Grow Your Business Online - Web sites to boost your business

Riverwood Residents Association

Initially the site was static html but this was time consuming to update. Then it was changed to use Joomla but it was much more than what was needed.

Finally Joomla was replaced with CMS Made Simple. It lives up to its name - it is very easy to work with and to theme.

The original static html version of the site was easy to understand but tedious when editing. Then I changed the site to use Joomla but was never very comfortable with it. I never read the tutorials for Joomla so it was probably my own fault that I didn't like it.

I like CMS Made Simple, having used it on other sites so it was easy to make it work for the residents association.
