[aklug] Re: Quick and Dirty Websites

I have to disagree here. I've tried Drupal and there's a steep learning curve. It takes minutes to put up a site with wordpress. Couldn't figure out Drupal.

I'm still suggesting one give squarespace.com a try. I've heard great things about it. Need to try it soon.

Are these websites you are building?
I would suggest you go with Drupal.... You can set up some
very dramatic websites ahead of time with a very modest time
investment, download the tables and zip up the drupal
install.... even do a little script that does a complete
rollout by putting the drupal for the new site in place,
fiddling the cong files and creatingdb/uploading data.

Once upon a time civispace or whatever they were called did
that with civicrm websites (they still do but they
charge.....) They gave you a compete civicrm/drupal website
complete with page templates so when you got your account
you had a functioning civicrm/drupal website with half a
dozen or so pages etc.

Additionally, drupal allows your clients to easily grow
into a more complex and comprehensive site, giving you a
built in element for your business plan...
