Our Experience:
If you don’t want to take the time to figure out all of the mumbo-jumbo of all the other CMS’s (such as installing software, creating databases, learning their tags, etc.) this is the CMS for you. (It took us about 10 minutes to convert a site for Cushy to use) It is extremely client friendly, and easy to figure out for simple, static websites. It can handle a few various types of content including headlines, text, images, and code.
That’s about it though. If you’re looking for anything more dynamic, or more complicated then this probably isn’t for you.
