To CMS or not to CMS?

Go for it man, I think with a pad of paper spend some time thinking logically how it should be setup and what functionality is needed I bet it won't take too much time.

Don't suppose you have the link, it would interest me to see how they do theirs?
 
Hmm interesting,what I have done is made a back end menu, from that you select what you want to do so say for example it was an article; get the user to fill in the fields needed once they are complete and the values checked get the server to create a php file which includes a standard site template and the post data inserted, once it's saved it will give the link to where it has been created, if it all seems okay have use a menu mover function to place the file on the live site and update the database with the relevant entry's.

Hope you find it useful, if you would like to brainstorm this I would be happy to throw some more ideas your way.
 
I write PHP/MySQL mini content management stuff all the time for my work's intranet. I have also done a couple of website with custom admin back-ends to add content.

It's quite fun to do if you enjoy coding for its own sake, just make sure your code is secure if its going to go on the www. SQL injections are common and dangerous.

My current view on the matter is if its a site I can put together in no time with something like Joomla or Wordpress and I can make it look professional with a good theme, I dont bother to code anything.
