Frog CMS seems to be a new player in the market at the moment, and I have to say so far I am reasonably impressed. In my opnion CMS generally are so bloody complicated that you tend to look at them play for a bit and then slag them off because you could not quite get it right.

Well I have been working with Frog recently when I have a spare min (Which to be honest is not often), and have found it to be very nice to work with. It is as is says a lightweight CMS, no libary of a million plugins that could be cut to 10 because they all do the same thing. It is lightweight with a gew developers who have grown to enjoy using and programming with it.

True to most open source solutions, it is a bit buggy and certain improvments could be made but on the whole it works as a nice development platform and also allows a client to create pages really simply. The use of snippets and layouts(templates) makes the whole system feel a lot more controlled from a developer point a view, meaning the user need not worry about wrecking what you have done.

I shall keep on working on it and let you know when I have something produced it in it (See you in 2010 then).

It has really taken off this month – I have work coming out of my ears. My typing arm is a bit knackered from all the hockey I have been playing and falling over a lot and then being spanked by the strikers, consequently I have just invested 500 British pounds of my monet in a new kit, 500 pounds for four bits of foam.

Anyway – I have managed to secure Releif Milkerz, C&F Hockey, DLP Coaches, Showbiz Spy and Mantek as clients and a couple of others on the card. Releif Milkerz is the site I am currently working on and is a big project which in my opnion is going to work really well, very niche!.
