    i've used wordpress in the past for simple sites to allow the owner modify content. it's no good for any sort of large scale website but handy for simple 3-5 page sites.

    sites i've built using word press:

    Joomla is an excellent CMS but has a bit of a steep learing code if your not used to layouts sections and categories. But its limits are endless with what you can do.

    You can give them frontend access where they can edit content but not do too much damage

    Thanks very much for the responses. I am going to go with Joomla I think.
    But thanks to everyone.

    agree, I'm at the limit of it. More will only be possible with self developed components .

    Any suggestions as to which wiki to go for ?

    doesn't have to be fancy, ease of use / reliabilty preferred (and of course secure from those without passwords )


    Just have the basic home package so will have to upgrade it too

    Try CushyCMS - www.cushycms.com

    Quick to set up from a developers point of view and easy to use from a clients perspective. Not very feature rich, but might just be what you are looking for.
