Hi!

I need a very simple CMS, with these characteristics:

-Navigation tree (max 3 levels)
-Manage single and multiple pages (like "product" page that can be
repeated N times for N products)
-For every page, choose a template. The template indicates the content
to provide (title, text, 2 images, 1 pdf...)

Is there any CMS that is suited for me (eventually with some
customization). Drupal?. Or is it better to start programming from
zero?

Thanks, Bye Max!

My experience with Drupal for a small site is similar to OSCommerce for
10 products: It's like using a cannon to squash a fly. The main
difference is that Drupal seems to effectively squash that particular fly...

My wife recently looked at various CMS's for her family site, and was
pretty happy with Drupal. I'm sure others here will offer their own
suggestions - but I'll second that one.

Drupal is a good choice, I personally prefer Joomla which has a large
user base and probably a user group in your town

hire someone to set up any CMS and then teach you to use.
That is what will make it simple and easy.

then, more importantly, learn how to get to get traffic to your site.
I am always amazed by people with a "new business model"
for the internet that is going to make them millions.

"Just put my web site up and you see how thousands of people will be
doing back flips to sign up on it" or something similar.



by the way, I prefer Joomla V1.5, which I am setting up several website
with it as we post.
