    There seems to be a certain amount of snobbery when it comes to CMS, what difference does it make how the site was built if the end results are what you wanted?

    Well sell them a joomla book and wish them good luck. I think you'll find they still want you to make the site. As easy and all as the likes of joomla might seem to you (or anyone in this particular forum) it's still way beyond the average pc user. Be up front and tell them whats happening, tell them you'll set it all up and by using the site they'll gradually learn enough to become self sufficient, they probably never will become self sufficient but will like the thought of not having to pay out for further updates when buying initially.

    IF all your bringing to the table as a web designer is that you know how to install joomla, then pick another industry.

    There is a huge amount of work involved making a wordpress or joomla template from scratch. You would have to charge megabucks for a totally customised WP or joomla site because the design and grachics are easy enough but then ya have to go coding php too.

    hi

    I use coffeecup site designer, (coffeecup.com ). Its great! theres a ftp loader too built in!.


    I use to use CoffeeCup and found the preview tab very handy as you dont have to save the page every time you want to preview it in a browser.

    I'm gone back using Dreamweaver. It's the king of code. I think its worth the money.
