Affordable CMS?

[List2Sell]

Anyone know of any cheap/free content management system? I've heard only of zope, but I guess you have to be a genius programmer to use it.

I use Drupal most frequently. Joomla is nice too.

If you want to create a stylish, simple, ajax, and seo-friendly site I recomend ModX. Very customizable and fantastic for creating custom templates.

I agree MODx is a great tool, but if I didn't have my own programming wizard around to set it up, I couldn't use it. It's a content management framework and like with building a house, there is still a lot of work to do after the framing is up

If you want a free, online, wysiwyg website creator, try Weebly.com
Can't get much simpler than that, and makes OK looking sites...

Personally I use Wordpress for a lot of sites. Easy, flexible, lots of nice themes, adsense optimized themes, lots of nice SEO plugins and stuff, and it's free.

I also use RapidWeaver but that's just for the Mac. Costs money, like $40 or so.

For my most important sites, the CMS thingies are no good. I never get it down exactly as I want it. Therefore I just make the site from scratch using a text editor. This way you get exactly what you want, but it requires knowledge of CSS and Html. Not much harder to learn that than to try and learn Joomla which I tried but it was daunting...
