Website framework

[Sidney Shapiro]

Howdy all,

Just an update on this politico project. We had it all set up using
Mambo, and the client liked the interface and built in modules. We had a
very hard time getting them to understand how to use the back end
interface and ran into a number of problems from our end as well.

Problems which arose:

- The template was simple, but since we did not use categories, it added
extra unneeded steps to adding info

- Hard to get in there and do things like add forms, php snippets, etc.

- Hard to train clients on, and very confusing to get across on a
limited time schedule.

Bottom line, we ended up copying everything into HTML/PHP/Java Script
and the client is happy. In the future, we are defiantly not going to
use the Mambo CMS but will be trying others. 

Quick question: Anyone know a resource or HOWTO to make those sweet
menus featured in the mambo backend? They are semi translucent drop
downs, not sure what language they are written in.

Many Thanks,

Sid
