Thanks for the info – I think I’ve got a few dead donkeys to drop right now. On the CMS side, I use Flash exclusively, which can make CMS awkward. It is possible in a limited way, but not exactly swish.

I would always recommend including a CMS, however you need to make sure your clients can use it. In our experience there can be a lot of problems with using a open source CMS. I would recommend building a relationship with a developer and offering a custom built CMS that is really easy to use. It will set you apart from the pack.

Great article and very useful.

What I would say following on from the CMS systems is possibly trying to build your own simple CMS rather than diving straight into complex hard to edit software like Joomla.

Once you have mastered basic PHP combined with MySQL, building your own small system that can support WYSIWYG and uploading files is not that hard.

There is some excellent information here.

The reseller accounts here in the UK are very expensive, I use hosting in the States. Do shop around because hosting services vary.

The CMS is great, allowing users to be in control of their site. This saves the client buying programs like dreamweaver, and if you let the clients update their site, after a project they can’t moan at you, cause it is not getting any visits.

Making industry contacts is vital, I have a few and it does help.

Many Thanks

Is getting reseller account hosting is really worth it?. I do agree that Joomla is much ok that Drupal but anyway your articles is indeed great as I can see your points there. I do believed that making simple design is much better since the main purpose of clients is to get there message across and achieve there main goals.
