I’m working on a cooking website and I’m a little worried about all the pages it will have for recipes and how to best manage them. I was thinking that a CMS would be the best way to handle this. Is this correct, or would something else work better?
Also, funds are limited. Would it be easy to tie in WordPress for this? All I’d need would be a link to the recipe section, correct?
Have a look at WebYep. Stacks4Stacks have a very reasonably priced suite of stacks that make it easy to use. Note that you’ll also need to get WebYep itself, which is linked from their page. I got it all today, and was up & running in no time, after watching the short YouTube video…
It’s just the other way round: you would use a WP page within a stack… Great solution, but you wouldn’t be able to use stacks like “Charter” and “CalcStack” inside the WP posts, since WP isn’t capable of using stacks.
What about having the top half of the page be WordPress (text and pictures) and then the bottom of the page be RapidWeaver (with the stacks). Would that be possible?
Per the question above I’m Interested to hear if the site will be updated/managed by others not using rapidweaver as well. I haven’t seen mention of joe workman’s total cms but I feel like the blog functionality would work quite well here. I don’t have any experience with other rapidweaver focused cms systems (other than cushy cms and total cms) but it seems one of the various options with blogging abilities might work. Perhaps budget constraints will not allow?
Yes, but I always thought that a CMS was needed for posting something repetitive like posting recipes would be. Wouldn’t a CMS be less straining on the server?
Another option is Armadillo CMS for RW. It’s easy for both the developer and the end user. And as discussed in another post, @nimblehost is working on version 3.0 (no release date yet). But the current version is great already, and very reasonably priced $39 ! It supports multiple users with different rights, multiple blogs etc.
@davidfreels I did not mention Go CMS because I got the impression @AngelArs was not wanting to spend that much ( even though our unlimited license works out to be a fabulous value ).
Here is the link if you want to check it out. It would work really well for what you describe.
