CMS for clients?
Hey fellow TF'ers,
I am planning on creating my own CMS for my clients. Has anyone here done the same? I will also offer custom CMS' but want to have a standard one that all clients can use. What features are a must? How should I go about pricing?

Something like mambo...

oh right cool. well obviously check out some of the main cms like joomla, and also wordpress ino its regarded as blogging software but is also can be integrated as a cms and has some great features you could take and use on your own cms.

I've made plenty of CMS' for clients.
You should price it on how hard you think you worked, and a few other things like is it secure, does everything work?
When you first start, maybe start with a low price and work up, the client may refer friends this way.

Basecamp till the day I die! Don't kill yourself trying to make a complex, feature-rich CMS when there are plenty substitutes out there.

Bryan, this is the way I see it: To get your clients website you almost often have to tweak a CMS to get it the way they want it. If you write the basic CMS you base all/most your clients off, you are more familiar with the system.
