Hi,
I am a webdesigner and together with a friend of mine I build websites. We make a design, fully HTML, we make forms, PHP functionality, whatever you want.
But there always is the problem that our clients need the possibility to edit their own content.
We used Wordpress for that mostly, but I don't actually like it anymore. Its rather buggy and doesn't fit the needs actually.
The functionality we need is actually just the following. We need a CMS that just let clients edit the content of pages that exist, create news articles and manage pictures in albums. No more than that.
We dont need the design of the sites managed by the CMS. A CMS manages content, like it says. We are looking for just a tool that has a rich text editor and that can create correct HTML out of visual text and just stores it in a DB as HTML so that our website can handle the code by implementing it.
I once began creating my own CMS but always the rich text editor is way to hard to make it with full functionality. The one of Wordpress nearly fitted.
My question now is: Can Drupal be used for this purpose or not?
I just installed a Drupal to test it, and the first thing it does is create an index.php with its own design. That's the thing my tool don't need to do.
So can Drupal fill my needs? If so, how? Of not so, does anyone here knows the tool I need?
