    Hi,
    I plan to use CSS with CMS on my website. I would like to use CSS content management system for the inherent benefits of managing my website myself. I have seen a few websites developed by Image Works Studio using CSS CMS together in a very correct manner. Can any of you please guide me what CSS content management system they have used?
    Can you point me to any online resources that help in using CMS and CSS to develop a website and make it SEO friendly.

    Thank You,

    Hi Rheanna,

    There's no such thing as a 'CSS content management system'.

    What CSS tries to do is separate out the style (stored externally in CSS files) from the content (in this case generated by a CMS). Any good CMS you can find will do this sort of a task by itself. Then, the only thing you'll need to do is write CSS to style the content that it outputs.

    The best bet is to pick a CMS based on how simple markup (a good buzzword to Google is 'semantic', which means relating to meaning, rather that relating to style or appearance) that you like the administrative side of.

    Image Works Studio seems to sell their own custom CMS, which you can buy from http://www.imageworksstudio.com/webserv/webserv_maintenance.html

    You can generally write a w3c complain css markup for you template for all of these CMS systems. As for the CMS components, you will probably have to hack them. I use Joomla -

    I would not be suprised if the next couple of releases include w3c compliance.
