Design & Build Sites Clients Can Edit

What is every web designer's worst nightmare? The answer is probably “Internet Explorer 6,” but that desperate 10:30 p.m. phone call asking you to swap out the headshot of the CEO on the “about our company” page you get every few days from old clients is a close runner up.

I really enjoyed reading the article.  I'm a full time student that has started a web design business with these free online tools.   I have used a lot of the tools mentioned in the readings but the best one i have found wasn't mentioned.  www.Yola.com has been the best platform I have found for my business.  They recently started a program called the Yola Experts Program where they actually help designers like myself start a successful business.  they have sent me marketing material and training booklets with information on how to get clients and how much I should charge.   The coolest part of all, they gave me all this information for FREE.  Again great article but i just wanted to Share a great CMS company,  Yola.com

I have compared Joomla and Drupal before and was heading towards using Drupal. Website Magazines newsletter emails come into my mailbox and I save them to read when my day (and night) job as a self employed Web Designer allows.  Thank you for pointing out that Word Press fits in the CMS. I will investigate further.  I am also curious if, on a smaller scale, Google Sites compares?
