looking for exactly. Macromedia also makes it's own content management software. It's called Contribute.

Here's some links to the above mentioned CMS.
