Very easy for end-users to manage their own sites. The administration menu is very basic, and well laid out. Very easy installation of additional design templates and program modules. Many free website designs to download. Quite a few program add-ons available which provide models for developers to learn from. <strong>Weaknesses:</strong> The documentation is good, but developers will need to hunt around and ask questions. A fair bit of the information is in German. No tutorials to speak of. I'm not convinced the "framework" is robust enough for big sites? Strengths: The easiest cms I have come across for end users.

I’m not convinced the “framework” is robust enough for big sites?

So if you want to learn it to someone how to add content and manage a site on his own - no problem! - It fits very well for people who don't want to make a big project with their website, but just want to present their company or create a portfolio of themselves or their association. That doesn't mean that bigger projects can't be achieved with Websitebaker. - I never saw a CMS which it was easier to create your own template with a little knowledge of html and css. There are also a lot of free templates ready to download instantly. - The community is quite big and very nice, also if someone needs more patience ;-). - There are about 180 modules so far to be used in Websitebaker. <strong>Weaknesses:</strong> - It's very difficult to build a community website with Websitebaker. - All of the modules are stable, but not all are deeply matured.
