Is there an Open Source Content Managment System?

(I think I posted on the wrong forum so I am re-posting here >.<)

I am a Graphic designer but have not had much experience with the technical side of web development. I have designed pages, banners and animations for sites, but I have never actually been involved with the technical side of websites.

I am starting a small online design business where I will be not only selling my graphic design skills (such as corporate ID etc), but I will also be selling web design services.

What I would like to do, is to be able to offer my clients several options. The option I need help with is the "Budget Websites" option. I would like to be able to offer low cost web design services, where they have complete control of the content. They will have a choice of several templates, and will add the content themselves.

I have a "little" (maybe miniscule would be a better description >.> lol) knowledge of how content managment systems work, however, I need a little help with options, availability and just overall advice.

Cheers!

Hello, Have you considered using a CMS such as Wordpress? This is highly customizable and easy for clients to update content for themselves. Also lots of plug-ins and templates are out there for this platform.

Other CMS platforms to consider, joomla, drupal and mambo.


Best of luck,

Hiya,

Thanks for the info, I am looking into them now. =)

He means something with a backend that allows people to change "just" the content of any page. This means no template, no menu code, just some <div>'s where some content could be put in using a simple admin backend. If i'm correct. And joomla or any other full cms does not offer that (i think cms ms is doing a good job , but then again you need some coding to make the templates).
I'm working on something like that, but it won't be open source, sorry.
