Hmm why dont you try Modx at http://modxcms.com/ its got lots of customization and there isn't much of a learning curve....heck its not called a CMS but a CMF (content management framework). Try it out sometime ! Hi Brian

Your thoughts of WP confirm my leaning that way. I'm with you about our old websites, also. It would have been a lot less work (but less fun, prob) had WP been around when we began.

All of the plug-ins, the amount of documentation available, and the ease of use make WordPress a good choice, I think. As far as customization goes, so many people work on and with Wordpress that it also seems more likely you can find some existing code and then just be able to tweak it rather than having to write something totally from scratch. Good luck Brian!
