CMS Solutions w. Foundation: Armadillo? Dropkick? Other?

@kryten Yes, I love the capabilities built into TotalCMS. It fills a real need. I’m not a web designer by “job” simply by “hobby”. I’ve heard many good things about Statamic, but have never used myself. Nor do I need to use it for customers. :smile:

There is one future project (about a year from now) where using TotalCMS would be the best solution. I will take the plunge when I need to. I’m certainly glad it’s around!

Armadillo fulfills my immediate needs beautifully. I did not mention that someone will see all the posts, or all the content areas: anyone who is given the “administrator” role. While my students would freak out at seeing 120 different content areas (which they don’t have to worry about), Jonathan has made life easy for me (the admin) by providing both (1) an intuitive way to name solo content areas (some products do the naming for you) and (2) great/easy search capabilities. This means I can always find any of my 120 solo content areas in less than 7 seconds (probably much less). He also provides sorting by various columns (publish date, edit date, name, and more) which may be more beneficial for some.

Overall I think products like Armadillo and TotalCMS are going a long ways towards “saving” RapidWeaver. There’s such a big need for CMS solutions: if RW doesn’t provide those solutions more people will look elsewhere. I hope DropKick continues to develop as well. This is an area where competition will be really really good for both customers and RealMac.

Stacks was the first truly big leap forwards, the new CMS tools represent to me the next big leap forwards. Happy days.
