Content Management?

[jlbecker]

We are in the beginning stages of a website overhaul and I need some advice from people more knowledgeable than me. I work for a newspaper and we currently put just stories written in house on our website. Well, we want to change to a paid site with our complete paper online. One of the problems is getting the paper from Quark to the web in the most efficient and simple way so anyone can do it. I guess we are looking for some kind of content management software but it has to be inexpensive. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions?

Thanks for all the help,
Jerry

Macromedia 'Contribute'?

There are even free, open source ones out there. What you use may depend on your server, as in is it *nix or windows? And how "handy" your IT guy is, etc.

CMSMatrix allows you to compare a large number of open source CMS programs - you can probably find one that has the features you need for multiple editors and areas, restricted subscriber content, etc.

Quark Xpress is quite specific. So it doesn't really concerns CMS per se : it's more here a problem of conversion for the first phase and only cms in the second phase. For the conversion I doubt that the Editor of Quark Express doesn't have any solution for that although I didn't check. Beware not to take a proprietary solution from them. Better choose conversion to XML and then you can convert XML to HTML.
