Is Your Site Cushy?

I was informed of a new CMS (Content Management System) the other day by a friend. It was called Cushy CMS (http://www.cushycms.com/). Anyone familiar with Wordpress, Drupal, Blackboard, Joomla! and other sites of the like will know what a CMS is. The difference here, is that Cushy allows a web designer to plug in editable areas of their existing and/or future sites with a simple copy and paste of code. As if that wasn't cool enough, there is a free account and a paid accout (which enables custom branding).

I personally feel that this is an excellent way to go. It allows a designer to make certain areas of a site or page editable by anyone, with an easy-to-understand form. Another benefit is that this system works through Cushy CMS, so there's nothing else to implement or install. It gives the designer and the client(s) easy access to areas of the site(s) that need changes, with little to no technical challenges. Another advantage is that moving an existing site to another host can cause some problems in certain cases, especially when moving from one system to another. Cushy CMS avoids this problem by allowing the designer to move the site and have the functionality of the CMS in place. No version control is necessary, as in the case of Joomla!

OK, so that's a short rant about a great idea in practice. It certainly merits a good mention, and I wish them well.
