Hi all,

I'm currently running a site with Mambo, and I'm very pleased with it. However, I'm planning to set up a site in a different field and I feel that Mambo will be overkill for my needs.

I want a simple CMS system. I don't need to change templates on a per page basis. I don't need boxes of information everywhere.
What I want is to be able to build an html template, and specify (using a tag/header+footer code/etc) where the article content should go. I just need a system robust enough to handle 1000+ articles but without the bloat and fluff of Mambo. It needs to handle publishing/revising articles, searching, menu management and maybe plugins.

I'd like to try and make my site pages small you see, and with my Mambo site it's a job to get the html below around 30kb!

Suggestions would be welcomed! :-)

Thanks

Craig

Drupal is pretty well coded. And you the base installation doesn't have many extras pre-enabled. With 1,000+ pages, you're going to need something fairly robust. And it has a good potential for growth. I just looked at a drupal article of mine and the code itself, with the WYSIWYG editor, was 8K. The stylesheets combined were 22K with 1k for the JS file. Then the text which will vary obviously. IMO, Drupal rocks the house!
