Is the CMS now built into Elements? Included in the price? Or is it an add-on? Thank you ---

Yes, everything @ben has demoed so far will be included in the core product for free 🙂 However, if you want the online editing components (We’ve not written this part, and it’s a long way off), that will probably be extra. ---

Thats interesting. I spend about 30 min a day reviewing the topics for RW and Elements, and the same on Stacks(6) and TCMS3. From what I can gather, with TCMS3 you will have to buy a license for each published website. That could be a considerable difference if you have a bunch of clients. I will have to double check this. Will need a closer look at Elements CMS and TCMS3 to see of I am looking at apples vs apples (no pun intended).
