That's exactly what it provides! We are able to design and code (to W3C Standards of course,) the design and image that our client needs, and LightCMS takes control of all of the functionality. The Photo Gallery tool is great and a big hit with our clients! It definitely leaves a feeling of empowerment and ease in our clients, which of course makes a happy client, and in turn, a happy company! <strong>Weaknesses:</strong> LightCMS is closed source so you can not develop your own plug-ins for it. If that's something your looking for, LightCMS may not deliver all you need. For simple, "light" management, it's superb!

They offer a design to template service which is good, but i haven't used it. <strong>Weaknesses:</strong> the wysiwyg editor is like tinyMCE or something, that kind of resembles the output but the panels implemented end up looking nothing like they do on the page. I'll probably switch over to xevo at some point, but for now it's ok. Strengths: Light CMS is simple for my clients to use in many ways.
